a specialized cell structure that propels the sperm is the:
flagellum.
cillum.
microvillus.
microtubule.
Question 19
Food digestion breaks large molecules into smaller ones, which is decomposition (breaking down). Synthesis builds up, exchange swaps parts, reversible can go both ways. Digestion is decomposition.
Catabolic processes break down molecules (release energy). Hydrolysis breaks bonds with water (catabolic). Dehydration synthesis (anabolic, builds with water removal), peptide bond formation (anabolic). So hydrolysis is catabolic.
Sperm use flagella for movement. Cilia are shorter, microvilli increase surface area, microtubules are part of structure but not the propeller. Flagellum propels sperm.
