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.

Answer:

Tofu and soy oil come from soy bean plants that are grown on farms. Many farmers grow soy beans as cash crops that they can send to places such as tofu processing plants. Soybean plants are legumes. Legumes have bacteria on nodules which are on the roots of the plant. The bacteria on the nodules takes nitrogen from the air and fixes it into the soil, so that other plants that require nitrogen can use it as well.

This nitrogen cycle that was breifly discussed above is used in what farmers call a crop rotation. Farmers use soybeans and other legumes in roatations with grass crops such as corn or wheat. Grass crops are unable to take their own nitrogen from the air so they either need the nitrogen in the soil that the legumes provide for them in a crop rotation or they need a chemical fertilizer containing nitrogen. Many farmers choose to use both. Most farmers use a two or four year rotation on their fields. In a two year rotation a farmer will alternate a year of a legume such as soybeans and a year of a grass crop such as corn. In a four year rotation a farmer will alternate back and forth between legumes and grass crops just as in a two year rotation, but instead he will use four differnt crops. For example, a farmer may plant a rotation of soybeans, corn, alfalfa (a legume), then wheat (a grass).

Answer: Water, Oxygen, and Carbon Dioxide

Explanation: The water travels to get to the root of the plant so it could help the plant grow. The oxygen travels through the somata so it could be a waste from the plant through the process of photosynthesis. The carbon dixoide travels in as an input for photosynthesis.
