<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Glial cells

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • The nervous system is made up of neurons and glia. Neurons are specialized cells that are capable of sending electrical as well as chemical signals
  • Glial cells or neuroglia are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.
  • <u>Glial cells are cells that provide support functions for the neurons by playing an information processing role that is complementary to neurons.</u>

a man is twice as old as his son.Five years ago the ratio of their ages was 9:4.Find the sum of their ages​
elena-s [515]

Answer:

75years

Explanation:

Let the Father's age be represented by 2x

Let the Son's age be represented by x

Five years ago;

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

8x - 20 = 9x - 45

- Collect like terms

-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

25 = x

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years

The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years

Why is promoter important to transcription
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

A promoter is a region of DNA where transcription of a gene is initiated. Promoters are a vital component of expression vectors because they control the binding of RNA polymerase to DNA. RNA polymerase transcribes DNA to mRNA which is ultimately translated into a functional protein.

Explain how the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.

This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
