Aoa wr wb!

isnt cell wall present throughout? :eek:..

View attachment 12921

I don't see what is confusing you. They are also saying that the cell wall is present. What is confusing me is that they are saying there are no centrioles???? During metaphase, the centrioles are the one which produce the spindle fibres, no?

hi can anyone please help
from 2008 Mayjune q. 35
please explain !!!!!!!!

35 Which disease is treated with drugs that have a similar molecular structure to DNA nucleotides?

A cholera
B HIV / AIDS
C malaria
D tuberculosis (TB)

It's HIV. Mary Jones give an example of Zidovudine and says, "(e.g. zidovudine is similar to the nucleotide that contains the base thymine). Zidovudine binds to the viral enzyme reverse transcriptase and blocks its action. This stops the replication of the viral genetic material and leads to an increase in some of the body's lymphocytes."

No, not in plant cells.

plants do not contain centrioles :D i forgot that fact...and plus i mistakenly saw the wrong option...and thought that the correct answer states there's no cell wall..my mistake :p

does haemoglobin have a higher affinity for oxygen or carbon dioxide?
This is what Wikipedia says about HbCO2: When carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin, carbaminohemoglobin is formed, lowering hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen via the Bohr effect Therefore, at low oxygen partial pressures and hight CO2 partial pressures, CO2 combines with Hb to give HbCO2 and this lowers Hb's affinity for O2. I guess CO2 does not directly have higher affinity for Hb, but it reduces Hb's affinity for O2.

yeah and remember CO2 combined with Hb gives carbo-amino heamoglobin which is only 5 % transmitted in this form and most of the time heamoglobin is transporting oxygen so yeah answer was CO-->O2-->CO2
