8 0

Answer:

Motor neurons:

A. Function:

It relay messages coming from the brain or spinal cord to the muscles or organs.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long axons due to long distances the signals have to travel to the muscle its stimulating.

●It's myelinated, to assist the signal in travelling long distances as soon as possible.

Sensory neurons:

A. Function: its sensory receptors respond to stimuli by converting it into an electrical signal to the brain or spinal cord.

B. Structure:

●Presence of long dendrites / axons

● its myelinated

●since it's found in the middle of the neuron it forms ganglia that unites in the spinal cord and aid in involuntary reflexes.

Interneurons:

Structure:

● shorter than motor or sensory neurons

● has branches, a lot of branches consisting of axons and dendrites off the cell body to enable multiple simultaneous between neurons

● It's body is partially myelinated.

●occurs in large clusters of neurons to compensate for its partial myelination to speed up the signal

If a hypothetical cell contained 1% saline and 5% glucose, approximately what
liraira [26]

The hypothetical cell will approximately contain 94 percent (94%) of water.

  • If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution that contains more concentration of solutes (such as salt and glucose) than the cell, then it will shrink because water moves outside the cell.

  • If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution that contains more concentration of water than the cell, then the water will move inside the cell.

  • Finally, if a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, which contains the same concentration of solute and solvent as outside the cell, there will be no change in the cell and the solution.

  • In this case, the percentage of solutes is equal to 5% (glucose) + 1% (salt) = 6%, so the remmaining porcentage of water is equal to 94 percent (94%).

You have just delivered a premature baby. Your assessment reveals that he is breathing adequately; however, his heart rate is 90
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is letter B, keep him warm and ventilate with BVM.

Explanation:

In order to know more about the answer, let's check out the meaning of "Premature Baby" first.

Premature Baby- a baby born through premature birth <em>(fewer than 37 weeks).</em>  Babies are normally born at the usual <em>40 weeks.</em> Health problems may occur with premature babies, thus it is very important to monitor them.  

In the situation above, the premature baby's heart rate is only 90 beats/min. <em>A resting heart rate for a newborn infant is 130-150 beats per minute. </em>This means that the baby above has a slow heart rate. In order to increase the hear rate, it is important to keep the baby warm and to ventilate with a "Bag Valve Mask" (BVM). <u><em>An increase in internal temperature increases the heart rate. Increasing ventilation will also help increase the heart rate. </em></u>

<u><em>Remember: </em></u>Inhalation increases the heart rate.

On average, activated yeast cells divide once every 120 minutes; that is, each individual cell divides into two individual cells
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 4,960,000

Explanation:

If a yeast cell divides into two yeast cells in 120 minutes that means a yeast cell needs 2 hours to get double. So according to the question 2 hours ago a yeast colony consisted of 310,000 cells that means the present colony should have 620,000 cells.

So after six hours from now, this population will divide three times in six hours because the generation time of yeast cell is 2 hour and each time the number of cells will double.

Therefore, in first time the number will increase to 1,240,000(620000*2), the second time the number will increase to 2,480,000(1240000*2) and after final division, the number will be 4,960,000(2480000*2).

Therefore after 6 hours from now, the approximate number of yeast cells will be 4,960,000.
