Explain how tetanospasmin functions to cause disease.

Biology
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Tetanus Neurotoxin ( TeNT)binds to the presynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction is internalized and transported  retroaxonally to the spinal cord.The  spastic paralysis induced by the toxin is due to the blockade of neurotransmitter release from spinal inhibitory interneurons.

Explanation:

The muscular rigidity and spasms of tetanus are caused by tetanus toxin(tetanospasmin) which is produced by  Clostridium tetani, an anaerobic bacillus whose spores survive in soil and cause infection by contaminating wounds.

Tetanus Neurotoxin ( TeNT)binds to the presynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction is internalized and transported  retroaxonally to the spinal cord.The  spastic paralysis induced by the toxin is due to the blockade of neurotransmitter release from spinal inhibitory interneurons.

The tetanus shots is a safe and effective way to prevent tetanus and other dangeroud diseases occuring in most cases.

Will more air inside a basketball make it bounce higher?
marysya [2.9K]

The outcome variable, test variable, and controlled variable for each question is as follows:

  • outcome variable = bounce height; test variable = volume of air, and  controlled variable = basketball
  • outcome variable = cleaning property; =  test variable = type of cleaner, and  controlled variable = cloth
  • outcome variable = heat absorbed; test variable = fabric color, and  controlled variable = amount of sunshine
  • outcome variable =  plant size, test variable = seed size, and  controlled variable = sunlight
  • outcome variable = flower freshness, test variable = sugar added to water, and controlled variable = sunlight
  • outcome variable = adhesion of tape; test variable = differences surfaces, and controlled variable = paper
  • outcome variable =  volcano eruption, test variable =  ratio of vinegar to baking soda, and controlled variable = container or bottle

<h3>What are variables in an experiment?</h3>

A variable is any factor in an experiment that can be manipulated, controlled for, or measured.

There are three types of variables in an experiment:

  • Dependent variable or outcome variable
  • Independent variable or test variable,
  • Constant variable or controlled variable

The Dependent variable or outcome variable depends on changes in the independent variable.

An independent or test variable is the variable that stands alone and is not affected  by other factors in the experiment.

The constant or controlled variable is unchanged.

The outcome variable, test variable, and controlled variable for each question is as follows:

1. Will more air inside a basketball make it bounce higher?

  • outcome variable = bounce height;  test variable = volume of air, and  controlled variable = basketball

2. Do ''green'' cleaners clean as well as store bought cleaners?

  • outcome variable cleaning property; =  test variable = type of cleaner, and  controlled variable = cloth

3. Which colors of fabric absorbs most heat?

  • outcome variable = heat absorbed; test variable = fabric color, and  controlled variable = amount of sunshine

4. Do bigger seeds make bigger plants?

  • outcome variable =  plant size, test variable = seed size, and  controlled variable = sunlight

5. Does sugar added to water improve cut flower freshness?

  • outcome variable = flower freshness, test variable = sugar added to water, and controlled variable = sunlight

6. How do differences in surfaces affect the adhesion of tape?

  • outcome variable = adhesion of tape; test variable = differences surfaces, and controlled variable = paper

7. What ratio of vinegar to baking soda produces the best chemical volcano eruption?

  • outcome variable =  volcano eruption, test variable =  ratio of vinegar to baking soda, and controlled variable = container or bottle

In conclusion, changes done to the test variable results in changes in the outcome variable.

Katarina [22]

Answer:

The Pepsi he drinks at 10 pm

Explanation:

Pepsi is a caffeinated drink that has caffeine in it. Caffeine is a stimulant which means it keeps the body awake and alert. Caffeine works by mimicking adenosine. Adenosine is produced by neuron cells and when it binds to its own receptors (autocrine signaling) it triggers the neurons cells to continue firing. As the adenosine levels fall as the day progresses, the brain is signaled that it is time rest. Adenosine levels are at the lowest when its almost bedtime. However, when Jon takes Pepsi, the caffeine in it bind to the adenosine receptors and make the brain neurons to keep ‘firing’.
