The correct answer is B. The iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger.

Explanation

The iris is the name by which the colored part of the eye is known, it is located between the cornea and the lens. In the central part of the iris, there is a round opening known as the pupil. The relationship between these two parts of the eye is very important to sight because between them they control the amount of light that enters the eye. This occurs when the eye is exposed to a high amount of light, the iris muscles make the pupil smaller and the iris larger, limiting light entry into the eye. When the eye is exposed to low amounts of light or darkness, the iris becomes smaller and the pupil enlarges, allowing more light to enter. According to the above, the correct answer is B. the iris would get smaller, the pupil would get bigger. Because it describes the behavior of the iris and the pupil when going from a bright room to a dark room.

Which statements describe the genetic code? Check all that apply. A. It is a protein.B. It is a nucleic acid. C.It is found in D
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

B. It is a nucleic acid

F. It allows parents and their young to have similar characteristics.

Explanation:

The genetic material refers to the molecule which acts as the coding material of the organism as it contains the code of protein and thus controls the basic function of the life.

The genetic material of the organism belongs to a class of molecule called nucleic acid as they are found in the nucleus of the cell. There are two types of nucleic acids called DNA and RNA.

The genetic material gets passed from the parents to the offspring through reproduction therefore the offsprings develop the same character as of their parents.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

Please describe the signal transmission across a myoneural junction that allows the nervous system to move the muscles of a foot
Tems11 [23]

The contraction of the muscles (whether at the level of the arms or the legs) and more specifically the muscular fibers of the musculoskeletal system, that is to say organs, in the broad sense of the term, allowing the movement, is normally under the total dependence of the nerves which transmit a nervous command.

This command can be considered as a voluntary order (from the cerebral cortex). This nerve impulse then takes the direction of the spinal cord where it is directed by a series of nerves called relays to route the nerve impulse (order) to the muscles.

Then the nerve impulse propagates along the axon and when it reaches the motor plate it causes the release of a substance called neurotransmitter: acetylcholine. The neuroreceptor, in the motor plate, receives the nerve signal that the end of the axon transmits to it by a chemical mediator. Acetylcholine binds to the receptors, triggering a contraction of the muscle cell.

<em>More precisely, acetylcholine is enclosed in vesicles (a kind of tiny sphere-shaped grains) located within the nervous corpuscles located at the end of each neuron. When nerve impulses (stimulation) reach the presynaptic membrane, acetylcholine is released and diffuses into the synaptic cleft (about 50 nanometers wide) filling it. Acetylcholine will at this time bind very briefly to receptors located after the synapse (postsynaptic) and trigger the opening of sodium channels (followed by their closure and an opening of potassium channels). These channels are tiny tubules allowing the passage of ions (atom having lost or gained an electron). </em>

<em>This results in the propagation of an "electric charge" action potential at the origin of the passage of the nerve impulse, in other words of the order given by the brain or by the autonomic nervous system. </em>

<em> </em>

After this first step acetylcholine is then released and degraded by an enzyme called acetylcholinesterase (AChE) located in the synaptic cleft but also on the postsynaptic membrane. The choline thus released is then recaptured by the presynaptic bodies and reused for the synthesis of new acetylcholine molecules.

Acetylcholine is involved in the control of muscles via neuromuscular terminations and viscera or glands and sometimes both. This is how it intervenes to make also work for certain organs like the heart, the salivary glands, the sweat glands, the bladder, the bronchi, the eyes, intestine etc.

<em>A variety of enzymes called cholinesterases allow the rapid inactivation of acetylcholine. The chemical reaction that causes the contraction of the muscle fiber is a brief phenomenon. Indeed, acetylcholine is very rapidly degraded by cholinesterases. As a result, acetylcholine itself cannot be used in drug form. Nevertheless to circumvent these difficulties other drugs reproduce or prevent the effects of this neuromodulator. These are agonists or antagonists respectively. </em>

The muscular fiber is an elongated cell used in the composition of the muscle, which is a fleshy organ with the property of contracting and relaxing. Each muscle cell is surrounded by a membrane containing a cytoplasm called sarcoplasm with myofibrils which are elongate filaments parallel to the major axis of the cell.

(GIVING BRAINLIST) 5TH GRADE I NEED HELP ASAP. in the space provided, describe how the intestines, liver, stomach, and pancreas
umka21 [38]

Answer: Glands in your stomach lining make stomach acid and enzymes that break down food. Muscles of your stomach mix the food with these digestive juices. Your pancreas makes a digestive juice that has enzymes that break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, along with your liver that makes a digestive juice called bile, which helps digest fats and some vitamins. The pancreas delivers the digestive juice to the small intestine through small tubes called ducts. Bacteria in your small intestine make some of the enzymes you need to digest carbohydrates. It also absorbs water with other nutrients. Bacteria in your large intestine help break down remaining nutrients and make vitamin K NIH external link. Waste products of digestion, including parts of food that are still too large, become stool.

Explanation:

Mouth. The digestive process starts in your mouth when you chew. Your salivary glands make saliva, a digestive juice, which moistens food so it moves more easily through your esophagus into your stomach. Saliva also has an enzyme that begins to break down starches in your food.
