Answer:
- <u>Eukaryotes</u> are organisms that contain more than one cell with membrane-bound organelles and a nucleus.
- Organisms that contain only one cell and do not contain a nucleus or membrane-bound organelles are known as <u>prokaryotes</u>.
Explanation:
According to their structural and functional complexity, organisms can be classified into eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
- <em><u>Eukaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are formed by cells that have a true nucleus -where DNA is located- and specialized structures called organelles, with a system of endomembranes that compartmentalize the intracellular space. These organisms are usually pluricellular, given the ability of eukaryotic cells to group together to form tissues.
</em>
- <em><u>Prokaryotic organisms</u></em><em> are single cells, lacking a nucleus - genetic material is scattered in the cytoplasm - and do not possess organelles. The prokaryotic cells that form these organisms are incapable of binding together, so they do not form tissues.</em>
Some unicellular organisms are prokaryotic cells, like some parasitic microorganisms, such as amoebas.
Complete question:
The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.
Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.
Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.
K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.
Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.
Chondromalacia is the synonymous of the cartilage softening (chondro = cartilage, malacia = soft). It's a pathology of softening affecting the joints and more particularly those of the knee (kneecap and femur).
This anomaly can be observed in several circumstances:
• the first is that of direct trauma. It is the cartilaginous lesion occurring before the fracture (fissure) of the cartilage.
• the second is that of common osteoarthritis. It is highly likely that the first stage of osteoarthritis begins with edema (swelling of the cartilage or closed chondropathy) that makes the cartilage less resistant and more vulnerable; this soft cartilage can then crack on its surface (open chondropathy) and these cracks will be more difficult to heal.
Answer:
the cell wall
Explanation:
cell membrane is not rough and it doesn't support or protect the cell.
cytoplasm is the inner environment of the cell that includes organelles and nutritions. it's not rough and doesn't support or protect the cell.
Answer:
advantages of sexual reproduction:
it produces variation in the offspring
the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage
a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population
disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
time and energy are needed to find a mate
it is not possible for an isolated individual
advantages of asexual reproduction
the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable
only one parent is needed
it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate
Disadvantages of asexual reproduction
it does not lead to variation in a population
the species may only be suited to one habitat
disease may affect all the individuals in a population
