List and explain the factors that influence blood pressure, and describe how blood pressure is regulated.

Answers

Arterial blood pressure reflects two factors:
How much the elastic arteries close to the heart can be stretched (their compliance or dispensability)
The volume of blood forced into them at any time. If the amounts of blood entering and leaving the elastic arteries in a given period were equal, arterial pressure would be constant. Blood pressure rises and falls in a regular fashion in the elastic arteries near the heart.

Which groups of viruses require an rna-dependent rna polymerase?

Answers

Most viruses have RNA genomes that are replicated and transcribed into messenger RNA by viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps), usually in concert with other viral and host factors. Many, if not most, eukaryotes also encode putative RdRps that have been implicated in sequence-specific, RNA-triggered gene silencing. Although the viral and cellular RdRps have no sequence homology, they share functional similarities such as copying messenger RNA templates and intercellular spread of the amplified sequences. Better understanding of viral and host RdRps will improve our ability to control viruses and to use RNA silencing and viruses as tools for research, biotechnology, and medicine.

An inversion occurs along part of a chromosome. How does the inversion most likely affect the region in which it occurs?

A. Recessive alleles in the region become dominant alleles.

B. The coding sequence in the region disappears entirely from the cell.

C. Multiple frame-shift errors in the region are triggered after translation.

D. The information in the region is read differently during transcription.

Answers

I think the answer is A Because i remember taking this test and yea...thats my answer 20/10

Answer: The correct answer is-

D. The information in the region is read differently during transcription.

Inversion is a type of mutation ( that is permanent change in the genetic material of living organism) that occurs after break in a chromosome, which is followed by the rearrangement of the broken segment.

In other words, when a segment of chromosome is broken and reversed/rearranged within itself, it is called inversion.

It leads to change in the DNA sequence, due to which information in the region ( that is genetic information present in the form of nucleotide sequences)  is read differently during transcription ( conversion of DNA to mRNA).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

How are fructose and glucose different?


One is a monosaccharide and the other is a disaccharide.


One has 6 carbon atoms and the other has 5 carbon atoms.


They have a double-bonded oxygen in different locations.


They each have a unique molecular formula.

Answers

Answer:

Option). They have a double-bonded oxygen in different locations.

Explanation:

Both glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, having molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆.

Glucose and fructose are different sugars, aldose and ketose respectively, due to the different position of carbonyl group (double bonded oxygen with carbon or C =  O group).  

In glucose, the oxygen atom makes double bonds with last carbon atom of the chain, which means carbonyl group shows an aldehyde group. Thus, it is an aldose sugar.

In fructose, the oxygen makes double bonds with an internal carbon atom and represents a ketone group. Thus, it is a ketose sugar.

Thus, the correct answer is third option.

Final answer:

Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides and isomers with the same molecular formula, C6H12O6. They differ as glucose is an aldose and fructose is a ketose, and they have different ring structures; six-membered for glucose and five-membered for fructose.

Explanation:

Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides with the same molecular formula, C6H12O6, but they differ in their structural arrangement, making them isomers. One of the primary differences is that glucose is an aldose, with the aldehyde group at the end of the molecule, whereas fructose is a ketose with the ketone group in the middle of the molecule. While glucose forms a six-membered ring, fructose forms a five-membered ring structure. These differences in structure lead to variations in their chemical properties and how they are metabolized in the body.

Where in the body would you find low oxygen levels causing vasoconstriction and high levels causing vasodilation?
a. liver
b. lungs
c. kidney
d. heart?

Answers

The correct answer is the lungs. Usually, in the systemic organs such as the liver, kidneys, and the heart; hypoxia or low oxygen levels cause the blood vessels supplying them to vasodilate to increase flow of blood and prevent ischemia. Adequate oxygenation of systemic organs cause the blood supply to vasoconstrict to prevent pooling of oxygenated blood and shunt it to other organs that need the oxygen more.

However, in the lungs, the opposite is true because in the setting of hypoxia, the blood vessels of the lungs vasoconstrict as to shunt the blood to other parts of the lungs with adequate oxygenation for the blood to be adequately oxygenated. If there is adequate oxygen in the lungs, then blood vessels vasodilate to efficiently get the oxygen from the lungs. 
The answer for the question is the lungs.
Vasodilation means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls relax causing them to widen. The widening results in less vsacular resistance, thus the blood flow through the dilated vessel increases. Vasocontsriction on the other hand means the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls contract causing them to narrow. The action results in blood flow through the vessels to be restricted.

A medical term that means puncture pleura to withdraw fluid is ____________.________________ ____________________

Answers

The answer is pleurocentesis.


The brainest answer would be appreciated. 

Final answer:

The medical term for puncturing the pleura to withdraw fluid is thoracentesis, a procedure performed to alleviate symptoms and analyze the cause of a pleural effusion.

Explanation:

The medical term that means puncture of the pleura to withdraw fluid is thoracentesis. This procedure is used when there is an accumulation of excess fluid in the pleural space, a condition known as a pleural effusion, which can interfere with normal breathing. Conducting a thoracentesis involves inserting a needle into the pleural space, often using ultrasound guidance, to remove fluid for both therapeutic relief and diagnostic analysis.

The pleural space normally contains a small amount of fluid which serves as lubrication, allowing the lungs to move smoothly against the thoracic wall during breathing. However, when this balance is disrupted by inflammation, infection, trauma, or other medical conditions, it can lead to pleurisy or other complications such as spontaneous pneumothorax (collapsed lung), which requires prompt medical attention.

What systems are responsible for meiosis and what are the results?

Answers

Answer:

We get oxygen from the air i.e. atmosphere. Green plants release oxygen in the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Respiratory system is responsible for obtaining oxygen from the environment. Circulatory system on other hand helps in delivering this oxygen to different cells of the body with the help of blood.

We get nutrients from the food that we eat. Digestive system breaks down all the complex compounds (such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, fats etc) into simpler elements which are easy to absorb.  

[tex]CO_{2}[/tex] produced as a waste product by the cells is carried by the blood to alveoli in the lungs where it gets diffused out and come out of the body as a part of exhale air. Hence, circulatory system helps in he transportation of [tex]CO_{2}[/tex] from cells to the lungs and respiratory system helps in expelling it out from the lungs to the outside environment.

Solid wastes are mainly excreted out of the body from anus which is a part of digestive system. On the other hand, liquid waste (urine) is excreted out of the body with the help of urethra which is the part of excretory system. In addition, excess salts and water can also excrete out of the body through skin.

Muscles and bones together help us in our locomotion. Nervous system is important for proper functioning of bones and muscles.

Meiosis is the type of cell division used to produce haploid cells or gametes from a diploid parent cell. Hence, it is used in reproduction system to produce sperm in males and eggs in females.

The oceans absorb carbon through three processes that draw atmospheric carbon dioxide into the oceans: the physical carbon pump, the biological carbon pump and the carbonate pump. Molecules of CO2 enter the ocean by diffusing into the sea surface waters and dissolving as part of the physical carbon pump. All BUT ONE variable influences how much CO2 will diffuse in any given location. That is A) wind. B) salinity. C) water temperature. D) geographic location.

Answers

Answer:B

Explanation:

bbbbBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

The variable that does NOT influence how much CO2 will diffuse in any given location is D) geographic location. The other three variables - wind, salinity, and water temperature - can all impact the amount of CO2 that diffuses into the sea surface waters.

For example, higher wind speeds can increase the rate of gas exchange between the atmosphere and ocean, leading to more CO2 entering the ocean. Salinity can affect the solubility of CO2 in water, and water temperature can impact the rate of biological activity that consumes or releases CO2.

The correct answer is geographic location, as this factor does not directly influence how much CO2 diffuses into the ocean. Wind, salinity, and water temperature can affect the solubility of CO2 in water and therefore impact the amount of CO2 that diffuses into the ocean in any given location.

Since the phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule is negatively charged, the fragments of DNA will migrate to the positively charged anode.

Explain how ozone in the stratosphere is formed.

Answers

Stratospheric ozone is formed naturally by chemical reactions involving solar ultraviolet radiation (sunlight) and oxygen molecules, which make up 21% of the atmosphere. In the first step, solar ultraviolet radiation breaks apart one oxygen molecule (O2) to produce two oxygen atoms (2 O) (see Figure Q2-1).

Sunlight's UV rays (sunlight) and the oxygen molecules that make up 21% of the atmosphere interact chemically to create stratospheric ozone in a natural process.

What results in formation of stratosphere, earth atmosphere?

The very significant ozone layer is found in the stratosphere. The ozone layer aids in shielding us from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.

In actuality, the ozone layer filters out the majority of the UV rays the sun emits at us. Without this layer of defense, there would be no such thing as life as we know it.

Oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds, usually mentioned to as hydrocarbons, undergo chemical substance interactions that lead to ozone.

Both close to the earth and high in the atmosphere, this reaction is possible.

Therefore, The stratosphere contains the famed ozone layer.
