An action potential releases neurotransmitter from a neuron by opening which channels?
Answer:
Calcium channels.
Explanation:
The arrival of action potential at the presynaptic neuron, cause the opening of Ca+ channels, at the presynpatic neuron membranes. This leads to influx of Ca+ . The latter caused the Acetycholine contained vesicles in the presynaptic neuron to migrate to the tip of the presynaptic neurons, and fused with the neuronal membrane to empty their contents into the synaptic cleft.

Explanation:
Some scientists feel that dinosaurs became extinct when a cloud of dust and gas kept sunlight from penetrating the atmosphere for a long period of time. Based on what you now know about photosynthesis, is this a reasonable conclusion? Support your answer.
Answer:
Yes, it is a reasonable conclusion.
Explanation:
The long lasting gas that kept sunlight from penetrating the atmosphere was the key factor that promote a disturbance on the chain food. Without sunlight, plants could not produce their own energy, therefore they could not resist to this environment condition and die. That way, the herbivores could not feed and die as well. Also the carnivore could not survive because their supply of food of herbivores are not alive anymore. This scenario would promote a mass extinction of every dinosaur.
The LPS, or endotoxin, of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is slightly different from most Gram-negative organisms because of the absence of repeating O-antigens; hence, it is called LOS instead of LPS. How could LOS be a major virulence factor for Neisseria gonorrhoeae
Answer:
Neisseria gonorrhoeae the human pathogen that causes the sexually transmitted disease (STD) gonorrhea and is commonly transmitted by exchanging needles through the use of medications or by infected blood products.
LOS is a major virulence factor in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, since LOS causes autolysis during infection and the release of LOS endotoxin damages the host cells is the main cause of most gonorrhoea symptoms including greater frequency or urgency of urination, swelling or redness at the opening of the penis, and swelling or pain in the testicles..

Why are biotechnology companies eager to design genetically modified organisms to express therapeutic proteins, particularly ones that would otherwise have to be isolated from blood products (e.g., human antithrombin) or animal organs (e.g., insulin, originally isolated from pig pancreas)?
Answer:
This is because of reasons of-
safety,
cost-effectiveness and
difficulty in accessibility of needed protein
Explanation:
In order to reduce cost of production for maximal profit, bio.companies usually design their production of therapeutic proteins in possible cost -effective way.This is to ensure maximal yields from production sales. Therefore maximum cost effectiveness is achieved through GMO rather through isolation from blood products or other sources which are expensive and capital intensive to get
In addition safety concerns during production is of ultimost importance to theses companies.Therefore when using of protein from different sources high safety measures are needed to be put in place to achieve best results. whereas GMO comes with little risks.
These companies experiences difficulty in collecting required amount of low abundant protein needed for the synthesis of therapeutic proteins, thus they will rather prefer the design of GMO for abundant supply.

Which of the following statements is false ?
A. Spermatozoa can generally be found in the vagina of a living female three days after sexual intercourse.
B. Semen is unequivocally identified by the presence of spermatozoa.
C. Semen will contain the enzyme p30.
D. The likelihood of finding seminal acid phosphatase in vaginal swabs decreases with time.
Answer:
Option A, Spermatozoa can generally be found in the vagina of a living female after three days
Explanation:
The average life of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract after ejaculation determines the fertility. Sperm survive for a longer period of time after it reaches the cervix. A spermatozoon (motile sperm) survives for nearly 2.5 hours in the vagina and 48 hours in the oviduct.
However, spermatozoa irrespective of its motility or viability can be found after coital ejaculation in the cervix and vagina even after 12 and 9 days respectively.
Hence, option A is the correct choice of answer

A) "We should give this drug before he eats anything."
B) "We need to keep a close eye for possible infection."
C) "The drug should not be stopped suddenly."
D) "He might gain some weight with this drug."
Answer:
The preferable option will be - A.
A. "We should give this drug before he eats anything."
Explanation:
Prednisone can be used for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy disease. Prednisone is a corticosteroid and can cause gastric upset, for that the medicine should be given with food to reduce this risk. The drug has some side effects such as weight gain, osteoporosis, and mood changes. The drug may also cause some infections, so the parents need to monitor the child closely for any changes. Treatment should not be stopped abruptly due to the risk of acute adrenal insufficiency.The ovarian cycle describes the monthly events of a post-pubescent ovary that causes a small number of primary follicles to grow, mature, and ovulate each month. what is the order of the events in one ovarian cycle? drag and drop the events below in the proper sequence.
Answer:
The ovarian cycle regulates endocrine tissue preparation, and egg release in female body.
The first half of the ovarian cycle as the follicular process. Slowly growing rates of FSH and LH are causing follicle development on the ovary surface. This cycle makes the egg primed for ovulation. As the follicles develop they start releasing estrogens and low progesterone levels. Progesterone locks the endometrium in order to help ensure pregnancy. It takes about seven days to travel ovum through the Fallopian tube and to get implanted in uterus. There are 30-60 cells at this point of evolution, called the morula. If there is no pregnancy implantation the lining would be sloughed off. estrogen levels increase after around 5 days, and the menstrual cycle enters the proliferative process. The endometrium starts to regrow, replacing the weakening blood vessels and glands at the end of the last cycle.

Which of the following statements about bryozoans (ectoprocts) is correct? a. Adult bryozoans are sessile, but their larvae make up much of marine plankton. b. Bryozoans are colonial, build reefs, and are related to corals. c. Bryozoans build reefs and have lophophores that extend through a hard exoskeleton. d. Bryozoans are colonial and live amongst mosses.
Answer:
c. Bryozoans build reefs and have lophophores that extend through a hard exoskeleton.
Explanation:
Bryozoans are sessile and colonial, typically settling on hard substrate including sand grains, rocks, and shells, as well as on blades of kelp or other algae, although some species settle on softer sediment.
The correct statement about bryozoans (ectoprocts) is b. Bryozoans are colonial, build reefs, and are related to corals.
To determine the correct statement, let's analyze each option:
a. Adult bryozoans are sessile, but their larvae make up much of marine plankton.
- This statement is true. Bryozoans, also known as ectoprocts, are primarily marine and freshwater sedentary (sessile) animals. Their larvae are indeed planktonic, meaning they drift in the water column as part of the plankton. However, this statement alone does not fully characterize bryozoans.
b. Bryozoans are colonial, build reefs, and are related to corals.
- This statement is correct. Bryozoans are colonial organisms, meaning they live in groups of interconnected individuals. Some species of bryozoans do contribute to reef formation, although they are not the primary reef-builders in modern oceans (that role is primarily filled by corals). Bryozoans are distantly related to corals as both are members of the phylum Lophotrochozoa, but they belong to different classes
c. Bryozoans build reefs and have lophophores that extend through a hard exoskeleton.
- This statement is partially true. While bryozoans do have lophophores (a crown of tentacles surrounding the mouth, used for filter feeding), these structures do not extend through a hard exoskeleton. The lophophore is typically withdrawn into a protective skeletal structure called a zooecium when not feeding. While some bryozoans contribute to reef structures, they do not build reefs in the same way that corals do.
d. Bryozoans are colonial and live amongst mosses.
- This statement is misleading. While the name ""bryozoan"" means ""moss animal,"" this is a historical misnomer. Bryozoans do not live amongst mosses; they are aquatic animals and the ""moss"" in their name likely refers to their colonial, branching appearance that might superficially resemble moss.
Given the information above, option b is the most accurate statement regarding bryozoans. They are indeed colonial, some species contribute to reef structures, and they are related to corals within the Lophotrochozoa phylum.
Sides of the retina are referred to either as nasal or temporal. Nasal is ______ where temporal is ______ A. closest to the forehead; closest to the chin B. closest to the nose; closest to the temples C. closest to the temples; closest to the nose D. closest to the left; closest to the right Reset Selection
Answer: The correct answer to the question is option B
Closest to the Nose; Closest to the temples.
Sides of the retina are referred to as either as nasal or temporal.
Masai is closest to the NOSE while temporal is closest to the TEMPLES.
Explanation: The retina is the innermost layer of the eye,it is made of nerve fibers that transmit impulses to the visual centre in the brain via the optic nerve and the macula lutea which contains light sensitive cells.
The retina is divided into the Nasal retina and the temporal retina.
The nasal retina is the part of the retina that is nearest to the nose.
It is from this nasal side of the retina that the nerve fibers that are going to the opposite side of the cerebrum are projected after they desiccate in the optic chiasma.( X-shaped structure they is formed as a result of crossing if optic nerves in the brain)(crossing over)
Just like the nasal retina,the temporal retina is the part of the retina that is nearest to the temples and it is from this side of the retina that nerve fibres that are going to the same side if the cerebrum are projected after they pass through the optic chiasma. X-shaped structure they is formed as a result of crossing if optic nerves in the brain)(crossing over)
The nasal side of the retina refers to the part closest to the nose, while the temporal side refers to the part closest to the temples (sides of the head). Thus, the correct answer to the question is option Nasal is closest to the nose; Temporal is closest to the temples'.
Explanation:The terms 'nasal' and 'temporal' when referring to the retina indicate their relative positions within the eye. The nasal side of the retina is the part closer to the nose, whereas the temporal side is closer to the temples, that is, the sides of the head. This can be remembered because the term 'nasal' is related to the nose and 'temporal' is related to the temples. Therefore, in the provided options, the correct choice would be B. 'Nasal is closest to the nose; Temporal is closest to the temples'.

A mutation takes place in a protein-coding gene that changes one codon resulting in a single amino acid replacement. Which type of replacement is least likely to result in a disruption of protein structure and function?
a) a hydrophobic amino acid to a hydrophilic amino acid
b) a polar amino acid to a hydrophobic amino acid
c) an acidic amino acid to a basic amino acid
d) a hydrophilic amino acid to a hydrophobic amino acid
e) a polar amino acid to a polar amino acid
Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
The least likely replacement is a polar amino acid to a polar amino acid ( e )
when a mutation takes place in a protein coding gene that changes a single codon ( replacement of an amino acid ) , the amino acid is either replaced with another amino acid with similar properties or it is replaced with an amino acid with different properties.
when a polar amino acid ( hydrophilic ) is replaced by non-polar amino acid ( hydrophobic ) the protein will loses its function ( i.e. the most effect is experienced ) but when a polar amino acid is replaced by another polar amino acid the protein will retain its function ( i.e. the least effect on the protein structure )
Hence the least likely replacement on the protein structure is the replacement of a polar amino acid to a polar amino acid

Answer:
transduction
Explanation:
Sensory transduction is the process by which our sensory systems convert stimulus energies into neural messages which are communicated to our nervous system. It can involve stimuli being compared with or integrated with other stimuli or memories of previous stimuli. Different systems perform sensory transduction, involving either sensory receptors or sensory nerve endings responding to the stimuli.
Explanation:The process by which our sensory systems convert stimulus energies into neural messages is called sensory transduction. This process is carried out by our senses, which convert different types of stimuli into chemical or electrical signals, which are then transmitted to our central or peripheral nervous system. This kind of sensory input involves stimuli being compared with or integrated with other stimuli or memories of previous stimuli.
Just as an example, consider a baseball player at bat. Seeing a baseball pitched does not automatically cause the batter to swing. The trajectory and speed of the ball, and other factors such as the count and the state of the game, are all stimuli that are communicated to the nervous system where they're integrated to generate the specific response - to swing or not swing.

Who were the main astronomers that named the constellations?
Answer:
In 150 A.D., the Greek scientist Ptolemy published a book, known by its Arabic name, The Almagest, which contained a summary of Greek astronomical knowledge, including a catalog of 1022 stars, with estimates of their brightness, arranged into 48 constellations.
Explanation:
The ancient Greeks and Romans named the constellations based on mythology and cultural beliefs. Astronomers like Giovanni Riccioli and Johann Bayer also contributed to naming features on the Moon and stars in constellations. The brightest stars have names derived from ancient languages.
Explanation:The main astronomers that named the constellations were the ancient Greeks and Romans. They grouped stars into patterns or constellations and gave them names based on mythology and cultural beliefs. The Greeks named sections of the sky in honor of characters in their mythology and then fit the star configurations to animals and people as best they could. The Romans also named the planets after their chief gods.
Later, astronomers like Giovanni Riccioli and Johann Bayer played a role in naming features on the Moon and stars in constellations. Riccioli named lunar craters after famous astronomers, while Bayer assigned Greek letters to the brightest stars in each constellation.
The brightest stars have names that have been passed down from ancient times, with some derived from Greek, Latin, and Arabic languages. Examples include Sirius, which means "the scorched one," and Vega, which means "swooping Eagle."

A biologist conducts an experiment designed to determine whether a particular type of molecule is transported into cells by simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport. He collects the following information: 1) The molecule is very small. 2) The molecule is polar. 3) The molecule can accumulate inside cells even when its concentration inside the cell initially is higher than it is outside the cell. 4) Cells use up more energy when the molecule is present in the environment around the cells than when it is not present. The biologist concludes that the molecule moves across cell membranes by facilitated diffusion. Do you agree with his conclusion?
Answer:
No, this is not a facilitated diffusion but an Active transport process.
Explanation:
This is an active transport process because -
The molecules are moving against the concentration gradient from higher concentration to lower concentration. It is using up energy. The energy is stored in the form of ATP. To move across the concentration gradient ATP is needed.So, we can say that the whole experiment undergoes the Active transport process.
Final answer:
No, the biologist's conclusion is incorrect; the described properties suggest that the molecule is transported across cell membranes by active transport, not facilitated diffusion.
Explanation:
The conclusion drawn by the biologist does not appear to be correct based on the information provided. When considering the information given:
The molecule is polar and small in size.It can accumulate inside cells even when its concentration inside the cell is higher than outside, suggesting movement against the concentration gradient.More energy is used by cells when the molecule is present, indicating an energy-requiring process.These observations are not consistent with facilitated diffusion which is a form of passive transport requiring no energy and occurs down a concentration gradient. Instead, the characteristics described fit active transport, where molecules move against a concentration gradient with the use of energy (ATP).What kind of plant life dominates the coniferous forest biome?

What may be the purpose and function of these structures?
Answer:
Viral glycoprotien play important role in virus entry to the cell and virus pathogenicity
They may help viruses avoid the host immune system. Glycoproteins on the surface of the envelope serve to identify and bind to receptor sites on the host's membrane.
Explanation:
Viral glycoproteins play important roles throughout the life cycle of coronaviruses. Viral glycoproteins interact with receptors on the host cell membrane and are required for penetration of the viral genome into cells by fusion of the viral envelope with the plasma membrane or endosomal membrane
The viral glycoproteins participate in assembly of virions, and the intracellular location of viral glycoproteins may determine the location of Coronavirus budding. Viral glycoproteins on the surface of infected cells may permit fusion with adjacent cells, and may make the cell susceptible to immune cytolysis or cell-mediated cytotoxicity, or permit hemadsorption. Epitopes of viral glycoproteins may be recognized by neutralizing, non-neutralizing or hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies. Thus, elucidation of the structure and functions of Coronavirus glycoproteins is of central importance in understanding the replicative cycle and pathogenesis of coronaviruses.
Final answer:
Glycoproteins in coronavirus membranes serve critical functions in the viral lifecycle, including attachment to host cells, penetration of the cell membrane, replication inside the cell, and release of new virions.
Explanation:
Coronaviruses may have glycoproteins in their membranes to facilitate attachment to host cells. These glycoproteins recognize and bind to viral receptors on the cell surface, allowing the virus to infect specific cell types. For instance, HIV makes use of the CD4 molecule on T lymphocytes. Glycoproteins serve not only for attachment but also play a role in the virus's ability to penetrate the cell membrane, inject its genome, and replicate within the host cell.
Spikes, such as those found on the influenza virus, are extensions of these glycoproteins that allow viruses to both attach and enter a host cell, or detach from it after replication. Known spikes like hemagglutinin (H) and neuraminidase (N) greatly influence the identification and characterization of influenza viruses, denoting specific strains responsible for historical pandemics.
Therefore, these glycoproteins and spikes are vital for the virus's lifecycle, ensuring successful attachment, penetration, replication, and ultimately the release of new virions to infect other cells.
