Nerve

Damage to nerve and blood vessels can cause lack of feeling in the extremities resulting in amputations.


Nerves are cable-like bundle of axons and specialized cells (neurons) which make up the nervous system. Nerves transmit messages as electrical signals from one area of the body to another. Nerves are classified into three groups based on the area that messages are conducted. They include; afferent nerves, efferent nerves, and mixed nerves which contain both afferent and efferent axons.

Answer;

-Nerve

Damage to nerve and blood vessels can cause lack of feeling in the extremities resulting in amputations.

Explanation;

-Conditions such as High blood sugar levels caused by diabetes can damage the nerves and blood vessels in the body. That includes the ones in the feet and legs. If the nerves are damaged, one might not feel pain or other symptoms of ulcers or infections.

-Numbness in the feet due to diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage) can make people less aware of injuries and foot ulcers. These ulcers may fail to heal, which can in turn lead to serious infections.

The lactose (lac) operon in E. coli is an example of a repressed gene when lactose is not available in a cell. In 3-5 sentences
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Please find the detailed explanation of this statement below

Explanation:

Firstly, a repressed gene is a gene whose expression has been inhibited or repressed. The lac operon in E.coli bacteria is a regulatory unit containing structural genes, a single promoter and operator regions. The promoter is the region where the transcription enzyme (RNA polymerase) binds to in order to transcribe the genes in the lac operon. The structural genes in the lac operon can only be expressed in the presence of lactose sugar.

However, in the absence of lactose, LAC REPRESSOR, which is a transcription factor (protein), prevents the binding of RNA polymerase to the PROMOTER region by binding to the OPERATOR region of the lac operon. This inhibits the expression of the lactose genes in the operon.

Note that, the structural genes in the lac operon (lacZ, lacY, lacA) code for proteins that help break down lactose sugar for energy in the E.coli bacteria. Therefore, a bacteria cell with a repressed lac operon will be unable to degrade lactose sugar.

Earthworms have a(n) , birds have a(n) , and spiders have a(n) . Endo exo or hydroskeleton these choices are used for all three
dezoksy [38]
<span>The types of skeleton depend on where they are located. Earthworms have hydroskeleton because their rigid bodies are based on water pressure so it's hydro then. Endo is found in animals like birds and also humans who have it inside. Exo is found in spiders because they are bugs and bugs have their skeletons like a shell that covers them.</span>
