Some people have low levels of calcium circulating in the blood, a condition known as hypocalcemia. while for many this disorder

has little to no effect, for some it can be life-threatening. how could low levels of calcium harm an individual? low levels of calcium would not have any effect on synaptic transmission. low levels of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between the pre- and postsynaptic cell. low levels of calcium would cause sustained depolarization of the presynaptic cell.

Answer:

low level of calcium would result in fewer signals sent between pre and post synaptic cells.

Explanation:

The calcium has a main role in signal transmission mechanism and here is the mechanism :

1-the impulse reaches the synapse (depolarization which is a voltage change).

2-the voltage gated calcium channels open and let calcium flow into the cell.

3-the calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to rupture and release chemical transmitters which cross the synaptic cleft and finally bind to receptors on the post synaptic cell (transmitting the signal)

so it's obvious that if calcium concentration decreases, the signal transmission also decreases.

Imagine that a mutation in DNA produces a protein with a slightly different amino acid sequence. how would this mutation affect
Lynna [10]

Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

  1. Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
  2. Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
  3. Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.

HELP! I’ll mark you brainly!!
Klio2033 [76]

Answer: 5.  glycolysis, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation

6.  If oxygen is not present, some organisms can undergo fermentation to continually produce ATP. Glycolysis, which is the first step in all types of cellular respiration is anaerobic and does not require oxygen.

7. Glycolysis is the process in which one glucose molecule is broken down to form two molecules of pyruvic acid
