The surface tension of the water.
This happens because the molecules collect on the top of the water more than at the bottom, letting some insects skim or walk across the top.

What would be the expected result if a competitive, nonhydrolyzable analog of ATP were applied to the cytoplasmic side of a plas
Gennadij [26K]

The cell interior would experience higher than normal Na⁺ concentrations and lower than normal K⁺ concentrations.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The membranes that contain high concentration of sodium potassium ATPase pumps are generally the excitable membranes. These are found in muscles and in neurons.

In normal scenario, the de polarised membrane has higher potassium concentration inside and higher sodium concentration outside it. Now as an impulse comes, the sodium channels open which creates sodium influx and then potassium channels open which let's potassium efflux. Then after the conduction of impulse is over, the membrane regains its de polarised state by the sodium potassium ATPase pumps which transfers three potassium outside the cell and two potassium inside the cell in exchange of an ATP.

Now if the ATP is non hydrolyzable, then the pump won't occur. This will lead to greater sodium inside the cell and greater potassium outside the cell but the change difference will be nil on both sides.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Mannitol is a drug that temporarily disrupts tight junctions. This drug is often added to medications that need to get into the extra-cellular fluid of the brain because it will make the capillaries of the <u>blood-brain barrier </u>more permeable to larger molecules.

Explanation:

The blood-brain barrier's components are endothelial cells, basement membrane, pericytes, and astrocyte endfeet. The gaps between endothelial cells are small. As a consequence, they form tight junctions that allow the passage of specific and small molecules. In this way, the barrier stops any pathogen from entering the brain. That is to say, that the blood-brain barrier is extremely selective; therefore, medications will not pass through it, so to allow the medicine to enter the brain extracellular fluid, the tight junctions of the endothelial tissue must be disrupted with mannitol.

A strand of dna that will pair with AATTCGTAATTGGCTAG
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

lol what?

Explanation:

A base pair is two chemical bases bonded to one another forming a "rung of the DNA ladder." The DNA molecule consists of two strands that wind around each other like a twisted ladder. Each strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases--adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), or thymine (T). The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases, with adenine forming a base pair with thymine, and cytosine forming a base pair with guanine.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A:    b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
  2. muscular strength:    d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
  3. Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers:   a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
  4. Muscle endurance:    c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time.
  5. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B:     e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Explanation:

Types of Skeletal Muscles:

Skeletal muscle are divided into two types:

  1. Slow Twitch (Type 1)
  2. Fast Twitch (Type 2)
  • Slow twitch muscles are the first ones to contract at times of exercise of strenuous physical activity. A compared to fast twitch muscle fibers, they contract slowly but can sustain contraction for a long time.
  • Fast twitch muscle fibers are divided into two subtypes: Type 2A and Type 2B.
  • Type 2A muscle fibers produce a high amount of force but they fatigue rapidly.
  • Type 2B muscle fibers, fire last, produce the most amount of force but wear out very rapidly.

Muscle Characteristics:

  • Muscle endurance is the muscle's ability to contract with force against a resistance for a prolonged time period.
  • Muscle strength is a measure of the amount of force a muscle can produce against resistance.
