"The neuronal cell bodies (which contain the cell’s nucleus and all organelles) that control movement in the tip of your toe are

located at the base of your spine and project very long processes (axons) down your leg before synapsing with the appropriate muscle way down in your toe. This means that the components of the synaptic vesicles, which are made in the neuronal cell body but must act on your toe muscle to affect contraction, must travel a very long distance to reach the neuromuscular synapse. If you analyze the composition of axons histologically, you will find parallel arrays of both intermediate filaments and microtubules. Which cytoskeletal elements, (intermediate filaments or microtubules), do you think are most important in the process of synaptic vesicle movement from the cell body to the tip of the axon? Why?"

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which cytoskeletal elements (intermediate filaments or microtubules), do you think are most important in the process of synaptic vesicle movement from the cell body to the tip of the axon? Why? Would be: 1. Microtubules are the more involved of the two types of components of the cytoskeleton on neuronal cells, basically because they are the ones responsible for the regulation of kinesins and their activities and kinesins (one of the types of motor proteins) are the ones that allow SV´s (synaptic vesicles) to move with their cargoes from the AIS (Axon initial segment), along the axon, powered by the action potential, towards the presynaptic terminal, where the cargo will be released through exocytosis.

2. What was mentioned before is the very reason why microtubules would be, of the two, and as far as research has been able to find, the more important of the two constituents of the cytoskeleton. It is important to mention that there is still debate on this, and still research being done because some results point to a more joint work between intermediate filaments and microtubules, depending on the function, location and type of the cargo that is being carried in the vesicles. However, as of now, it is still maintained that at least in transport of vesicles, and ensuring that these reach the axon terminal and can be sent to the motor plate for muscular response, the microtubules play the lead role.

What list is composed of substances widely used for many years without apparent ill effects?
balu736 [363]
The list that is composed of substances that are widely used for many years without apparent ill effects is the GRAS. GRAS is an abbreviation for generally recognized as safe; it is an American food and drug adminstration designation where chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and therefore, it is exempted from the usual federal food, drug, and cosmetic Act.

kari74 [83]

George Monbiot is spearheading the Rewilding Movement. The environmentalist and writer is prominent in the platform. He was featured in TED Talk and talked about a large scale conservation approach aiming to restore the lost habitats. Here is an excerpt of his speech where he discusses the lost megafuna:

"What megafauna, you say? Well, every continent had one, apart from Antarctica. When Trafalgar Square in London was excavated, the river gravels there were found to be stuffed with the bones of hippopotamus, rhinos, elephants, hyenas, lions. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, there were lions in Trafalgar Square long before Nelson's Column was built. All these species lived here in the last interglacial period, when temperatures were pretty similar to our own. It's not climate, largely, which has got rid of the world's megafaunas. It's pressure from the human population hunting and destroying their habitats which has done so."

Que hará un pez que tiene vejiga natatoria para sumergirse en aguas más profundas
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

La vejiga natatoria en un pez, se ve afectada por la presión hidrostatica del agua, generando presión y estrechamiento sobre esta, al disminuirse hace más fácil la inmersión, puesto que está vejiga contiene aire que tiene peso menor que el agua y hace flotar con más facilidad al pez, sin embargo cuando el pez sube, la vejiga aumentará su volumen y tendrá que nadar más para mantenerse más abajo en el agua
