Channel proteins which form a narrow passageway in the gap junctions are known as CONNEXONS.
Connexons are usually found at gap junctions, they form passage way which allow small molecules and ions to pas from cell to cell. Gap junctions are typically found in epithelial cells where the movement of ions facilitate coordinated functions. <span />

Alex is participating in a 50 meter dash. Predict the most important chemical process his muscles will rely on during this race.
natta225 [31]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option E

BOTH ANAEROBIC RESPIRATION AND CREATININE PHOSPHATE BREAKDOWN.

Explanation: 50 meter dash is a race,a form of exercise, energy is required as well as muscle contraction and chemical processes.

Alex muscles will rely on the following chemical processes during the race;anaerobic respiration and creatine phosphate breakdown.

These chemical processes are explained below;

Aerobic respiration uses oxygen to generate energy but unlike aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration breaks down glucose to provide energy and create adenosine triphosphate(ATP), lactic acid and ethanol.

Muscle contraction cannot take place without the supply of energy by ATP, molecules can store energy in it's phosphate form, this molecule is known as creatine phosphate,when this happens,ATP that is in excess will then transfer it's energy to creatine,this action will produce creatinine phosphate and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and they will now be stored as reserve of energy that can be used to produce more ATP and thus energy is produced.

A patient has taken levodopa [Dopar] for Parkinson's disease for 2 weeks but reports no improvement in the symptoms. Which respo
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Parkinson's diseases are a neural disorder which affects the movement of the human body. The disease is caused by the low production or no production of dopamine by the neurons which thus interfere with the impulse transfer and thus movement.

In the given question, the patient with Parkinson's disease is provided with levodopa but no improvement is observed therefore the prescriber must change the drug regimen, for example, the levodopa should be given in combination with carbidopa. These medications enter the blood-brain barrier and get converted to the dopamine.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
