Identify the correct statement(s) about glial cells and their functions. Select all that apply. Astrocytes participate in the fo

The correct statement about glial cells and their function is given below:

  • Astrocytes participate in the formation of the blood-brain barrier.

<h3>What do you mean by Glial cells?</h3>

Glial cells may be defined as any of the cells that hold nerve cells in place and help them.

Astrocytes may even form barriers to the spread of neurotransmitter substances released as synapses. It tends to participate in the composition of the blood-brain barrier.

Oligodendrocytes are responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers in the cells.

Schwann cells myelinate axons not dendrites in the PNS.

Therefore, it is well described above.

Which of the following locations would have the finest sedimentary particles?
Tamiku [17]
The correct answer is mouth of a river

That's where the river slows down and particles start sedimenting. When the sediment is huge, deltas are formed.

summary of 2 main parts of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions/Calvin Cycle). Be sure to e
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process taking place in the green plants which are involved in the formation of the glucose molecule using Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.

The process of photosynthesis takes place in two phases:

1. Light-dependent phase

2. Light independent phase

<u>Light-dependent phase </u>

Light-dependent phase takes place in the thylakoid membrane where the Photosystem I and II are present.

The photosystem II absorbs the sunlight of 680 nm wavelength which excites the electron of the chlorophyll. The electron moves in the photosystem and through the reaction center-exit the photosystem and enters the electron transport chain.

The electron is then transferred via the electron carriers like plastoquinone, cytochrome, and plastocyanin and is transferred to photosystem I which absorbs the light at 700 nm. From here the electron is taken by ferrodoxin and form NADH.

The electron then reaches the ATP synthase and forms the ATP molecules thus ATP and NADPH are formed in the reaction but the loss of electron in chlorophyll is fulfilled by the water molecule which on hydrolysis provides the electrons and stabilize the structure.

<u>  Light independent phase </u>

The phase during which the Rubisco enzyme binds with the carbon dioxide and forms 3-PGA. This 3 PGA is then reduced to G3P which requires the 6 ATP molecules. The G3P molecule then forms 1 molecule of glucose and the Rubp is again regenerated.

how does the random alignment of homologous chromosomes contribute to genetic variation in a population
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation, the raw material for evolution.

During metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are lined up at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated (assorted) in anaphase I.

The separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I is random. Daughter cells receive unique gene combinations from an original parent cell.

Subsequently, haploid cells got from two successive meiotic divisions fuse during fecundation to form a diploid (2n) zygote.

During prophase I, non-sister chromatids interchange genetic material by a process known as recombination. This genetic process also increases genetic variation in daughter cells.

In conclusion, the assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is random and generates genetic variation.
