Cholera toxin locks the G-subunit into an active state, in that GTP is bound and cannot be hydrolyzed back to GDP to turn off the subunit. This leads to a subsequent activation and increase in adenylate cyclase inside the cell. This increases the level of cAMP which leads to cytolysis of the cell.

The cholera toxin is released from a bacteria known as <em>vibrio cholera</em><em>. </em>This bacteria is gram-negative and releases this toxin into the body which leads to manifestations like vomiting, increased heartbeat, watery diarrhea, cramps in the muscles and a low blood pressure. When this toxin is released into the body. The toxin  activates adenylate cyclase and increases its level. This in turn increases the level of cAMP. This initiates a signaling cascade which effects the osmotic pressure of the cell. This leads to subsequent cytolysis of the cell.

Which of the following are NOT energy reserves?
vladimir2022 [97]

The correct answer is C) carboxysomes

Carboxysomes are polyhedral inclusion bodies that contain enzyme ribulose- 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO). This is responsible for the fixation of carbon dioxide in cyanobacteria. Carboxysomes have evolved as a consequence of the increase in oxygen concentration in the ancient atmosphere.

Thus, <em>carboxysomes are not energy reserves</em>, unlike another offered answers.

What is the function of DNA and RNA
denpristay [2]

Answer: DNA codes for our genotype, which is the genetic representation of out traits. There are multiple kinds of RNA but it is mostly used to aid the replication of DNA.

Explanation: DNA is the strand of nucleic acid, sugars and phosphate group, that is found in the nucleus and mitochondria of every cell. It codes for our genotype, which is essentially the written representation of our traits. There are multiple kinds of RNA but they are mostly used to replicate DNA, they are single stranded as opposed to the double stranded DNA and include the nitrogen base uracil (U), instead of thymine (T). mRNA, tRNA and dsRNA are commonly used to replicate and regulate the DNA sequence.

<h2>Sympathetic </h2>

Explanation:

Sympathetic nervous system is a network of interconnected neurons that prepares the body to deal with the conditions of stress and fear

The sympathetic nervous system not only initiates responses required to deal with the stress condition but also makes necessary changes in the functioning of the body organs

Although the sympathetic system is activated in the conditions of stress but small sympathetic tone is always present in the body to regulate the vital functions

Sliva [168]

The correct answer is the peripheral nervous system.

In vertebrates, there are two main parts of the nervous system, that is, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system comprises of the spinal cord and the brain.

On the other hand, the peripheral nervous system comprises basically of nerves that are bounded bundles of axons or long fibers, which associate the central nervous system to each part of the body.

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Several conclusions can be drawn from this observation;

1. The adaptation for fur colour in the mice from both location was similar, this could be because both environments have almost similar conditions.

2. It is also an indication that the dark fur colour may have evolved independently in both populations.

3. Two completely different mutations in two separate genes can generate the same phenotype.
