The correct answer is B.

Llana [10]4 years ago

Answer:

B. Its innermost energy level.

Explanation:

Carbon has six electrons, four of which are located in its valence shell. Thus, the tetravalent carbon makes four covalent bonds to achieve its chemical stability. These connections are made at your innermost energy level.

It can bond with other carbon atoms, chaining together, to form numerous types of chains. The carbon atom binds to hydrogen and other common elements in organic compounds such as oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), halogens (Cl, Br, F, I), etc.

Knowing what tetanus toxin does to motor neuron activity, predict what would happen to the concentration of acetylcholine in the
jekas [21]
The tetanus is a disease caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani. The Clostridium tetani is a normal inhabitant of the soil and can easily contaminate dirty wounds, especially those due to farm practices. In the body, these bacteria produce a toxin called tetanospasmin. The toxin enters the central nervous system which is the brain and spinal cord where it blocks the mechanisms that inhibit motor neurons from firing when a muscle is relaxed. With this inhibition removed, the neurons fire repeatedly and continually stimulates the muscle, causing painful and increasingly stronger muscle spasms. The masseter or jaw muscles are often the first muscles involved, and it is the spasm of these muscles that gives rise to tetanus' common name lockjaw, also called trismus. The muscles of the face, neck, back, and proximal limbs are also commonly affected. The contraction of the facial musculature leads to a characteristic facial expression with a teeth-baring grin and raised eyebrows. Contraction of the back muscles may cause the back to arch posteriorly.

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

chloroplasts and mitochondria.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are the organelles capable of ATP production by photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation respectively. Chloroplasts are the site for photosynthesis. The light reactions of photosynthesis include splitting of the water molecule in presence of sunlight and transfer of electrons from PS-II to PS-I via electron carrier. During electron transport, a proton gradient is created which in turn drives ATP synthesis.  

Mitochondria are the site for aerobic stages of cellular respiration. Glycolysis and Kreb's cycle, the first and second stages of cellular respiration produce NADH and FADH2 during the redox reactions. These reducing powers are oxidized by giving their electrons to the terminal electron acceptor, the oxygen molecule.

Electrons from the reducing powers are carried to oxygen molecules via a series of electron carrier proteins embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. During electron transport, an electrochemical gradient is created which in turn drives the ATP synthesis.

Where did Charles Darwin go on his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

In 1831, Charles Darwin received an astounding invitation: to join the HMS Beagle as ship's naturalist for a trip around the world. For most of the next five years, the Beagle surveyed the coast of South America, leaving Darwin free to explore the continent and islands, including the Galápagos.
