Biology

koban [17]4 years ago
3 0
A mutualistic relationship is when two organisms of different species "work together," each benefiting from the relationship. One example of a mutualistic relationship is that of the oxpecker (a kind of bird) and the rhinoceros or zebra. Oxpeckers land on rhinos or zebras and eat ticks and other parasites that live on their skin. The oxpeckers get food and the beasts get pest control. Also, when there is danger, the oxpeckers fly upward and scream a warning, which helps the symbiont (a name for the other partner in a relationship).

LuckyWell [14K]
<span>The answer is A) DNA.
The genetic information of the cell is packed within a nucleus. Unlike other organelles of the cell, chloroplasts and mitochondria have their own genetic information as well in the form of DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is circular in most of the organisms, only some protists, fungi and plants have linear mitochondrial DNA. It contains genes that code for transport RNA, ribosomal subunits, and for other proteins necessary for mitochondrial function. Chloroplast DNA has branched linear form. Chloroplast genes mostly code for proteins involved in photosynthesis.</span>

Caffeine aids in the movement of calcium ions across cell membranes by both making it easier for the Ca2+ channels to open and b
Llana [10]

Caffeine cause dose dependent prominent increase in force of contraction and period of contraction of muscle

<u>Explanation:</u>

Caffeine is widely used in foods and drinks. Its long time use can effect central nervous system include lethargy memory, sleep disorder and anxiety.

Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.  However latent period and relaxation period are unaffected by caffeine. Increase in concentration of calcium ion will result increase number of power stroke and force for contraction.

Because of calcium ion release in skeletal muscle, caffeine causes peripheral manifestation such as hyper-reflexia, muscle twitching etc.

High amount of caffeine leads to increase in release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum. It increases tension development in single tetanic contraction and re-initiate maximum tension in fatigue single myofibre by restoring Ca2+ release from sarcoplasmic reticulum to non-fatigued levels.

An action potential releases neurotransmitter from a neuron by opening which channels?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Calcium channels.

Explanation:

The  arrival of action potential at the presynaptic neuron, cause the opening of Ca+ channels, at the presynpatic neuron membranes. This leads to influx of Ca+ . The latter caused  the Acetycholine contained vesicles in the presynaptic  neuron to migrate to the tip of the presynaptic neurons, and  fused with the neuronal membrane to  empty their contents into the synaptic cleft.

What two characteristics do fungi lack that forced them to become decomposers
Artist 52 [7]
Fungi are decomposers, they obtain their food from dead organic matters. Fungi obtain their nutrient this way because they can not produce their own food. To produce their own food they need chloroplast in their cells to obtain energy from the sun. And they also need the ability to fix nitrogen which they will incorporate into the food they produce. Because they lack the ability to do this thing, they have to adapt to eating dead materials. <span />
