Two students studying physiology taste a known "bitter" substance, and both report sensing bitterness. They then sample another

substance. Student A reports sensing both a bitter taste and a salty taste, but student B reports only a salty taste. What is the most logical explanation?(A) Student A had an allergic reaction to the food causing him to perceive the food as being bitter
(B) Student A has normal "bitter" taste buds; student B has defective "bitter" taste buds that result in lower sensitivity to bitterness
(C) Student A has a protein receptor capable of detecting a bitter molecule found in that substance, whereas student B lacks that particles protein receptor
(D) Student A has normal saliva, whereas student B's saliva is more alkaline than normal

Answer:

Student A has a protein receptor capable of detecting a bitter molecule found in that substance, whereas student B lacks that particles protein receptor

Explanation:

The sensory organs helps to respond to the change in the external and internal environment. The five main types of sense organs are eyes, ears, nose, skin and tongue.

Tongue contains different types of taste buds and taste receptors that helps to distinguish between the different types of food. The receptors are mainly responsible for the taste detection. The student B is unable to taste the bitter molecule because they lacks the receptor.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c)

Bone formation begins when ____________ secrete the initial semisolid organic form of bone matrix called ____________ .
butalik [34]

Answer:

a. osteoblasts

b. osteoid

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are the fundamental cell of bone tissue. They are the cells that synthesize the bone matrix called osteoid from which it is made from the skeleton of bone fish, to the skeleton of humans. Since the bone skeleton is an evolutionary paraphiletic characteristic (it is present in several taxonomic groups that have evolved from the same ancestor).

Osteoblasts are responsible for the development and growth of bones during the juvenile stage of individuals and are also responsible for maintaining adult bone and regenerating bone when it breaks.

Osteogenesis is the process of differentiation of osteoblasts. The cells from which osteoblasts differ are called osteoprogenitors. The differentiation of osteoprogenitor cells, which come from the mesoderm, periosteum or bone marrow, is induced by growth factors called bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), capable of inducing the growth of bone, cartilage or connective tissue. When an osteoprogenitor cell receives a BMP signal, it quickly begins to express the genes to generate collagen, osteonectin and alkaline phosphatase, among other compounds necessary for bone growth. When the bone grows, it ends up wrapping some of the osteoblasts and they lose their ability to replicate, at that time they are dedicated to bone maintenance and not to their synthesis and are called osteocytes.

3. What is another name or a sub-property of cohesion? Give an example of how this affects living
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Unity is the other name of cohesion.

Explanation:

The property of cohesion is to sticking together of something. The molecules of liquid stick together with the help of cohesion. This cohesion property  is very important for plants because with the help of this property, plants take water through roots from the soil and the water molecules are stick together with the help of cohesion. If cohesion is not present then the uptake of water can not be possible.

The nucleus has a system of _____ embedded within its outer membrane which allows communication between the nucleus interior and
Bumek [7]

Answer:

pores

Explanation:

The nucleus consists of "nuclear pores" on its outer membrane. Each of these are surrounded by <em>nuclear pore complex.</em> It allows the pore to <u>regulate the movement of molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.</u> It allows small particles to pass through such as ribosomal proteins. It prevents most large particles<em> (except for histone)</em> from passing through; thus, <u>it is selective in nature</u>. This function of the pores clearly shows that <em>it allows communication to occur between the nucleus interior and the cytoplasm.</em>
