Unidirectional valves that prevent the blood from flowing backward are found in the

Biology
1 answer:
Allushta [10]4 years ago
3 0

The answer is veins.  These venous valves prevent the backflow of blood  in these vessels. This is because blood in the veins has lower pressure,  because it is flowing back to the heart, and therefore can be overcome by forces such as gravity and pull. The valves are similar in structure to semilunar valves of the heart.

What assumptions did Engelmann make in order to conclude that red and violet-blue light were more effective than green light in
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The distribution of chloroplasts in each algae cell was approximately the same.

The number of bacteria grouped at each wavelength (color) was approximately proportional to the amount of oxygen produced by this part of the algae.

Explanation:

Photosynthetic pigments absorb blue, red and green lights. The wavelength of light that is the most effective in driving photosynthesis is 420 nanometers, which corresponds to blue light.

The wavelength of 475nm and 650nm are most effective in driving photosynthesis.

Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.

A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a_________ and a ___________. A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a___
garri49 [273]

Answer:

myofibril bulbous end of axon and skeletal muscles fibres.

Explanation:o

It represents the  chemical synapse  of the axon bulbous ends  of the motor neuron ( motor end plate) and the skeletal Muscle fibres.

The influx of calcium ions into the bulbous ends leads to the fusion  and empty of the vesicles containing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.

The Neurotransmitters binds to the receptors on the muscles membrane to allow the transmission of action potential ( PSIP or  PSEP)across the synaptic gap  to the muscles fibers  to initiate  their  contraction or relaxation.
