Cladodes<span> (also called cladophylls or phylloclades) are shoot systems in which leaves do not develop; rather, the stems become flattened and assume the photosynthetic </span>functions<span> of the plant. In asparagus ( Asparagus officinalis; Asparagaceae), the scales found on the asparagus spears are the true leaves.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is: Clostridium Tetani.
Explanation:
Clostridium tetani is a Gram-positive bacteria found in soil.
<u>C. tetani may grow and generate </u><u>tetanospasmin</u><u>, a powerful toxin that interferes with </u><u>motor neurons</u><u>, producing </u><u>tetanus</u><u>, if introduced into a </u><u>wound</u>.
Tetanospasmin travels throughout the body via the lymphatic and bloodstream, where it is taken up by different sections of the nervous system. Tetanospasmin inhibits the release of the inhibitory neurotransmitters glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid at motor nerve terminals in the nervous system. <u>This blockage causes </u><u>extensive motor neuron activation and muscular spasming</u>. These muscle spasms usually start at the top of the body and work their way down, starting about 8 days after infection with lockjaw and progressing to spasms of the stomach muscles and extremities. The muscle spasms last several weeks.
Tetanus toxoid vaccinations, which are often given to children around the world, can inhibit the toxin's activity.
Answer:
In the first step of meiosis I, the chromosomes/genetic material of the cell condenses into a visible form, into a form called heterochromatin. The nucleolus also disappears.
In the second step, a process called synapsis occurs. This is when homologous chromosomes align themselves, gene by gene.
In the third step, crossing over occurs. Segments of corresponding DNA are cut and exchanged between non-sister chromatids of the formed tetrads.
In the fourth step, the nucleus fragments, the nuclear envelope fragments, the two centrosomes (if we're talking about an animal cell) separate from each other as their asters and mitotic spindles (mostly microtubules (kinetochore and non-kinetochore) lengthen. The microtubules extending from the centrosomes can now connect to chromosomes.
The answer is A cuz a food chain starts with solar energy
The action potential spreads through an axon by depolarizing adjacent membrane to threshold.
- K+ departs the cell after Na+, which enters the cell first. Ions can move freely across the axon membrane because of the difference during the action potential.
- Because sodium contains a positive charge, the neuron becomes more positive and depolarized. Potassium channels take longer to open. As soon as the cell does open, K+ rushes out, reversing the depolarization known as repolarization.
- Sodium channels close during the peak of the action potential when potassium leaves the cell. When potassium ions are effluxed, the membrane potential is lowered or the cell becomes hyperpolarized.
- Outside of the cell, the concentration of Na+ is greater than inside the cell. while the concentration of K+ is is greater inside the cell than outside.
