Answer:

B) receptor, integrating (control), effector organ

Explanation:

Homeostasis is tendency of an organism to maintain stable internal environment by responding to internal and external changes. It involves positive and negative feedback systems. Three main components  of the homeostatic control system are:

  • sensors (receptors) which detect the change and send information to the next component, center
  • control center (usually in brain) which receives the signal process it  and activate the next component, efffector
  • effectors (usually muscles and glands) which respond to stimuli (the change).

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
  • The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
  • These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
  • So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
  • So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>

Which statement about stomata is true?
spin [16.1K]
<span>The answer is B. The number of stomata is more on the lower surface of the leaf. Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomata. In the leaves, it is used in the photosynthesis and converted into oxygen and glucose. Since the energy of Sunlight is important for the photosynthesis, stomata must be opened during the day. So, to avoid direct Sunlight and thus cause leaves dehydration, the number of stomata is more on the lower surface of the leaf.</span>

Biologic agents differ from other injurious agents in that they are able to replicate and can continue to produce their injuriou
Nostrana [21]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Gram-negative bacilli cannot cause harm to the cell; only Gram-positive bacilli can harm the cell.

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

C. Gram-negative bacilli excrete elaborate exotoxins that interfere with cellular production of ATP.

D. Gram-negative bacilli enter the cell and disrupt its ability to replicate.

Answer:

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

Explanation:

Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic in nature due to the composition of their cell wall. Their cell wall contains an additional layer of a molecule called lipopolysaccharides or LPS.

The LPS layer is toxic in nature and is known as endotoxin and is involved in the pathogenicity of the bacteria as the toxin causes the injury to the Endothelial cell membrane of the host cell.  

When the bacteria cell is lysed and the LPS circulates in the blood, then LPS binds the receptors and acts on CD14. This attracts the neutrophils at the site and can cause vascular injury due to increased capillary permeability.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
