Q4.10. Marathon runners can lose a great deal of Na* (through sweat). Some runners

Biology
1 answer:
geniusboy [140]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically  Na+ is an extracellular ions, while K+ is intracellular. Therefore the influx of Na+ produce depolarization and excitability of a neuron, while  K- ions outflow  from the axoplasm ensures re-polarization to return neuron to its resting state.

Therefore an Athletes , loosing a lot of Na+, and drinking water  experiences  hyponatremia. Therefore the neuron  in this case experiences low Na+ concentration , with reduction in solute potential of the axoplasm, , with consequent  high water potential.

Therefore the neuron swells up with water, and difficult to depolarize to propagate action potential.This leads to loss of sensory  control in the athletes, leading to confusion.

How is the concept of homeostasis related to disease and aging provide examples?
Alinara [238K]

Answer;

-Because of Homeostatic imbalance as we age our body organs become less efficient, and our internal conditions become less and less stable. This event has a risk for illness and produce changes we associate with aging.

Explanation;

-Homeostasis is the body's ability to maintain a relatively stable internal environment even though the outside world is constantly changing. It involves both positive feedback Loops and the negative Feedback loops.

-Aging is a general example of disease as a result of homeostatic imbalance. As an organism ages, weakening of feedback loops gradually results in an unstable internal environment. This lack of homeostasis increases the risk for illness and is responsible for the physical changes associated with aging.

What happens in the mitochrondria
NNADVOKAT [17]
Mitochondria is described as the power house of the cell, because it is the cell organelle that process the production of ATP, which is the energy source of the cell. Kreb's cycle occurs in the mitochondria, it is the process by which energy is generated inside the cell, leading to the production of ATP and carbon dioxide and water are given up as waste products.

What evidence have you discovered to explain how Mendel’s experiments showed that traits in offspring are inherited?
Leto [7]

Answer:PLZ MARK ME THE BRANISET

By examining large sample sizes, Mendel showed that his crosses behaved reproducibly according to the laws of probability, and that the traits were inherited as independent events. Two rules in probability can be used to find the expected proportions of offspring of different traits from different crosses.

To find the probability of two or more independent events occurring together, apply the product rule and multiply the probabilities of the individual events. The use of the word “and” suggests the appropriate application of the product rule. To find the probability of two or more events occurring in combination, apply the sum rule and add their individual probabilities together. The use of the word “or” suggests the appropriate application of the sum rule.
