The integumentary system.

The integumentary system is the skin system where the epithelial cells function as the barrier between the external and internal part of the body.
<span>Further, there are at least three primary functions that are performed by the epithelial tissue.
Firstly it provides a great protective covering for all the tissues lying beneath it from radiation, toxins, physical trauma, desiccation and invasion of pathogens.
Secondly it helps to regulate the exchange of chemicals between the body cavity and the tissues that lie underneath the epithelial tissues.
It also helps in the secretion of the hormones in to the bloods. These are all major but primary functions of the epithelial tissues. From this we can easily understand the importance of the epithelial tissues.</span>

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The correct answer is e. the passage of electrons from one energy-generating carrier to another

Explanation:

The electron transport chain is a series of proteins and organic molecules found in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Electrons pass from one member of the transport chain to the next in a series of redox reactions. The energy released in these reactions is captured as a proton gradient, which in turn is used to form ATP in a process called chemosmosis.

These transport molecules, in the inner mitochondrial membrane, are reduced and oxidized, accepting electrons and transferring them to the next molecule, electrons descending from high energy levels to lower ones, that is, from one energy-generating carrier to another. When lowering to other levels, energy is released that will be used in the synthesis of ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.

It is a life-threatening condition characterized by severe clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. Extreme hyperthyroidism can lead to heart failure, a condition called throtoxicosis.Over-secretion of thyroxine is often due to the presence of plasma proteins that stimulate thyroid activity, i.e., defective enzymatic reactions.Thyroid storm can lead to osteoporosis, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Need help with the following questions

worty [1.4K]

MRNA: AUG AAU UUA GCG ACA
polypeptides: Met or start, Aan, Leu, Ala, Thr
1. The type of mutation that occurred in this strand of DNA is deletion. This may have happened because a small part of the DNA sequence was lost when broken ends were rejoined when the DNA was being repaired.
2. It is not likely that these mutated genes could produce a working protein because the polypeptides were completely changed, which would cause the protein to not work properly.
3. When a seed first absorbs water, it begins to grow. The mutation could cause the plant to be unable to absorb water. Therefore, the plant would be unable to germinate.
