1) carries food and oxygen to the different cells of the body; 2) carries body wastes away; 3) protects the body from diseases; and 4) serves as the body's defense system.
it is one of the transport systems of the human body that is composed of the heart, the blood and the blood vessels. Its functions include: 1) carries food and oxygen to the different cells of the body; 2) carries body wastes away; 3) protects the body from diseases; and 4) serves as the body's defense system.
If it killed the top level of an ecosystem it would damage the whole ecosystem because it's connected. An organism depends on that top organism which would mean that is that organism dies it would affect the organism that depends on it.
Answer/Explanation:
Onions are stem modifications of bulbs. Onions grow during a cold weather, but forms bulbs when the weather is warm. Onions can either be grown using seeds or through their bulbs. That is why, the stem modification of onions are bulbs. Tuber is from potatoes, whereas corm is from crocuses and gladioli.
Answer:
Produced by the choroid plexus -T.This is the major secretion site.It is also produced in smaller quantities in the interstitial compartment.
Blocks blood toxins from brain tissue-F, that is the job of the blood brain barrier(BBB).
Supplies oxygen to the brain tissue-T.This gas is dissolved in the CSF together with CO2 for distribution among nervous tissues by the CSF
Maintains the concentration of glycine surrounding the brain-T
Found in the ventricles of the heart and brain-False,it does not reach the heart ventricles.This are occupied by blood.
Prevents concussions-T
Produces antibodies in response to antigen exposure in the brain tissue-False.These are produced by the B-cells, not by in the CSF,based on the specif antigen stimulation.
Effectively decreases the brain's weight-T It reduces the weight of the brain.This is done by the buoyancy it provided for the brain.
Compared to levels in the blood plasma, the CSF is higher in glucose-F.This is wrong, the glucose of the blood plasma is higher.But equal sodium ion,more chloride in CSF, and less protein.It s levels is a relefection of blood glucose.Although it may lag 2-4hrs in the CSF.
It prevents concussion,(T)and and the contraction of cardiac muscles propels its movement(T).
Explanation:
Answer:
For both actin and microtubule polymerization, nucleotide hydrolysis is important for decreasing the binding strength between subunits on filaments.
Explanation:
Cytoskeletal filaments are common to eucaryotic cells and are impotartant to the spatial organization of cells. Intermediate filaments provide mechanical strength and resistance to shear stress. Microtubules determine the positions of membrane-enclosed organelles and direct intracellular transport. Actin filaments determine the shape of the cell's surface and are necessary for whole-cell locomotion. A large number of accessory proteins are present that link the filaments to other cell components, as well as to each other. Accessory proteins are essential for the assembly of the cytoskeletal filaments in particular locations, and it includes the motor proteins that either move organelles along the filaments or move the filaments themselves.
Actin filaments and microtubules are assembled with expenditure of energy i.e the ATP/GTP tightly bound to actin/tubulin is irreversibly hydrolyzed to ADP/GTP during the assembly process, and liberation of Pi in the medium occurs subsequent to the incorporation of subunits in the polymer. Pi release acts as a switch, causing the destabilization of protein-protein interactions in the polymer, therefore regulating the dynamics of these fibres. The progress is made in four areas: the chemistry of the NTPase reaction; the structure of the intermediates in nucleotide hydrolysis and the nature of the conformational switch; the regulation of parameters involved in dynamic instability of microtubules; and the possible involvement of nucleotide hydrolysis in the macroscopic organization of these polymers in highly concentrated solutions, compared with the simple case of a equilibrium polymers.
