It is true that telomerase activity declines with old age which explains why cells lose their ability to divide after many replications.

Telomeres are DNA–protein complexes found at the ends of each chromosome they contain repetitive sequences of DNA. Telomeres protect the genome from nucleic bases degradation, unnecessary recombination, repair, and prevent the fusion of chromosomes. Telomeres, therefore, play a vital role in preserving the information in our genome.

Telomeres shorten with every consecutive DNA replication cycle limiting the number of cell divisions a cell can undergo, Telomeres act as a tumor suppressor by halting the replication of cells which contains several mutations after many division cycles.

Which of the following situations does diffusion not help, in our bodies?A. Oxygen entering the bloodstream.B. Food entering the
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Glucose entering the intestines from the villus.This is by active transport.The latter is defined as the movement of molecules and  solutes from the region of lower concentration to the region of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

Explanation:

All the above options depends on the diffusion gradients from one  higher region to another.e.g oxygen passing from high concentration from outside to lower concentration in blood stream,like wise Co2 from higher concentration from inside to outside,with passive diffusion lipids and water enter the small intestine(note amino acid and glucose,and fructose are different).

Active transport( through sodium dependent transporter) transports glucose to the intestine  from the villus.This is movements against concentration gradient because,glucose molecule are concentrated in intestine,and needed by the cells, in the body.Therefore they must be transported as a fast rate inn the blood .

However the absorption by the villi is very slow,therefore active transport is needed to move these against the concentration gradient into the intestine.And finally the blood.

If this were to be moved by  passive diffusion,the high concentration in the intestine will force this back into the villi

Therefore extra energy is needed by active transport for the glucose molecules to enter the intestine from the villus.

During anaerobic respiration food molecules are _____________ oxidised, while during aerobic respiration they are ______________
monitta
Respiration using oxygen to break down food molecules is called aerobic respiration. 'Aero' means air, which contains oxygen, leading to the name aerobic respiration. Glucose is the molecule normally used for respiration - it is the main respiratory substrate. Glucose is oxidised to release its energy, which is then stored in ATP molecules.

The word equation for aerobic respiration is:

glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water (+ ATP made)

You need to be able to recognise the chemical formulas:

C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Urinary tract infections.

For some people, especially older adults, the only sign of illness might be microscopic blood in the urine. Kidney infections (pyelonephritis). These can occur when bacteria enter your kidneys from your bloodstream or move from your ureters to your kidney(s)

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The waste may be defined as any undesirable substance that left out after using the particular substance. The waste substance can be defined into two main classes - biodegradable and non biodegradable waste.

The one way to dispose out the waste product is the landfilles. The substance that cannot be degraded by any other means can be land filled. But this waste disposal method is not enough to contain the whole nation waste and all the waste cannot be land filled.

Thus, the correct answer is false.
