Answer: There is an inadequate blood supply to the appendix wall

Explanation: The appendix is a tube-shaped sac that's attached to the large intestine. It exists in humans and a small number of other mammals, including the koala and apes. In medical terms, it’s referred to as 'vermiform appendix' for its thin, worm-like shape.

According to researchers, the human digestive system is full of bacteria necessary to digest food. [1] When attack from diseases, sometimes these important kinds of bacteria are purged or killed off. In such situations, the appendix can act as a reserve for good bacteria. After the immune system beats off the disease, the bacteria emerge and re-colonize the gut.

During appendicitis, bacteria trapped in the lumen of the appendix are not effectively attacked because of the inadequate blood supply to the appendix wall. Therefore leukocytes are not able to migrate to the site of infection to attack the bacteria.

Relate the surface area of a cell to the transport of materials.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

If the size of a cell increases it will be more difficult (all other things being equal) for diffusion to transport materials out of the cell. Therefore, less of the cell's interior will be able to come in contact with the cell's surface. If less of it comes in contact, less of it can cross the cell membrane.

hope this helps and please mark me as brainliest please

Renin is released by cells of the apparatus in response to afferent arteriole pressure and the degree of stretch of the arteriol
astra-53 [7]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Renin ( angiotensinogenase), is an aspartic protease protein which is secreted by kidney that participates in the body's renin – angiotensin – aldosterone network that mediates arterial vasoconstriction and extracellular fluid volume.

Renin is released by cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus in response to the stimuli of decrease in arterial blood pressure and the degree of stretch of the arteriole wall.

Hence, the statement is true.

In order to add the gene for human insulin to a bacterial plasmid, the DNA molecules have to be "cut" with enzymes called restri
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

Human insulin protein will not be produced

Explanation:

For production of human insulin protein in bacteria, first the insulin gene needs to be transcribed to corresponding mRNA. This mRNA will be then translated to produce insulin protein. The initial portion of any gene has a promoter sequence. During transcription RNA Polymerase recognizes this promoter sequence to initiate the process.

Here, the gene's first five nucleotides were accidentally cut out so now the promoter sequence has been altered. RNA Polymerase will not be able to recognise it so transcription will not occur. No mRNA will be formed and as a result translation will also not occur and there will be no production of insulin protein.
