Answer: Dopamine

Explanation:

The level of the neurotransmitter named dopamine is decreased in the area of corpus striatum.

In case of this disease certain nerve cells in the brain die. There is a significant decrease in the level of the dopamine. It causes abnormal activity and the symptoms of Parkinson's disease is shown.

The symptoms are stiffness in the muscles of the body, abnormal postures, imbalanced reactions and the writings may be small.

All these symptoms of the Parkinson's disease which is caused due to the decreased level of the dopamine.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options-

A) Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

B) Acetylcholine

C) Dopamine

D) Serotonin

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Dopamine

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is one of the movement disorders which gets worse with time. The disease is caused due to the degeneration of the neurons in the brain which are responsible for the body movement.

Although many brain areas are affected the most common result is due to the loss of neurons in the substantia nigra in which the neurons produce a neurotransmitter called dopamine which is responsible for the body movements.

Thus, Dopamine is the correct answer.

Select the five major mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance. Check All That Apply
Rudik [331]

Answer:

All the given statements are correct except b.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) refers to the ability of a microorganism to grow in the presence of drug or a chemical that would normally limit its growth or kill it.

It makes it difficult for the existing drugs to eliminate the infection as they become less effective against the microbe.

There are five major mechanisms by which a microbe attains resistance against antimicrobial chemical or drug:

  1. Drug modification or inactivation: A microbial enzyme inactivates the antimicrobial agent. For example, few bacteria produce β-lactamases which provide multi-resistance against β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporin etc.
  2. Alteration or modification of target site: An altered target site prevents the antimicrobial agent from binding to its target. For example, alteration of penicillin binding protein (PBP) in Methicillin-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus </em>(MRSA).
  3. Alteration of metabolic pathway: The microbe uses an alternative pathway to circumvent the blocked pathway. For example, sulfonamides-resistant bacteria started using preformed folic acid in place of  para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA).
  4. Decreased drug accumulation: Microbial efflux pumps remove the antimicrobial agent (before it could do any damage) by pumping it out of the cell.
  5. Decrease in cell permeability: The permeability of the microbial envelope to the antimicrobial agent is decreased

How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to the movement of carbon dioxide​
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Diffusion transports oxygen molecules from the capillaries to the bodily cells. Carbon dioxide flows from the cells into the capillaries as oxygen moves from the capillaries to the cells. Carbon dioxide is transported back to the heart and then to the lungs via the bloodstream.
