Answer: Capillaries are tiny branched blood vessels that joins the arteries to the veins
Explanation:
Capillaries are found in the junctions between arteries and veins in the tissues.
They have the following functions:
- They have tiny walls and are tiny enough to penetrate to all parts of the body
- The thin walls help them diffuse oxygen, nutrients and waste products between cells and the blood.
Answer:
When the propagation of an infectious disease gets reduced, people stop getting their children or themselves getting vaccinated for the infectious disease.
But what we forget is somebody out there might be an asymptomatic carrier of the disease and can spread the disease. As a result, if many people are not vaccinated for the particular disease, then there might be an outbreak of the infectious disease again and it can be deadly.
Answer:
The reaction rate of the digestion helps in understanding which part of the digestive system having trouble in digestion especialy stomach and intenstine related.
It involves the fact that most of the enrgy or calories are get by the small intestine and also vitamins and minerals are absorbed by this part of the digestive system so if the small intestine is having problem the rate of digestion would be affected and and an individual could be malabosrbed.
If the problem lies in the stomach it might show some effects of a poor digestion, however the rate of digestion would be better than if the problem lies in the small intestine.
Answer:
thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
Under physiological conditions, peptide bond formation and degradation both require enzymes, but only formation requires coupling to GTP hydrolysis. Based on this information, peptide bonds under physiological conditions are:
A. both thermodynamically and kinetically stable.
B.thermodynamically unstable but kinetically stable.
C.thermodynamically stable but kinetically unstable.
D. both thermodynamically and kinetically unstable.
- The term thermodynamically unstable refers to the fact that the peptide bonds are prone to breakage under physiological conditions.
- The reason why one can conclude the thermodynamic instability of the peptide bonds under physiological condition is that there is a need for a source of energy i.e. GTP hydrolysis for the formation of the peptide bond.
- The fact that the breakage of peptide does not require any input of energy but the only formation does confirms the fact that under physiological conditions they are thermodynamically unstable.
- Even though they are thermodynamically unstable, they are kinetically stable because both the formation and degradation require enzymes.
- The function of enzymes is to decrease the activation energy and hence, increase the rate of reaction. This means that if the enzymes are absent the rate of breakage of peptide bonds would be really slow this points out to the fact that they are kinetically stable under physiological conditions.
Answer: Population distributions may be described as <em>random, uniform</em><em> or </em><em>clustered.</em>
Explanation:
In a specified region, a population comprises any number of members of the same species. Populations are described by sizes- the number of individuals; densities- individuals in a set space (per unit area); and distribution- the dispersal or non dispersal of individuals (spread out or clumped). Population distributions may be described in three ways:
- Random: the distribution pattern is haphazard, with no regular spacing; individuals grow independently of each other without competing and resources are consistent. <em>E.g. dandelion seed dispersal by wind </em>
- Uniform: individuals are evenly spaced in a predictable pattern; there may be some interaction and ideally, spaces between them are maximized in order to ensure access to limited nutrients and resources.<em> E.g. human farming- cornfields, orchards; allelopathy in plants like purple sage, which secretes chemicals to prevent the growth of other plants nearby</em>
- Clumped: there is less distance between neighboring organisms and these individuals cluster together. This pattern is most common in environments where resources are scarce, or the species is dependent on social interactions.<em> E.g. lions are highly social and hunt in prides in the wild</em>
