Cortisone is a steroid that is applied to the skin to reduce inflammation. Cortisone acts on cells within the dermis and can tra

vel through unbroken epidermis to reach cells in the dermis. If the epidermis is such a good barrier, how can cortisone easily travel through it?

Answer:

Cortisone is a steroid drug which is used to reduce the inflammation or swelling because it inhibits the release of those substance that cause inflammation and it also reduces the immune response.  

The cells in the body have cell membrane which is made up of phospholipid. Membrane absorb those substance easily which are lipid-soluble. So as cortisone is steroid hormone which is lipid-soluble therefore it easily diffuses through the cell membranes and reaches the cells within the dermis.  

Therefore the lipid solubility of cortisone allows it to travel through the epidermis of skin.

Why must you consume carbohydrates in the foods you eat? How does this relate to cellular respiration?
omeli [17]
The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose use to obtain energy (ATP) for the human cellular respiration by the steps glycolysis, acetyl CoA and kreb cycle. In glycolysis, ATP is use to generate greater ATP called the ATP debt. Fat (lipid) and protein (amino acid) also can give human energy call gluconeogenesis but only when critical condition only.

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.

Which phrases describe air pressure? Select three options.
9966 [12]
  • decreases as altitude increases
  • results from a column of air pushing on an area
  • decreases due to fewer air particles pushing down

Pressure is the force exerted, by a substance, per unit area.

Explanation:

Pressure is given by the formulae;

P = F/ A

Whereby;

P = pressure

F = Force

A = area

Remember that ..

F = Ma

Whereby;

F = Force

M = mass

a = acceleration

Therefore pressure can be given as;

P = Ma / A

The mass of the above column of a substance multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity = pressure exerted by the substance.
