<span>Ian Waterman was able to sense pain and temperature because his
spinothalamic pathway was intact, but could not feel touch and limb position because of damage to his
lemniscus pathway. </span>
The lateral spinothalamic tract is a sensory pathway which carries sensory information like pain and temperature to the brain, across the thalamus. Free nerve endings which are located in the peripheral tissues are sensitive to cell damage. Those are primary neurons and they pass the sensory signal. Primary neurons synapse with secondary which are located in the spinal cord (white matter). These secondary neurons will ascend through the brainstem, medulla oblongata, pons and midbrain, until synapsing in the ventroposteriorlateral (VPL) nucleus of the thalamus. From the thalamus, the information is sent to cortex (somatosensory cortex).
Posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway is ascending spinal tract, carrying sensory information to the brain (sensory pathway). It conducts localized sensations of fine touch, vibration and proprioception (position sense) from the skin and extremities (muscles) to the central nervous system (cerebral cortex).

This is just a guess as I need to answer at least one question
Answer:
NAD is a coenzyme found in all cells. It consists of two nucleotides linked through their phosphate groups with a nucleotide that contains an adenosine ring and another that contains nicotinamide.
Explanation:
In metabolism, NAD participates in oxidation reduction reactions. This coenzyme is found in two forms in the cells: NAD and NADH. NAD accepts electrons from other molecules and is reduced, forming NADH, which you can use as a reducing agent to donate electrons. These electron transfer reactions are the main function of the NAD.
In living organisms, NAD can be synthesized from scratch from the amino acids tryptophan or aspartic acid. Some NADs are found in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), whose chemistry is similar to NAD, although it has different functions in metabolism.
Answer:
C) 30,000
Explanation:
According to the given information, the bacterial mRNA consists of about 800 nucleotides. Three consecutive nucleotides together make one genetic codon which in turn codes for one specific amino acid in the protein encoded by this mRNA.
So, an mRNA with 800 nucleotides will have total 800/3 = 266.67 or 266 genetic codes. The protein encoded by this mRNA would have a total of 266 amino acids.
Given that one amino acid imparts 110 units to the molecular weight of the protein, the protein with 266 amino acids have the molecular weight= 266 x 110 = 29260, that is about 30,000.
