<span>If there is not enough carbohydrate available in cells to allow the acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle, it will be used to make ketones. Acetyl-CoA is a molecule that is important in some biochemical reactions involving protein lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It function to transport an acetyl group to the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle for it to be oxidized for the production of energy. Ketone can be produced and is regulated from the acetyl-CoA. The rate of the production of this substance  would increase during starvation or in other words there is less carbohydrates that is available in the body.</span>

A small prokaryotic cell is approximately a rectangular prism with a width of 2uM, length of 4uM, and depth of 3 uM. What is the
masya89 [10]

Answer:

24μm³

Explanation:

According to this question, a cell, which is said to have the shape of a rectangular prism have the following dimensions:

Length = 4μm

Width = 2μm

Depth = 3μm

Since the cell has the shape of a rectangular prism, the formula for volume of rectangular prism, which is V = l × b × d

Volume of the cell = 4μm × 4

3μm × 2μm

= 24μm³

What are viruses considered to be non-living?
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Viruses are often considered non-living because outside of a living cell, they do not exhibit the characteristics of living organisms: they are basically like crystals. But within a living organism, they become activated and are able to carry out life's activities like replication (a form of reproduction).

What is the function of the nervous system? What is the basic unit of the nervous system?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Illustration of the architecture of a neuron, including the cell body, nucleus, dendrites, axon, myelin sheath, node of Ranvier, synapses, and axon terminal. ( the photo with the answer )  

The nervous system has two main parts:

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

The peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves that branch off from the spinal cord and extend to all parts of the body.

The nervous system transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs. In this way, the nervous system’s activity controls the ability to move, breathe, see, think, and more.

The basic unit of the nervous system is a nerve cell, or neuron. The human brain contains about 100 billion neurons. A neuron has a cell body, which includes the cell nucleus, and special extensions called axons and dendrites. Bundles of axons, called nerves, are found throughout the body. Axons and dendrites allow neurons to communicate, even across long distances.

Different types of neurons control or perform different activities. For instance, motor neurons transmit messages from the brain to the muscles to generate movement. Sensory neurons detect light, sound, odor, taste, pressure, and heat and send messages about those things to the brain. Other parts of the nervous system control involuntary processes. These include keeping a regular heartbeat, releasing hormones like adrenaline, opening the pupil in response to light, and regulating the digestive system.

When a neuron sends a message to another neuron, it sends an electrical signal down the length of its axon. At the end of the axon, the electrical signal changes to a chemical signal. The axon then releases the chemical signal with chemical messengers called neurotransmitters into the synapse     the space between the end of an axon and the tip of a dendrite from another neuron. The neurotransmitters move the signal through the synapse to the neighboring dendrite, which converts the chemical signal back into an electrical signal. The electrical signal then travels through the neuron and goes through the same conversion processes as it moves to neighboring neurons.

The nervous system also includes non-neuron cells, called glia . Glia perform many important functions that keep the nervous system working properly. For example, glia:

1-  Help support and hold neurons in place

2- Protect neurons

3- Create insulation called myelin, which helps move nerve impulses

4- Repair neurons and help restore neuron function

5- Trim out dead neurons

6- Regulate neurotransmitters

The brain is made up of many networks of communicating neurons and glia. These networks allow different parts of the brain to “talk” to each other and work together to control body functions, emotions, thinking, behavior, and other activities.
