Diseased animal cells may produce molecules that activate death cascades to kill the cells in a controlled manner. Why would nei

ghboring healthy cells also die?
The death molecule is passed through desmosomes.
The death molecule is passed through plasmodesmata.
The death molecule disrupts the extracellular matrix.
The death molecule passes through gap junctions.

Answer:

Option (4).

Explanation:

Cell communication involves various junctions like tight junctions and gap junctions. These junctions allows the communication of between cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix connection.

The diseased animal cells activate the death cascade that may also cause death of the neighbor cells. This occur because the death molecule may pass to the neighbor cells through the gap junctions.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

Masja [62]

Since the species is not reaching its maximum population, we can think that there is an inhibiting factor in the ecosystem. So if more organisms were to migrate within the population or if the birth rate were to increase, the population would not follow the trend in the image. If the resources of the ecosystem were limited, the population would increase, but then they would start to die due to lack of resources so the graph would have a gaussian bell distribution.

Therefore, the answer is D, since the maximum load of the ecosystem has been reached and although the organisms continue to reproduce, the population cannot increase but neither does it decrease since there are sufficient resources.

The pH is a measure of the concentration of the hydrogen ion (H+) in water. Highly acidic water has a very high H+ concentration
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The hydrogen ion concentration of the following pH samples is as follows:

  • 7 (a neutral solution) = 0.845
  • 5.6 (unpolluted rainwater) = 0.748
  • 3.7 (first acid rain sample in North America) = 0.568

<h3>How to calculate hydrogen ion concentration (H+)?</h3>

The pH is a measure of the concentration of the hydrogen ion (H+) in water. This means that a relationship exists between H+ and pH of a solution.

The mathematical relationship between pH and H+ concentration ([H+]) is as follows:

pH = –log [H+]

This means that the hydrogen ion concentration (H+) of the following pH values can be calculated thus:

  • log 7 (a neutral solution) = 0.845
  • log 5.6 (unpolluted rainwater) = 0.748
  • log 3.7 (first acid rain sample in North America) = 0.568

ohaa [14]
I think the Atrial fibrillation is the uncoordinated beating of the atria rapid. These are rhythm in which all the atrial activity is depicted as chaotic undulations of the base line. Atrial rhythms include; atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, premature atrial contraction, wandering pacemaker. Atrial fibrillation can cause an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications.

What is an observation? What do you use to make an observation?
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: we can make observations directly by seeing, feeling, hearing, and smelling, but we can also extend and refine our basic senses with tools: thermometers, microscopes, telescopes, radar, radiation sensors, X-ray crystallography, mass spectroscopy, etc. And these tools do a better job of observing than we can!

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Radioactive labeling is a procedure used to monitor the path followed by a chemical element within  a biological system to demonstrate the source.

Hypothesis:

The free oxygen produced during photosynthesis comes from water.

Procedure.

Single-celled algae were placed in four petri dishes containing carbon dioxide, glucose dissolved in  Water.

In each box the oxygen was radioactively marked.

1 petri dish with CO2 marked. Experimental groups

2 petri dish with H2O marked. Experimental groups

3 petri dish with Glucose marked. Experimental groups (control)

4 petri dish with CO2 + H2O + Glucose, all marked. (control).
