Answer:

d. inadequate oxygen to the tissues and cells.

Explanation:

Hypoxia is a pathological state in which the body is impoverished with adequate oxygen supply to the tissues and cells. At that state, oxygen is significantly insufficient which can pose a threat or associated with diffusion of oxygen in the lungs to carry out respiratory activities, malfunctioning of the Brain, headaches, nausea,anxiety etc.

Hypoxemia is a decrease in arterial oxygen levels.

If vestigial structures, such as hip bones in dolphins, have no current function, then why does natural selection allow them to
Snezhnost [94]
Vestigial structures are inherited from ancestors, but have lost much or all of their original function due to different selection pressures acting on the descendant. The hipbones of bottlenose dolphins are vestigial structures. However, as the dolphin lineage adapted to life at sea, this function was lost.

Pls help me on the second question!!

Constant speed would have a straight and diagonal line either facing upwards or downwards in the graph. This is because speed is displacement divided by time, which becomes the slope of the graph.

The opening of which of the following types of ion channels will lead to a depolarization? A chemically gated sodium channel 2)
nikitadnepr [17]

All of them will lead to depolarisation.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Depolarisation is a phenomenon ebochor occurs in the excitable tissues of our bodies, namely the neurons and the muscle T junctions. Here the membrane is already polarised by means of difference in charges as well as concentration of ions on both sides of the cell membrane. With a single stimuli, this change in concentration is gone, and this is de polarisation.

This phenomenon occurs because of the opening of the ion channels like potassium channels and sodium channels which leads to a diffusion of ions from both sides to the other achieving a more or less equal concentration on both sides of cell membrane.

Now this opening of the ion channels can be triggered by means of different stimuli. In case of neurons, the opening of the post synaptic ion channels are guided by the chemical impulse taking in synapse.

In case of inter neuron transfer, the ion channels open due to change in voltage of the previous part of the axon.

In case of organ of Corti, the sodium channels open due to mechanical events occurring inside cochlea. So ion channels can open in any form will lead to change in potential.

How is dna structured
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Nucleotides are attached together to form two long strands that spiral to create a structure called a double helix. If you think of the double helix structure as a ladder, the phosphate and sugar molecules would be the sides, while the bases would be the rungs.

Explanation:

I hope this helps:)
