Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. dopamine and serotonin

2. brain and spinal cord

3. controls the function of different processes in the body  

4. limbic system

5. Increase brain surface area  

6. release hormones into the bloodstream

7. insulation  

8. laughing has multiple positive functions in the body

Explanation:

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (i.e., a chemical messenger) involved in responses to rewards, motivation and memory, while serotonin is another neurotransmitter that controls appetite, mood, wakefulness and sleep onset. The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord acts as a conduit by which messages are sent from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain.  Moreover, the brain acts to control all body abilities (e.g., thinking, talk, feeling, walking, breathing, etc). The autonomic nervous system is known to modulate different processes (e.g., blood pressure, digestion, breath) and internal organs (e.g., heart) by acting largely unconsciously, i.e., without a person's conscious effort. The limbic system is a part of the brain that acts to control emotions and memory by modulating autonomic/endocrine functions. Convolutions, folds, and fissures can increase brain surface area, thereby more neurons are packed into the cortex of the brain and thus it is possible to process more information. The endocrine system acts to release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones travel in the blood to their target cells/tissues, where they regulate different functions (e.g., mood, growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, etc). The myelin is an insulating layer surrounding nerve cells that enables electrical impulses to transmit efficiently around the whole body. Laughing has multiple positive functions: release endorphin hormones that decrease stress, increases the number of immune cells and antibodies, stimulate the activity of internal organs (e.g., heart), quickly relax the muscles, contribute to increase the oxygen uptake rate in blood, etc.

What type of microbe is used in a vaccine .

Answers

Answer:

answer is below

Explanation:

Several of these structures have been used to generate bacterial vaccines. Toxoids are chemically inactivated toxins from bacteria like Clostridium tetani or Corynebacterium diphtheria. The infection with these bacteria itself does not cause the illness, but rather the exotoxins released from the bacteria.

Vaccines are made from microbes that are dead or inactive so that they are unable to cause disease. The antigen in the vaccine is the same as the antigen on the surface of the disease-causing microbe. The vaccine stimulates the body to produce antibodies against the antigen in the vaccine.

This question may be completed independently or as a group exercise. You have learned that humans have 46 total chromosomes, and chimpanzees have 48 total chromosomes. Use other textbooks in biological anthropology and biology (or reputable online resources) to find the number of chromosomes in other organisms. Give an organism with considerably more chromosomes than humans. Give an organism with considerably fewer chromosomes than humans. Did your findings surprise you

Answers

Answer:

In comparison to humans, there are more chromosomes in the Hermit crab that is 127 pairs of chromosomes for a grand total of 254 and in Myrmecia pilosula has fewer chromosomes than humans.

The complexity of an organism or how advance is an organism has nothing to do with the number of chromosomes it had. The chromosome number is subject to change over time. Human ancestors had more chromosome numbers as compared to now but they are not advanced to us.

Sort the items into the appropriate locations, depending on whether they are unique to the PQ cycle, unique to the Q cycle, or common to both.The cycle converts a two-electron transfer process into two one-electron transfer processes.Two electrons are transferred from the reduced carrier to cytochrome c.Addition of electrons one at a time generates a semiquinone intermediate.Used to translocate protons across a membrane.Two electrons are transferred from the reduced carrier to plastocyanin.

Answers

Answer:

1. unique to the PQ cycle:

Two electrons are transferred from the reduced carrier to plastocyanin

2. unique to the Q cycle:

Two electrons are transferred from the reduced carrier to cytochrome c

3. common in both PQ cycle and Q cycle:

- The cycle converts a two-electron transfer process into two one-electron transfer processes

- Addition of electrons one at a time generates a semiquinone intermediate

- Used to translocate protons across a membrane

Explanation:

The Q cycle (Q due to quinol) refers to the cycle by which electrons are transferred from ubiquinol to cytochrome c. This cycle is associated with the sequential mechanism of oxidation-reduction between ubiquinol and ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10, used as electron carrier), in order to move protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. In the first phase of the cycle, ubiquinol attaches onto the cytochrome c oxidoreductase, also called complex III (because this complex is the third complex in the electron transport chain), in order to transfer two electrons to the complex. On the other hand, the PQ cycle (PQ due to plastoquinone) refers to the cycle where plastoquinone transports electrons during light-dependent photosynthetic reactions. In the PQ cycle, the plastoquinone serves as an electron carrier through the membrane of the thylakoid. In the first step of this cycle, plastoquinone obtains two electrons from photosystem II and absorbs two protons from the chloroplast stroma, resulting in plastoquinol, which subsequently transfers electrons to plastocyanin in a process coupled with the generation of a proton gradient between the lumen of thylakoid discs and stroma.

d) A group that does not drink soda (caffeinated or decaffeinated) or other caffeinated beverages for 10 days

Answers

Answer:

d) A group that does not drink soda (caffeinated or decaffeinated) or other caffeinated beverages for 10 days

Explanation:

In an experiment, two groups exist as follows: experimental group and control group. Experimental group is the group that receives the experimental treatment (independent variable) while the CONTROL GROUP is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment.

In this experiment, the experimental treatment is the CAFFEINATED SODA (contains caffeine). Hence, the appropriate control group for this experiment will be the group that does not drink any soda (whether caffeinated or decaffeinated) or other caffeinated beverages for 10 days.

There is a moth in England called the peppered moth. Before Britain's industrial revolution, these moths were usually salt and pepper colored. Because of their coloring, they blended in well with the tree trunks on which they tended to rest. The coloring helped them hide from the birds that ate them. During the British industrial revolution, industry expelled a lot of soot from the burning of coal into the environment. This soot darkened the tree trunks, and it was noted that black-colored moths were becoming predominant. The idea is that with soot in the environment, black-colored moths fared better than light-colored moths. There is some debate as to whether this is actually the case or not, but for the sake of this question, let's assume it is. In your own words, explain the concepts from the four observations discussed in 12.2 using the moth as an example. In other words, how does the moth illustrate the first observation, the second observation, etc.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - natural selection in moths.

Explanation:

This is an event of historical Industrial melanism, an event caused by the process of natural selection. Due to this event, the evolution of dark body colors in moth species that present in such habitats become black by industrial soot.

Peppered moths in the UK were pale grey before the revolution of industries, But after the habitat become polluted with soot from coal‐fired industries, melanic snd become numerous and spread to other regions.

After the century the pollution comes down and the pale phenotype becomes the predominant form.

What is sunburn?

A person having lesser melanin content in their skin has the risk of developing redness, swelling, and pain in the skin indicative of cellular damage caused by excessive sun UV radiation, this is known as sunburn.

Matt received a second-degree sunburn, which affects the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin.  The inflammatory stage, proliferation stage, and matrix remodeling are the tissue repair process.

The skin is the first line of defence and acts as a barrier, after this injury affect this line of defence is affected causing entry of pathogens inside the body.

In absence of the epidermis, when the dermis is exposed, easily bruises and injury occur since blood vessels are exposed to the skin's surface.

Therefore, excessive exposure to the UV light creates deep tan signs.

Explain how specific membrane-bound organelles of the keratinocytes are used to produce, transport, and modify aquaporin polypeptides from mRNA.

Answers

Answer:

Epidermis.

It is composed of keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium and is made up of 4 layers of epithelial cells depending on its location in the body. From deeper to superficial these layers are stratum Basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, and stratum corneum. The cells in all the layers except for stratum besele are called keratinocytes which is a cell that manufactures and stores the protein keratin.

Stratum Basale.

It is a cuboid-shaped stem cell that is a precursor of the keratinocytes of the epidermis. Two other cell types found in this basal cell are Merkel cells which function as a receptor and are responsible for stimulating sensory nerves that the brain perceives as touch. The second is melanocyte that produces melanin pigment which gives the skin its color.

Stratum spinosum.

It is spiny in appearance due to the protruding cell processes that join the cells via a structure called desmosome. The desmosome cell interlock with each other to strengthen the bond between the cell. Keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum stats synthesizing keratin and release water-repelling glycolipid that helps to prevent water losses from the body.

Stratum granulosum.

They are grainy in appearance due to further change in keratinocytes as they are pushes from the stratum spinosum. The cells become flat as their membrane thickens to allow the production of protein keratin which accolades as lamellar granules within the cells.

Stratum Lucidum.

It is a smooth and translucent layer of the epidermis situated above the stratum granulosum. Keratinocytes containing these cells are dead and flat. Stratum lucidum cells are packs with eleiden derived from keratohyalin which give these cells their transparency and provide a barrier to water.

Stratum corneum.

This is the most superficial layer in the epidermis and it prevents penetration of microbes and dehydration of underlying tissues.

Dermis.-This is the inner layer of the skin and has the following functions.

Reticular layer

Just below the papillary layer, we have a much thicker layer called the reticular layer composing of dense connective tissue. It contains elastin fibers providing elasticity to the skin enabling movement.

Hypodermis

Explanation:

KeratinocytesKeratinocytes produce a wide variety of cytokines that have important roles in mediating cutaneous immune responses, inflammation, wound healing, and the growth and development of certain neoplasms. Keratinocytes also produce eicosanoids, prostaglandin (PG) E2, and neuropeptides such as propiomelanocortin and α MSH.In the basal layer of the skin, the innermost stratum, a basal keratinocyte has just divided by mitosis to form a new basal keratinocyte. This new cell starts to divide itself and produces many more keratinocytes.The keratinocytes from the squamous layer are then pushed up through two thin epidermal layers called the stratum granulosum and the stratum lucidum. As these cells move further towards the surface of the skin, they get bigger and flatter and adhere together, and then eventually become dehydrated and die.

the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy , how much would be passed to the primary consumer?

Answers

Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.
