Why does compact bone have canaliculi, but spongy bone does not?

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]2 years ago
4 0
Canaliculi are tiny canals in bone between osteocytes containing osteocyte cell processes. A spongy bone, also known as a cancellous bone, is a bone with latticelike appearance. A compact bone is a bone that is denser and has fewer spaces than cancellous bone. A compact bone has canaliculi but the spongy bone doesn't, because compact bone tissues form the outer layer of the bone while the cancellous bone tissues form the inner layer of the bone and it does not have osteons. Anosteon is a single central canal, with its contents, and the associated lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it.

What are the effects that enzymes can have on substrates
Burka [1]
In chemical reactions involving enzymes, the substrate proteins are huge molecules that will only react with each other if they're aligned just the right way. If they are permitted to interact with the enzymes present, the won't collide and react often enough for the reaction to do any good.The enzymes align the molecules, basically acting like "molecule shepherds," showing them the way they need to react.This speeds up the reaction greatly, making things like digestion possible. Hope this is helpful

Why did Barro Colorado Island (formed from a large hill during the flooding of the Panama Canal in 1914) have dozens of species
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

In the Barro Colorado Island, the mentioned local population of the butterfly species went on to become extinct mainly due to the fragmentation of habitats and the loss of habitats. The host plant on which the butterflies fed could not grow and they started to decline in number and slowly became extinct. Due to this the species of the butterfly also would have got extinct because of the lack of food.

What allows the action potential to return to a repolarized state?
FinnZ [79.3K]
There are choices for this question namely:

<span>a. K+ leaks into cells.
b. Voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated.
c. Voltage-gated K+ channels become inactivated.
d. Na+ reaches equilibrium across the neural membrane and stops leaking in.
e. Voltage-gated Na+ channels close.

The correct answer is "voltage-gated Na+ channels become inactivated". In the events concerning an action potential, the first event is a stimulus that depolarize the resting membrane potential up to the threshold. When the threshold is reached there will be opening of voltage gated Na+ channels wherein sodium can enter the cell and make the membrane more positive therefore called depolarization. After depolarization, voltage gated Na+ channels become inactivated and K+ leaks out of the cell making the cell less negative hence repolarization. After which, more and more K+ ions leaks out making the membrane more negative than the resting membrane potential hence hyperpolarization. When K+ channels are inactivated, the cell membrane will eventually go back to its resting membrane potential.</span>
