The relationship between the lithosphere and the asthenosphere is that they both make up the earth's mantle. The asthenosphere lies right below the lithosphere.
Hope this helps!
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Answer:
Both have two circuits for circulation.
Explanation:
- The two circuits of circulations are known as the systemic circuit and the pulmonary circuit.
- In the<u> systemic circuit</u> oxygenated blood from the heart is pumped to all parts of the body through the blood vessels and then the blood is pumped back to he heart.
- In the<u> pulmonary circuit</u> deoxygenated blood from all parts of the body is pumped from the heart to the lungs to be oxygenated and after it is oxygenated it is pumped back to the heart.
Answer:
The Simplest of Eukaryotic Cells. Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that infect most other eukaryotic cells, although arthropods are the most commonly parasitized. They are the simplest and smallest eukaryotic cells and thus represent a textbook example of reductive evolution [1].
