<span>It is acting as a local signaling agent. It allows for more platelets to be attracted to the damaged area, instead of having them sent all over the body. As a local signal, it is also acting on the behavior of nearby cells, which is seen by the vascular spasm that is being instigated at the site of the damage.</span>

Photosynthesis occurs when carbon dioxide, water and sunlight are combined. Plants use these to form glucose and oxygen.

A DNA sample contains 30% cytosine. What percentage of the sample would be thymine?
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

30% Thymine

Explanation:

If 30% of Adenine is present, it would be reasonable to assume that 30% of Thymine will be present, as the ratio between the two complementary nitrogenous bases will be roughly equal.

Therefore, that leaves us with 40% between Cytosine and Guanine. Since the ratio between them would be equal, it gives us 20% of Cytosine and 20% of Guanine.

<u>Therefore:</u>

30% of A + 30% of T + 20% of C + 20% of G = 100% DNA

Hi :) Hope this helps!

Bethanechol [Urecholine]

Bethanechol [Urecholine] is given orally for treating glaucoma. Direct-acting cholinergic drugs such as carbachol [Carboptic] are also used to treat increased intraocular pressure in conditions such as glaucoma and have positive effects when administered topically in the form of eye drops but are poorly absorbed when administered orally. Pilocarpine [Salagen, Pilocar] also has poor absorption capacity when administered orally for the treatment of intraocular pressure. However, it can be used orally for treating dry mouth (xerostomia). Drugs such as donepezil [Aricept] and galantamine [Razadyne] are indirect-acting drugs and are mostly used to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
