Bell performed experiments to show that nerves of the body contain a mixture of sensory and motor fibers.

In his experiment he tested if the two spinal roots that originally originated from spinal nerve carry signals in opposite direction to each other just prior to their joining at the spinal cord. The dorsal roots generally joined the spinal cord from the back while the ventral roots joined the spinal cord from the front.

He experimented on animals by cutting the ventral roots and noticed muscular paralysis, later with more observation came to the conclusion that the ventral roots carry signals back to the muscles and are motor in nature. While the dorsal roots are sensory in nature thus the nerves in the body are a mixture of sensory and motor nerves.

5. The permease (transporter) allows glucose and Na into the cell requires ATP. True or False?

dem82 [27]

Answer: 5. False 6. False

Explanation: The permeases are membrane transport proteins, they're secondary active transporter that allow the movement of a specific molecule in or out of the cell in the direction of a concentration gradient, it is a form of facilitated diffusion and does not require energy. The permease secondary transporter uses the Na ion concentration to move glucose into the cell.

When the ion concentration gradient is set, the concentration of glucose in the cell is higher than the concentration of blood. Glucose will move to the blood by passive diffusion through permease secondary transporter.

The transport mechanism is carrier mediated it does not require energy.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer: e.Woman; there is not enough information to tell if the nondisjunction happened in meiosis I or II.

Explanation: There is not enough information to tell if the nondisjunction happened in meiosis I or II. Nondisjunction can occur during meiosis I and meiosis II, resulting in abnormal chromosomes number of gametes. The important difference between nondisjunction in meiosis 1 and Ii is that during meiosis 1, homologous chromosomes fail to separate while in meiosis II, sister chromatids fail to separate meaning it could have happened in meiosis I or II but we were not given.

Compare neap and spring tides. Give two comparisons in your answer.

Shtirlitz [24]

<span>Please remember that spring tides occur approximately twice a month, when the earth and moon and sun are about co-linear. That is about at full moon and about at new moon. Neap tides occur at half moons, when the moon is off to the side of the line between earth and sun. I hope this can help</span>
