1. Cerebral Cortex
2. Hypothalamus
3. Brainstem
4. Spinal Cord

Answers

(1)The cerebral cortex, also known as the cerebral mantle, is the outer layer of neural tissue of the cerebrum of the brain in humans and other mammals. The cerebral cortex mostly consists of the six-layered neocortex, with just 10% consisting of allocortex.

(2)The hypothalamus is a small region of the brain. It's located at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland. While it's very small, the hypothalamus plays a crucial role in many important functions, including: releasing hormones. regulating body temperature.

(3) The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior stalk-like part of the brain that connects the cerebrum with the spinal cord. In the human brain the brainstem is composed of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata Ten pairs of cranial nerves come from the brainstem.

(4)The spinal cord is a long, fragile tubelike structure that begins at the end of the brain stem and continues down almost to the bottom of the spine. The spinal cord consists of bundles of nerve axons forming pathways that carry incoming and outgoing messages between the brain and the rest of the body.

Which of the following events is typical of meiosis but not of mitosis?
A the chromosomes are highlighted
B. the centrioles are formed
C chromatids separate
D. the homologous chromosomes are paired AND the spindle is formed

Answers

Answer:

D. the homologous chromosomes are paired AND the spindle is formed

Explanation:

Meiosis is the type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). Both meiosis and mitosis occur in different stages including prophase, metaphase, anaphase etc but meiosis occurs in two series of division processes called meiosis I and meiosis II.

In prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes, which are similar but non-identical chromosomes from male and female parents pair to form tetrad or bivalent. This pairing of homologous chromosome is unique and peculiar to MEIOSIS but never mitosis.

The protein calcineurin binds to the protein calmodulin with an association rate of 8.9 × 103 M-1s-1 and an overall dissociation constant, Kd, of 10 nM. The dissociation rate kd is:_____. Please explain step by step.
A. 8.9 × 10^3 M-1s-1
B. 8.9 × 10^2 s-1
C. 1.1 × 10-10 s-1
D. 8.9 × 10-5 s-1

Answers

Answer:

D

Explanation:

From the information given:

Association rate [tex]K_a[/tex] = [tex]8.9 \times 10^3 M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

dissociation constant [tex]K_D[/tex] = 10 nM

dissociation rate [tex]K_d[/tex] = ???

Using the following relation from equilibrium dissociation constant to determine the dissociation rate, we have:

[tex]K_D =\dfrac{ K_d}{K_a}[/tex]

[tex]K_d = K_D \times K_a[/tex]

[tex]K_d =(10*10^{-9} \ M) \times (8.9*10^3 \ M^{-1}{s^{-1})[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{K_d =8.9*10^{-5} \ {s^{-1}}}[/tex]

Warfarin acts by inhibiting the activity of the VKORC1 protein, which helps to produce functional clotting factors. There is a variant in the VKORC1 gene that lowers the dose of warfarin required for treatment, and individuals with this variant have increased risk of bleeding when they are treated with warfarin. This variant is found 1639 base pairs upstream of the translational start site. This variant likely:______.
a. decreases the activity of the VKORC1 protein.b. increases the activity of the VKORC1 protein.c. decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.d. increases expression of the VKORC1 gene.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer - c. decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.

Explanation:

Mutation of Guanine nucleotide into Adenosine is the reason for this particular type of mutation. This mutation expresses the less expression of the VKORC1 protein.

The mutation results in a decrease in the affinity of the binding site of the transcription factor which causes less expression. Since the VKORC1 protein is less in the body so Warfarin doses are decreased  

Thus, the correct answer is - decreases expression of the VKORC1 gene.

Discuss how important you think it is to protect ecosystems from human-induced change, such as changes in habitat or introduction of invasive species. Should natural conditions be preserved at all costs, should human needs always prevail, or is the answer somewhere in between? Discuss the negative consequences of taking an approach that you disagree with.

Answers

Answer:

Humans impact the physical environment in many ways: overpopulation, pollution, burning fossil fuels, and deforestation. Changes like these have triggered climate change, soil erosion, poor air quality, and undrinkable water.  ecosystems are vital for human welfare and survival, as they provide us with essential products and benefits.

Over 90% of our food comes from terrestrial ecosystems, which also provide energy, building materials, clothes, medicines, fresh and clean water, and clean air. Protecting wildlife and preserving it for future generations also means that the animals we love don't become a distant memory. And we can maintain a healthy and functional ecosystem.

130 and 14C are isotopes of 12C, which has 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 6 neutrons. What is the arrangement of subatomic particles in 14c?
A. 6 electrons, 7 protons, and 6 neutrons.

Answers

The correct answer is C. 6 electrons, 6 protons, and 8 neutrons.

Explanation

An isotope is a type of atom that is characterized by having a nucleus with a different number of neutrons. Additionally, isotope atoms are those that have the same number of protons in the nucleus (in the case of carbon 6 protons), but different mass numbers. In the case of the isotope of carbon, it has 8 neutrons (2 more neutrons than the regular carbon) and 6 protons in the nucleus, that is, that its mass is 14 (6 protons + 8 neutrons equals 14). According to the above, the correct answer is C.

In pulsus paradoxus, even if the pulse cannot be palpated, it can still be heard by using a BP cuff and stethoscope.

a. True
b. False

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Pulse can't be heard by using a BP cuff and stethoscope because these devices are used to measure the heartbeat and blood pressure of the body. Digital monitors display both blood pressure and heart rate, but you can determine the pulse by checking your pulse by using hand while on the other hand, heartbeats can easily be heard using a good stethoscope so we can say that pulse can't be heard through BP cuff and stethoscope.

When an organism encounters nitrate in its environment, which condition will determine whether the nitrate is used in an assimilatory or dissimilatory manner?

a. low concentration or ammonia
b. low concentration of sulfate
c. oxygen present
d. low temperature
e. oxygen absent
f. high concentration of nitrite

Answers

Answer:

Dissimilatory- oxygen absent

Assimilatory- high concentration of nitrite

Explanation:

In assimilatory nitrate reduction, ammonium is produced and subsequently incorporated into biomass to build up e.g., proteins and nucleic acids. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction is a process for energy conservation, in which nitrate is used as an electron acceptor in the (near) absence of oxygen . Dissimilatory nitrate reduction and nitrate storage in particular are physiological life traits that provide microbes with environmental flexibility (i.e., metabolic activity under both oxic and anoxic conditions) and resource independence (i.e., anaerobic metabolism without immediate nitrate supply), respectively. Such life traits are especially important in environments that are temporarily anoxic and/or nitrate-free and they may have developed as a “life strategy” in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes

For the following three cultures, using any resource find out if they are obligate aerobes, facultative anaerobe, or obligate anaerobe- o Escherichia coli o Micrococcus luteus o Clostridium sporogenes

Answers

Answer:

Escherichia coli - Facultative anaerobe

Micrococcus luteus - Obligate aerobe

Clostridium sporogenes - Obligate anaerobe

Explanation:

In simple terms, obligate aerobes are organisms that require oxygen to grow and metabolize molecules such as fats and sugars to produce energy. Many animals fall under this category. Other examples are Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Micrococcus luteus.

Facultative anaerobes are organisms (usually bacteria) that can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The most example of this are the Escherichia coli.

Obligate anaerobes are organisms (usually microorganisms) that cannot survive when exposed to normal atmospheric concentration of oxygen. Examples are Clostridium sporogenes and Clostridium botulinum.

what are the biological structures

Answers

Answer:Biological structures are able to adapt their growth to external mechanical stimuli and impacts. For example, when plants are under external loads, such as wind force and self-weight, the overloaded zones are reinforced by local growth acceleration and the unloaded zones stop growing or even shrink. Such phenomena are recorded in the annual rings of trees. Through his observation of the stems of spruce, K. Metzger, a German forester and author, realized that the final goal of the adaptive growth exhibited by biological structures over time is to achieve uniform stress distribution within them. He published his discovery in 1893.12 A team of scientists at Karlsruhe Research Centre adopted Metzger's observations and developed them to one single design rule: the axiom of uniform stress. The methods derived from this rule are simple and brutally successful like nature itself. An excellent account of the uniform-stress axiom and the optimization methods derived from it is given by Claus Mattheck in his book ‘Design in Nature’.13 The present study utilizes one of these methods, stress-induced material transformation (SMT), to optimize the cavity shape of dental restorations.

Explanation:

Answer:

Structural biology is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules (especially proteins, made up of amino acids, RNA or DNA, made up of nucleotides, and membranes, made up of lipids), how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their structures affect their function.
