Answer:

Lysozyme in the body fluid protects us from bacterial infection by damaging the cell wall of bacteria which ultimately kills the bacteria.

The bacterial cell wall is made up of NAG and NAM units which is joined by β (1-4) glycosidic bond. Lysozyme attacks on this bond and breaks it causing the damage in the cell wall of bacteria which leads to the death of bacteria.

Archaeal cell wall do not contain β (1-4) glycosidic linkage, it contains β(1-3) glycosidic linkage in its cell wall between NAT and NAG unit and lysozyme do not able to break β(1-3) glycosidic linkage between them so lysozyme do not cause any harm to the archaeal invaders.

What was the average of diameters (cm) for the Willapa Bay urchins sampled before the hunt? (Type just the number rounded to the

Otrada [13]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete as the diameters of the Willapa Bay urchins were not given.

However, I'll give a general way to solve this problem.

Average is calculated using:

$Average = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

i.e. Sum of all diameters divided by the number of bay urchins.

The diameter of urchins is usually between 6cm to 12cm; So, I will assume the following diameters for 10 urchins.

10cm, 8cm, 10cm, 7cm, 9cm, 10cm, 6cm, 10cm,8cm, 8cm

Using the above data, the average is:

$Average= \frac{10+8+10+7+9+10+6+10+8+8}{10}$

$Average= \frac{86}{10}$

$Average= 8.6$

What is one of the functions controlled by the cerebellum? A. balance B. digestion C. respiration D. memory

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

A. Balance

Explanation:

The cerebellum receives information from the sensory systems, the spinal cord, and other parts of the brain and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements such as posture, balance, coordination, and speech, resulting in smooth and balanced muscular activity. It is also important for learning motor behaviors.

KIM [24]

As blood pressure increases and the hearts is working harder the most vulnerable arteries area are those <u>Located near the heart, because they are absorbing the most shock.</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

When the heart pumps blood, the highest pressure is felt close to the heart. This is why the aorta, the artery that carries blood away from the heart is made up of thick walls to withstand this pressure, otherwise, these vessels would rupture. Away from the heart, this pressure lessens, and the blood vessels are not so thick-walled.
