The progressive, destructive motor neuron disease results in muscular atrophy. aka Lou Gehrig's disease. The best treatment options are supportive treatment, Rilutek, and muscle relaxants.

<h3>What is Lou Gehrig’s disease?</h3>

Lou Gehrig’s disease or ALS, also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a degenerative neurological condition that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, impairing the ability to control one's muscles. After the baseball star who was found to have ALS, ALS is frequently referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. Five to ten percent of all ALS cases are familial, meaning the patient gets the illness from a parent. Typically, only one parent needs to have the disease-causing gene to have familial ALS. Familial ALS is thought to be caused by mutations in more than a dozen different genes.

Which path through the carbon cycle is possible? A plant atmosphere animal. B animal plant atmosphere. C plant animal atmosphere
ryzh [129]


The best answer is C - plant, animal, atmosphere.

During daylight hours, plants capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make carbohydrates which is stored as starch in the plant. Animals feed on the plants and extract the carbohydrates through their digestive system. The carbohydrates, namely glucose, are used by the animals for production of ATP through cellular respiration.

Cellar respiration in the animals produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, from where it is again captured by plants and the cycle is repeated.
