Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

Pentose phosphate pathway is the alternative pathway taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes parallel to the glycolysis.

The pentose phosphate pathway forms the electron carriers called NADPH and the ribose-5 phosphate.

The NADPH is formed in large amounts through this pathway which contains a very high amount of energy. NADPH can donate its hydride ions, therefore, it can be involved in the reaction where it can donate energy in the form of hydrogen and electron.

The NADPH is therefore involved in the formation of reducing biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and bile acid synthesis.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Triaging is the best example since a clinical decision making must be made as to who among all the patients must be given the most priority. A lot of factors can play in triaging which is why it requires a lot of clinical decision making.

The characteristic that makes the muscle cells unique is the relative abundance and organization of
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Options for the question have not been provided. They are as follows:

A. collagen fibers.

B. gelatinous mass.

C. actin and myosin fibers.

D. keratin fibers.

E. fibroblast cells.

Answer:

C. actin and myosin fibers.

Explanation:

Muscle cells or myocytes are unique because they have an abundant amount of actin and myosin fibers. These fibers are responsible for the contraction and relaxation of muscles. They are protein filaments, myosin is called thick filament and actin is called thin filament. Muscle cells not only have an abundant number of these fibers, but also they are organized properly in a fixed pattern. Each myosin is surrounded by actin and each actin is surrounded by myosin. They slide over each other in a fixed pattern to cause muscle contraction.
