i’m pretty sure it is B
Answer 2

The high specific heat of water help maintain the temperature of the Earth by heating and cooling more slowly than land or air. Thus, the correct option is A.

What is the specific heat of water?

The specific heat of an object is the amount of heat which is required to increase or raise the temperature of unit mass of that particular substance through one degree celsius. Specific heat is represented by the symbol 'c'. Its unit in SI system is Joule /(kg °C) and in CGS is cal / (gm °C).

The high specific heat of water helps in regulating the rate at which air changes its temperature, which is why the temperature of the planet change between different seasons is gradual rather than sudden, especially the geographical locations near the ocean.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Primary sensory afferent axons have widely varying diameters, and their size correlates with the type of receptor to which they are attached. Write down the axons that are the smallest and the slowest?

Answers

Answer:

Smaller and slower axons are those related to temperature, itching and pain.

Explanation:

As you may already know, the axon is an extension of the neuron that has the ability to transmit signals to cells, indicating the nerve impulse that must be felt by the body. In other words, the axons receive a synapse, which is the nerve impulse, and pass this message on to a nerve cell to turn it into a sensation. These axons have varying diameters and the speed at which they transmit messages also varies. According to researches, the smaller and slower axons are those related to the sensation of temperature, itching and pain.

Like terrestrial biomes, aquatic biomes are influenced by a series of abiotic factors. The aquatic medium—water— has different physical and chemical properties than air, however. Even if the water in a pond or other body of water is perfectly clear (there are no suspended particles), water, on its own, absorbs light. As one descends into a deep body of water, there will eventually be a depth which the sunlight cannot reach. While there are some abiotic and biotic factors in a terrestrial ecosystem that might obscure light (like fog, dust, or insect swarms), usually these are not permanent features of the environment. The importance of light in aquatic biomes is central to the communities of organisms found in both freshwater and marine ecosystems. In freshwater systems, stratification due to differences in density is perhaps the most critical abiotic factor and is related to the energy aspects of light. The thermal properties of water (rates of heating and cooling and the ability to store much larger amounts of energy than the air) are significant to the function of marine systems and have major impacts on global climate and weather patterns. Marine systems are also influenced by large-scale physical water movements, such as currents; these are less important in most freshwater lakes.

The ocean is categorized by several areas or zones (Figure 44.21 (Links to an external site.)). All of the ocean’s open water is referred to as the pelagic realm (or zone). The benthic realm (or zone) extends along the ocean bottom from the shoreline to the deepest parts of the ocean floor. Within the pelagic realm is the photic zone, which is the portion of the ocean that light can penetrate (approximately 200 m or 650 ft). At depths greater than 200 m, light cannot penetrate; thus, this is referred to as the aphotic zone. The majority of the ocean is aphotic and lacks sufficient light for photosynthesis.

Answers

Answer:

a). Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels

b). the motor end plate

c). Threshold, voltage-gated Na channels

d). sodium ions

Explanation:

a). The voltage-gated [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] channels are the key transducers of the membrane potential that changes into a intracellular [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] transients which initiates the  physiological events. When the action potential makes a contact with axon terminal, the voltage-gated [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] channels opens.

b). The acetylcholine is the main neurotransmitter of the parasympathetic nervous system. It helps in blood vessels dilation, muscle contraction, and perform many more functions.

It diffuses with the synaptic cleft that is located on the motor end plate of the nervous system.

c). The membrane potential is also known as the membrane voltage or the  transmembrane potential. When it recaches the threshold, the  voltage-gated Na channels opens to spread the action potential across sarcolemma.

d). The sodium ions in case of acetylcholine binding moves to the muscle fiber due to which the membrane potential rises.

b. Increase in muscle belly circumference
c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres
d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction
e. Lower sarcoplasm pH
f. Increased stimulus frequency.
g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles
h. increased requirement.

Answers

Answer:

1. Weaker contraction:

a. Potassium accumulate in the sarcoplasm

d. Begin contractions with muscle already 50% contraction

e. Lower sarcoplasm pH

g. Circular arrangement of muscle fascicles

2. Stronger Contraction

b. Increase in muscle belly circumference

c. Lesser proportion of motor neurons to muscle fibres

f. Increased stimulus frequency.

h. increased requirement.

Explanation:

Sarcoplasm refers to the cytoplasm of muscle cells which contains ATP, enzymes, and a variety of ions, including potassium (K+). The negative potential required during muscle activity is produced from the disequilibrium of ionic concentrations (mostly Na+ and K+) across the membrane, which is generated through Na+/K+ ATPase pumps. During contraction, a muscle shortens, and thus its circumference increases. The generation of lactic acid is known to lower pH in the sarcoplasm and thus hinder the force and power development of the muscle fibers. Muscle fascicles can be arranged in concentric rings, it is a common pattern in sphincter muscles that modulate the opening and closing of orifices (which have weak contractions). A motor unit refers to a single efferent neuron and all of the muscle fibers it modulates. Each individual muscle fiber is innervated by one motor neuron, whereas a single motor neuron can innervate many muscle fibers. Finally, higher intensity/frequency are known to induce stronger muscular contractions, but also produce a stronger decline in force and cause more rapid muscle fatigue.

The bacterium Methylophilus methylotrophus can use methanol and ammonia for protein synthesis. The glutamate dehydrogenase gene from E. coli was introduced into M. methylotrophus using recombinant DNA techniques. Under high ammonia conditions, the introduction of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene into M. methylotrophus resulted in an increase in protein yield. Select the statements that are reasonable explanations for the increased protein yield in the modified M. methylotrophus. Glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzes the formation of glutamate and glutamine in a two-step process. Both glutamate and glutamine play a key role in amino acid synthesis, thus an increase in levels of glutamate and glutamine increase protein synthesis. Glutamate dehydrogenase has a low affinity for NH^+_4, and can only catalyze the formation of glutamate from alpha-ketoglutarate and NH^+_4, when the concentration of NH^+_4 is high. Glutamate dehydrogenase has a high affinity for NH^+_4, thus the rate of glutamate synthesis increases exponentially under high ammonia conditions. Glutamate is the amino group donor for most transamination reactions involving amino acids, thus an increase in glutamate concentration increases protein synthesis.

Answers

Answer:

- Glutamate dehydrogenase has a low affinity for NH+4, and can only catalyze the formation of glutamate from alpha-ketoglutarate and NH+4, when the concentration of NH+4 is high.  

- Glutamate is the amino group donor for most transamination reactions involving amino acids, thus an increase in glutamate concentration increases protein synthesis.

Explanation:

Glutamate dehydrogenase (GLDH) is an enzyme found in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, which is known to catalyze the reversible oxidative deamination of glutamate (Glu) to alpha-ketoglutarate and ammonia at the same time the oxidation of NADH to NAD. In bacteria, this enzyme (GLDH) is efficient only at high concentrations of the ammonium cation (NH4+), because it has a low affinity for NH4+. Moreover, transamination is a pathway that involves the transfer of an amino group from one amino acid to a ketoacid in order to form new amino acids (this reaction is responsible for the deamination of most amino acids). Glu is the donor of amino groups in most of the reactions catalyzed by enzymes involved in the transamination between an amino acid and an alpha-keto acid. In consequence, in presence of GLDH, a high concentration of Glu will increase the production of new amino acids and therefore also protein synthesis.

p2: ssYY

Explanation:

In the given question it is given that S is the allele for the dominant trait of spherical shape over s allele of dented shape and similarly Yellow pea seed is dominant over y green seed.

It is given that parent 1 or p1 is true breeding for green spherical shaped seeds which means it has two alleles of the same gene that are SSyy (S for spherical and y for green) and parent 2 or p2 is a pure bred plant with yellow dented shaped seeds that would be ssYY.

In a Nitrogen metabolism study, the following data were obtained over the test period:

Nitrogen consumed 175 grams
Total Fecal N 35 grams
Metabolic Fecal N 10 grams
Total Urinary N 80 grams
Endogenous Urinary N 10 grams

Calculate:
a. Apparent Nitrogen digestibility (%)
b. True Nitrogen digestibility (%)
c. Nitrogen Balance (g)
d. Apparent Nitrogen Retention (%)

Answers

Answer:

a. 80%

b. 86%

c. 60 g

d. 34.29%

Explanation:

From the given information:

The apparent nitrogen digestibility (AD) is the ratio of the difference between the consumed nitrogen and fecal nitrogen to the consumed nitrogen.

Mathematically:

[tex]AD = \dfrac{consumed \ nitrogen - fecal \ nitrogen }{consumed \ nitrogen }[/tex]

[tex]AD = \dfrac{175 -35 }{175}[/tex]

AD = 0.8

To percentage, the apparent Nitrogen digestibility = 80%

b. True Nitrogen digestibility is calculated by the formula:

[tex]=\dfrac{consumed \ nitrogen - (fecal \ nitrogen -metabolic \ fecal)}{consumed \ nitrogen}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{175 -(35-10)}{175}[/tex]

[tex]= \dfrac{175 -25}{175}[/tex]

= 0.86

= 86%

c. Nitrogen Balance = consumed Nitrogen - Fecal nitrogen - total uninary

Nitrogen Balance = (175 - 35 - 80) grams

Nitrogen Balance = 60 g

d. Apparent Nitrogen Retention (ANR) is computed as follows:

[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(consumed \ nitrogen-fecal\ nitrogen - total \ uninary )}{nitrogen \consumed }\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(175-35- 80 )}{175 }\times 100\%[/tex]

[tex]ANR = \dfrac{(60 )}{175 }\times 100\%[/tex]

ANR = 34.29%
