The nurse should assure the patient that black tongue is an expected side effect of taking that particular drug. The active ingredient in the drug contain bismuth. The tongue and the alimentary canal of humans contain trace amount of sulphur, when bismuth comes in contact with this sulphur, bismuth-sulphide will be formed. Bismuth-sulphide is an harmless by product, thus, the tongue discoloration observed in the patient is harmless.<span />

Select ALL of the following that are directly used to control fatty acid oxidation in cells.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The correct statements are A negative feed back regulation if free fatty acid accumulate C targeting the acetyl CoA transport shuttle in the mitochondrial membrane

Explanation:

The beta oxidation of fatty acid can be regulated by several following ways.

A The accumulation of free fatty acids exerts negative feedback during beta oxidation of fatty acids.As oxidation of fatty acids result in the breakdown of complex fatty acids in free fatty acids and acetyl CoA,the accumulation of free fatty acids lowers the rate of beta oxidation of fatty acid.

C The targeting of end  product of beta oxidation that is acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane also regulates the beta oxidation pathway.Because more the transport of acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane more will be the rate of fatty acid break down by beta oxidation.

Within an organism it is critical that signals between cells are very specific.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The ligand has only one receptor that it is able to bind to

Explanation:

The shape of the ligand and its corresponding receptor allow there to be specificity. For example, receptors for ligand A would be found on the target immune system cells and not on cardiac muscle cells or skin epithelial cells. Therfore, even though the cardiac muscle cells or the skin epithelial cells would be exposed to ligand A, they would not be able to bind to it and therefore could not react because of the specificity of the receptor of ligand A at that moment
