Option A. Increases and decreases of the heart rate result from changes in the activity of the <u>medulla oblongata</u>

What is medulla oblongata ?

  • Medulla oblongata, also called medulla, the lowest part of the brain and the lowest portion of the brainstem.
  • The medulla oblongata is connected by the pons to the midbrain and is continuous posteriorly with the spinal cord, with which it merges at the opening (foramen magnum) at the base of the skull.
  • The medulla oblongata plays a critical role in transmitting signals between the spinal cord and the higher parts of the brain and in controlling autonomic activities, such as heartbeat and respiration
  • The medulla is divided into two main parts: the ventral medulla (the frontal portion) and the dorsal medulla (the rear portion; also known as the tegmentum).
  • The ventral medulla contains a pair of triangular structures called pyramids, within which lie the pyramidal tracts.
  • The pyramidal tracts are made up of the corticospinal tract (running from the cerebral cortex to the spinal cord) and the corticobulbar tract (running from the motor cortex of the frontal lobe to the cranial nerves in the brainstem)

During the process of digestion, large food molecules are broken down into small components that can be absorbed into cells that
Alona [7]

1. During the process of digestion, large food molecules are broken down into small components that can be absorbed into cells that form the lining of the small intestine.  Digestion begins in mouth, where large food molecules are broken down mechanically (teeth) and then enzymatically (saliva). Proteases, lipases, amylases, maltases are enzymes that  catalyse the breakdown of macromelocules into the basic molecule units (such as aminoacids, fatty acids glucose) so that they can be absorbed.

2. Circular folds, villi, and microvilli--tiny projections from the surfaces of cells--increase the surface area for absorption.  Those structures can increase the surface area even 30 times. The microvilli also secrete the enzymes which help in the process of breakage. Motor proteins in the microvilli makes them move and this also helps in the process of absorption.

3. After moving into cells of the intestinal lining, fatty acids and glycerol are recombined into fats, coated with proteins, and transported into lymph vessels, which eventually empty into large veins.  These lymphatic vessels are called lacteals. Fatty acids are transported from the intestinal lumen to the enterocyte where they are packed into chylomicrons (combined with proteins). The chylomicrons pass into the lacteals in the form of chyle and finally transported to the bloodstream.

4. Sugars and amino acids pass from the intestinal epithelium and into blood capillaries.  This is a two-stage process:

•  from the lumen into intestinal epithelial cells via membrane transporters (Na-symporters)

• from the cells into the blood (capillaries)

This is possible because epithelial cells of the intestine are polarized, meaning that apical and basolateral ends are different (contain different transporters).

5. The nutrient-laden blood from the intestines is carried in hepatic portal vein the to the liver.  There is a whole system involved in the transport of  blood from parts of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver and it is called the portal venous system. The hepatic portal vein is a blood vessel part of that system that carries blood rich in nutrients extracted from digested contents.

6. The liver removes excess glucose from the blood and stores it as glycogen.  There are a few roles of the liver that are involved in the carbohydrate metabolism. The major is the production of glycogen from glucose via glycogenesis. There is also the opposite process, when the organism needs glucose, so it is released from the glycogen via the process glycogenolysis.

7. The liver also converts nutrients to other essential substances, such as plasma proteins, cholesterol, and fats. The liver is responsible for many synthesis processes (anabolic processes) such as synthesis of proteins (aminoacids), clotting factors, cholesterol, lypoproteins. It is involved in lipid metabolism: lipogenesis, and the production of triglycerides. One of the most important proteins synthesized in the liver are thrombopoietin which regulates the production of platelets by the bone marrow and insulin-like growth factor 1 which  plays an important role in childhood growth.

When did Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen
Travka [436]

<u>Answer:</u>

Cyanobacteria start producing pure oxygen around 200 million years ago.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Many scientists believed that Earth did not have any oxygen. Cyanobacteria or the blue green algae are the microbes which produced oxygen for the first time with the help of photosynthesis.  This was around 4.5 billion years ago: after Hadean eon.

They were very simple, but they produced oxygen in the early earth’s atmosphere. So, they brought evolution on earth. This “blue-green algae” exists in salt water, rocks and soils and play a major role in maintaining the ecosystem.
