The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
Functions of astrocytes include all of the following, except
A) performing repairs in damaged neural tissue.
B) guiding neuron development.
C) functioning in action potential transmission.
D) maintaining the blood-brain barrier.
E) creating a three-dimensional framework for the CNS.
Answer:
Functioning in action potential transmission.
Explanation:
Astrocytes may be defined as the glial type star shaped cells present in the central nervous system. They envelope the synapse and can function with millions of neuron at a time.
Astrocytes are involved in the structural support in the brain and can repair the damaged and wear nerves tissue. Their main function is acting as blood brain barrier. The action potential transmission is mainly done by neurons and not by the astrocytes cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
Answer:
Option E, C tactile (CT) afferent
Explanation:
Whenever a slow moving gentle touch experienced, the response is due to the nerve fibers called C-Tactile afferents (CTs).
C-Tactile afferents (CTs) are unmyelinated mechanoreceptors of low threshold and low conduction velocities.
In humans, CT neurons are found in hairy skin.
The pleasant feeling observed during a slow gentle touch is due to the interaction of
CT neurons project to the insular cortex in the brain
Hence, option E is correct
Answer:
Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol which is part of the cytoplasm of the cell. Glucose is rearranged and phosphorylated to form F-1,6BP(fructose 16 bisphosphate which is very unstable) its splits into 2 phosphorylated 3C sugars (DHAP and G3P)(can interconvert) both form G3P to enter 3rd phase, G3P converted into pyruvate creates 4 ATP in total but has a net of 2 ATP and creates NADH. The raw materials needed are two molecules of NAD+ per glucose as well as 2 ATPs. Hope this helps!
Explanation:
Answer:
I think it might be heart, lungs, blood, arteries, veins, and muscle cells
Explanation:
The correct sequence is:
a) Antibiotics: These antimicrobial drugs used to treat and prevent bacterial infections.
b) Antibiotic resistance: This sort of resistance occurs when bacteria are fully developed into the body and are able to defeat the drugs which designed to kill them. When certain bacteria become resistant, the antibiotics are unable to fight them, and hence they increase and affect the body.
c) Binary fission: Binary fission is a sort of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes such as bacteria. It is found in unicellular eukaryotes like Amoeba and Paramecium.
d) Conjugation: It is the transfer of genetic material between bacterial cells by the direct or bridge-like connection between cells.
e) Mutations: is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence resulting in a gene, such that the sequence differs from the sequence found in human beings.
f) DNA replication: is the biological process that occurs in all living organisms to produce two identical replicas of DNA from a DNA molecule.
g) Genetic recombination: During this process, offspring are produced with the combinations of traits that are different from the traits found in either parent.
h) Genetic variation: It’s the variation in the DNA sequence in each of human genomes, making every human being unique in terms of hair color, skin color or the shape of their faces.<span>
