That is where the fibers of the optic nerve exit the eye extending into the brain. there are no rods and cones there as a result.

Answer:

The correct answers - there are no photo-receptor in this spot and therefore no image detection.

Explanation:

Blindspot is a small part or region of the visual field of eyes on the retina which is also known as the optic disk or optic nerve head. In this portion, there is no rods or cones present which is photoreceptors that detect the image in the retina.

Blindspot is the region where the nerve fiber moves out from the back of the eye. Blindspot term is called a blind spot as it does not detect any image in this spot or portion of the retina.

Thus, the correct answer is - there are no photo-receptor in this spot and therefore no image detection.

How does loseing laforin give you epilepsy ( please use lots of detail in the answer)
Deffense [45]
<span>Lafora disease is the most severe teenage-onset progressive epilepsy, a unique form of glycogenosis with perikaryal accumulation of an abnormal form of glycogen, and a neurodegenerative disorder exhibiting an unusual generalized organellar disintegration. The disease is caused by mutations of the EPM2A gene, which encodes two isoforms of the laforin protein tyrosine phosphatase, having alternate carboxyl termini, one localized in the cytoplasm (endoplasmic reticulum) and the other in the nucleus. To date, all documented disease mutations, including the knockout mouse model deletion, have been in the segment of the protein common to both isoforms. It is therefore not known whether dysfunction of the cytoplasmic, nuclear, or both isoforms leads to the disease. In the present work, we identify six novel mutations, one of which, c.950insT (Q319fs), is the first mutation specific to the cytoplasmic laforin isoform, implicating this isoform in disease pathogenesis. To confirm this mutation's deleterious effect on laforin, we studied the resultant protein's subcellular localization and function and show a drastic reduction in its phosphatase activity, despite maintenance of its location at the endoplasmic reticulum.

4. Which pathway represents the flow of electrons during photosynthesis? (1 point) A.) H2O &gt; Photosystem I &gt; Photosystem I
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

4. The correct pathway for the flow of electron during photosynthesis is mentioned in option D. H_{2}O > <em>NADP </em>> <em>Calvin cycle.</em>

  • Electron is first provided to the photo-system II by the phtolysis of water.
  • Then it is passed to photo-system I with the help of plastoquinone (PQ) and cytochrome b_{6}f.
  • Finally, electron from the photo-system II is used to reduce NADP to NADPH.
  • NADPH and ATP are used in light independent phase or Calvin cycle to synthesize carbohydrate from carbon dioxide.

5. The correct answer is B.) photosynthesis.

  • Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize glucose or carbohydrate from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • In light independent phase of photosynthesis, it requires ATP and NADPH  in order to synthesize food.
  • Lastly, oxidation or breaking down of glucose releases energy and photosynthesis is a anabolic process instead of catabolic one.
