Of the 200 to 400 million sperm cells released in a typical ejaculation, approximately how many do you think will reach the ovum

Travka [436]3 years ago

Only 200 out of 2 000, 000 sperm cells reach the ovum. And only one (in exception to very rare cases of two) sperm cells actually participate in the process of fertilization. In comparison, an average female only produces 400 of egg cells during their lifetime, but the eggs cells are significantly larger than sperm cells.

When curare, a neuromuscular poison, is dropped onto an isolated muscle-nerve preparation in a laboratory, the muscle does not c
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Whenever the nerve terminal's action potential depolarizes, calcium enters the cell through the channels. Calcium allows acetylcholine (ACh) to be released more easily.  These ACh molecules subsequently circulate into the synaptic cleft and attach to the motor end-plate of the nicotinic cholinergic receptors. Acetylcholine molecules connect to nicotine ion-channel receptors present on cell membrane the of muscle cells, enabling the ion channels to open. Calcium ions then enter the muscle cell, kicking off a series of events that eventually result in muscular contraction.

Curare is a kind of neuromuscular relaxant blocker that is non-depolarized in nature. Nondepolarizing muscle relaxants work as competitive agonists, binding to ACh receptors but failing to activate ion channels. As a result, they inhibit ACh from bonding, preventing the development of endplate potentials and inducing muscle paralysis.

Potassium has an atomic number of 19. What is its electron configuration?
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

shells 1, 2 and 3 are full and shell 4 has one electron

Explanation:

The distribution fo the electrons possessed by an atom in the shells surrounding it is termed as its electronic configuration.

According to the rules of writing the electronic configuration:

1. The first shell can be occupied by a maximum of two electrons.

2. the subsequent shells can be occupied by a maximum of 8 electrons.

3. the subsequent shells are filled only once the lower shells have been filled.

Based on these rules, the electronic configuration of potassium should be 2, 8, 8, 1. (2+8+8+1 = 19).

Thus, we can see that the first three shells are filled, and the last one has one electron left.

Which describes the basic structure of a fatty acid?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
