Gelneren [198K]2 years ago
7 0
<span>The genome of the E. coli bacteria is very crisp and simple with only 4400 genes, easy to study and understand. The ability of the bacteria to multiply drastically producing a generation in 1200 seconds under suitable growth condition dragged the attention of the researchers. Coming to the safety in handling the organisms, except for the particular harmful strain (O157:H7), the normal organism from the flora of the gut is safe to handle under suitable microbiological environment. The first completely sequenced genome is an additional feather in the cap of E. coli making the bacteria easier to use in recombinant DNA technology which involves nothing but the ultimate expression of proteins. Also the competence of the E. coli bacteria as a host for foreign DNAs and simple laboratory procedure to cultivate and adaptability to both aerobic and anaerobic environment made the E. coli bacteria a pioneer in the field of biotechnology.</span>

Which branch of the autonomic nervous system (ans) mobilizes the body during extreme situations, such as rage or fear?
Shalnov [3]
There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.

Which process is responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue ?
muminat

In general, the process responsible for the growth and repair of human tissue is the healing process, which takes place in three phases.

1. inflammatory response. Injured tissues release  chemicals that draw resources to the area, alert the body that damage has occurred and inhibit function to prevent further injury.

2. Repair phase. Once injured area is walled off and debris removed, construction to  replace or repair injured tissue begins. New blood vessels grow in the injured area maximizing transport within tissue.

3. Remodeling phase. Construction of permanent tissue , typically strong scar tissue made from dense network of collagen fibers. 

Looking at it from cell level, the process of mitosis is actually taking place during  healing. 

Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and to the parent cell. 

New cells are needed throughout life. These are for growth and replacement of damaged or worn out tissue. The body obtains such through the process of mitosis.
