All of the following options are examples of positive feedback EXCEPT:

a. increased strength and frequency of contractions as labor progresses

b.increased shivering and heat generation in response to cold temperatures

c. increased rate of fruit ripening in response to a gas released by nearby ripe fruit

d. increased platelet activation and recruitment to form a blood clot

All Of The Following Options Are Examples Of Positive Feedback EXCEPT:a. Increased Strength And Frequency

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option B

INCREASED SHIVERING AND HEAT GENERATION IN RESPONSE TO COLD TEMPERATURES.

Explanation: Homeostasis is maintained by the control systems that detect and respond to changes in the internal environment, this is achieved effectively by the detector,control centre and the effector.

This dynamic process allows for the constant readjustment of many physiological variables.

Nearly all are being controlled by negative feedback mechanisms, positive feedback is much less common but important example is;

increased platelet activation and recruitment to form a blood clot and control of uterine contraction during childbirth.

The body temperature is one of the physiological variable that is controlled by negative feedback mechanism.

When the body falls below the preset level (close to 37°C), This is detected by specialised temperature sensitive nerve endings in the hypothalamus of the brain,where the body's control centre is located,the centre then activates mechanisms that raise the body temperature (the effectors). these includes;

- Stimulation of skeletal muscles causing shivering.

- Narrowing of the blood vessels in the skin reducing the blood flow to,and heat loss from the peripheries.

- Behavioural changed example; we put in more clothes to curl up.

When the body temperature rises within the normal range again,the temperature sensitive nerve endings are no longer stimulated,there signal to the hypothalamus will stop, therefore,the shivering stops too and the blood flow to the peripheries return back to normal.

This clearly explains option B which is the the correct answer of a negative feedback mechanism.

A specific ligand is polar in nature. Where is the ligand-binding portion of the receptor most likely to be located?

Answers

Answer:

on the extracellular side of the cell membrane

Explanation:

Ligands can be defined as signaling molecules that interact with receptors localized on target cells. Protein ligands are generally polar and soluble in water. In consequence, they tend to bind with extracellular domain receptors localized on the cell surface, on the outside surface of the cell. Some examples of protein ligands include, among others, hormones (e.g., insulin), growth factors, neurotransmitters, etc.

While monosaccharides typically all have a molecular formula that is a multiple of CH20, they differ in factors such as the length of the carbon skeleton or the orientation of their atoms around asymmetric carbon atoms. What is the impact of this variation in molecular structure? 1.) Different monosaccharides will form disaccharides with the same properties. 2.) Cells will use more energy to metabolize a wider variety of polysaccharides. 3.) Molecules that all share the same bonding pattern but have different properties will be produced. 4.) Sugars with different properties that can build a wide variety of carbohydrates will result.

Answers

Answer:

Sugars with different properties that can build a wide variety of carbohydrates will result.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer.This is because the arrangement of the monosaccharides units though the linking of the monomers with the glycosidic bonds via condensation reaction  goes a long way to determine the orientation of the monosccharides and therefore the chemical properties  displays.

Therefore when monosaccharides are linked by glycosidic bonds  in different ways to form diasaccharidesa and polysacharrides,these macromolecueles  display different chemical properties and physical properties  from one another.

This is evident in cellulose((beta-glucose) whose 3-helix structure    strengthened the wall of green plants.This orientation ensures that the hydrogen of -OH group is attached to the Oxygen of the same  OH in the same molecule,or to that of another molecule.This formed hydrogen bond strong enough to form microfibrils which are held by fibres.

This is different from the structure of glycogen(from alpha 1,4 and 1,6-glycosidic bonds) despite the two been formed from monoscacharides. This is also evident in the structure of  starch  formed by alpha glucose

It is the orientation of the monomoers of the monosccharides in space that determines this different properties

Answer:  Types; Examples : Transport (Hemoglobin, albumin )

Structural, (Actin, tubulin, keratin ), and Hormones, (Insulin and thyroxine).

Explanation: Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers – specifically polypeptides – formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue indicating a repeating unit of a polymer.

There are seven types of proteins: antibodies, contractile proteins, enzymes, hormonal proteins, structural proteins, storage proteins, and transport proteins.

It is convenient to describe protein structure in terms of 4 different aspects of covalent structure and folding patterns. The different levels of protein structure are known as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. The primary structure is the sequence of amino acids that make up a polypeptide chain.

In 1918, the tsar (king) and tsarina (queen) of Russia and their five children were presumably assassinated and buried in an unmarked grave. Later, several women came forward and claimed that they were in fact Anastasia, one of the daughters whose bones had not been found. More recently, forensic scientists have extracted DNA, including mtDNA, from the skeletal remains of the tsar (father), tsarina (mother), and children. Which of the following samples of mtDNA would NOT be helpful in confirming that a woman is Anastasia?
a. the tsar and tsarina and living relatives of each of them.
b. each of the claimants or their living children.
c. the tsar, tsarina, and the other assassinated children.
d. the tsar and tsarina only.
e. the tsarina and the claimants.

Answers

The correct answer is B. Each of the claimants or their living children.

Explanation:

One of the basic principles in genetics establishes genes are passed from the parents to their offspring. Indeed, children receive 50% of genes from each parent. This implies the daughter of the tsar and tsarina will have share part of the DNA including mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) of her mother, father, and siblings.

According to this, to prove if someone is Anastasia or not, it is possible to use the mtDNA sample from the tsar, tsarina, or death children but not from the claimants. This is because the claimants are not confirmed relatives of the tsar or the tsarina, and therefore their DNA cannot be used to determine if a woman is the daughter of the tsar and tsarina. Indeed, a woman claiming to be Anastasia can share DNA with another claimant and this does not prove they are related to the tsar and tsarina or that the woman is the real Anastasia.

Which terms correctly identify the indicated structures in this sketch of a cell viewed under a microscope?

Drag and drop a term to match each label.

Answers

Answer:

A: The right answer is Vacuole

Vacuoles are organelles present in plant cells.  It is a large single structure, of variable shape according to the cells, delimited by a lipid membrane called tonoplast.

The vacuoles allow the storage of water, ions, sugars, ... and by magnifying, play an important role in the growth of the plant.

B: The right answer is Mitochondria

Mitochondria are organelles present in eukaryoptic cells. The mitochondrion is composed of a double membrane, the inner membrane being folded into mitochondrial ridges.

Mitochondria are the organelles that produce the energy of the cell. The mitochondria thus have a role of power station for the cell. They are the ones who perform cellular respiration.

C: The right answer is Cell membrane (the inside layer)

All cells (prokaryotic and eukaryotic) are separated from their environment by a palsmic membrane.

The plasma membrane is the line of demarcation between the cell and its environment (= envelope of the cell).

It determines what goes into the cell and what comes out of it. Like all biological membranes, the plasma membrane has a selective permeability, that is to say it is allowed to pass through certain substances more easily than others.

The plasma membrane consists of a double lipid layer in which proteins are inserted.

D: The right answer is Chloroplast

Chloroplasts are important organelles specific to plant cells. Chloroplasts appear green ... They contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures solar energy.

Choroplasts perform photosynthesis, that is, they absorb sunlight and use it for the manufacture (synthesis) of organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water.

E: The right answer is Lysosome

The lysosome is a small spherical structure (a vesicle) delimited by a lipid membrane located in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. The membrane contains ion channels (proton pumps) that allow the active entry of H + ions, in order to maintain an acid pH (between 3.5 and 5) within the lysosomal vesicle.

Lysosomes are organelles of eukaryotic cells that contain a mixture of digestive enzymes used to degrade macromolecules.

Lysosomes are considered the "stomach" of the cell.

F: The right answer is Endoplasmic reticulum

The endoplasmic reticulum are organelles of eukaryotes that extend throughout the cytoplasm (like a labyrinth). These are organelles that produce proteins and play a vital role in the development of the other membranes of the cell.

Which of the following performs the phosphorus cycle A) Autotrophs C) Carnivore B)Heterotrophs D) Herbivore

Answers

Answer:

The autotrophs are the ones that perform the phosphorus cycle.

Explanation:

A is correct because the autotrophs are the organisms that are able to consume the inorganic phosphates, use them, and release parts of them in the other spheres, thus contributing to the phosphorus cycle.

B is not correct because the heterotrophs are not organisms that can process inorganic matter and produce their own food, instead, they are dependent on the autotrophs to do that.

C is not correct because the carnivores are not able to consume and process inorganic phosphates, with their food sources being based around the primary and secondary consumers.

D is not correct because the herbivores use the producers (autotrophs) as their food source, and they are not able to process inorganic phosphates on their own.
