Answer:

B because the diffusion gradient is steeper there

Explanation:

Oxygen moves in the cell through the process of diffusion which means it moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration. More the difference in concentration, concentration gradient will be more steeper and diffusion will take faster.

So in this case cell, B cell consumes oxygen at a faster rate because it is more metabolically active therefore as oxygen is consumed at a faster rate the concentration difference in B cell becomes high and the diffusion gradient becomes steeper so oxygen will diffuse more quickly in cell B.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

 A … the diffusion gradient there is shallower

  A … its membrane transport proteins will not be saturated

  B … the oxygen molecules inside cell B have a higher kinetic energy

  B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper

Answer:

B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper

Explanation:

In the given question, cell A does not perform the process of metabolism but cell B is metabolically active as a result of which the cell uses oxygen.

The oxygen will diffuse more quickly in cell B as the diffusion process will allow the movement of the oxygen from higher concentration to lower concentration. Since the cell is active therefore it requires oxygen and releases oxygen as a result of which the oxygen level rises and fall instantly and is steeper.

Thus, B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper is correct.

The frontal lobes also include the primary ____________ which controls voluntary motor functions.
lakkis [162]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- primary motor cortex

Explanation:

The motor cortex is the portion of the brain present in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe of the brain.  The motor cortex is thought to be involved in the planning actions and control voluntary actions.

The motor cortex is divided into three regions: premotor cortex, primary motor cortex  and supplementary motor area.

The primary motor cortex is the region of the motor cortex which controls the voluntary movements in the human body by generating the impulse.

Thus, the primary motor cortex is the correct answer.

or you can say:

Point mutations are a large category of mutations that describe a change in single nucleotide of DNA, such that that nucleotide is switched for another nucleotide, or that nucleotide is deleted, or a single nucleotide is inserted into the DNA that causes that DNA to be different from the normal or wild type gene ...
