Answer:

C) CO2 is fixed at night when the stomata are open photosynthesis occurs at night

Explanation:

CAM plants exhibit temporal separation of CO2 uptake and CO2 fixation to reduce the water loss. Air is moist and cooler at night. These plants open the stomata at night to allow the CO2 to enter the leaf cells. The entered CO2 is fixed into oxaloacetate which in turn is reduced into malate and is stored in vacuoles. Stomata remain closed during day time to prevent water loss. Decarboxylation of malate releases CO2 which in turn enters the C3 cycle to form glucose.

HELP SOS PLEASE !!!!! (ONLY CORRECT ANSWERS PLEASE)
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1- Option A) describes an index fossil. Trilobite existed for a short time, but was abundant and lived in many locations.

2- Option B) Continents were once joined and have since drifted apart.

Explanation:

1) Fossils are animal and vegetable rests found in different strata of sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary layers deposit chronologically, so they are used to reflect history. They keep in each layer some of the forms of life that inhabited that area in the past. These fossils turn to be very useful while dating ages. The term Index fossils refer to those fossils that only existed in a given era or geological period during evolution.  

Index fossils must:    

• Be easily recognizable and distinguishable from all the other fossils

• Have lived in a relatively short geological period

• Present a wide geographic distribution

• Have lived in different sedimentary basins

• Appear in different types of rocks

• Be abundant

<em>A) Trilobite existed for a short time, but was abundant and lived in many locations. </em>The species accomplish the requirements. It is easily recognizable, had a wide geographic distribution, was abundant, and lived for a short time.  

2) The tectonic plates theory states that there is a continual movement of the crust. It explains the movement of the different plates and their directions and interactions. The continental drift theory explains how these movements have been taking place since millions of years ago. When continents were together in a unique continent, many species used to inhabit it. When plates started to separate, they took some of these species that got apart by the ocean. Some species were already dead and fossilized, while some other organisms died during continental drift and got fossilized after the divergence. <em>The existence of the same fossils, placed in the same layers and of the same age, suggests that they used to inhabit the same area and died during the same time, meaning that continents were together when they got fossilized. </em>

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

d. cerebellum.

Explanation:

The cerebellum, which is part of the hindbrain, is a small structure made of a covering of white cortex found under the hemispheres of the cerebral cortex. The cerebellum plays a major role in the control and coordination of all physical movements such as balance, control, etc, that has to deal with smooth and balanced activities of the muscle.  

A damage to the cerebellum would most likely lead to impaired motor coordination, staggering, inability to judge distance or when to stop.

There are choices for this question namely:

a) Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic.
b) Decadron is an antibiotic.
c) Bactrim is a bronchodilator.
d) Albuterol is a bronchodilator.
<span>e) Prednisone is a corticosteroid.
</span>
The correct answers are "ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic", "albuterol is a bronchodilator", and "prednisone is a corticosteroid". Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic in the class of fluoroquinolones, effective against respiratory infections since patients with COPD has mucus hypersecretion which predisposes the patient to respiratory infections. Other antibiotics include respiratory fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin and moxifloxacin, cephalosporins such as cefuroxime and ceftriaxone, and beta-lactams such as co-amoxiclav. Albuterol is a short acting beta-agonist (SABA) which actions as a bronchodilator by relaxing bronchial smooth muscles. Other popular SABA is salbutamol. Prednisone is a corticosteroid which actions to prevent inflammation by blocking the arachidonic acid pathway and therefore block the formation of inflammatory mediators. 

Decadron is dexamethasone which is a steroid. Bactrim is TMP/SMX which is an antibiotic.

What are zinc fingers, and why are they frequently encountered in descriptions of genetic regulation in eukaryotes?
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

A zinc finger is also known as zinc-binding repeats or ZnF that are molecular scaffold which is characterized by the coordination of Zn²⁺ ions so it can stabilize the fold.

The zinc fingers consist of several amino acid sequence 2 histidine and 2 cysteine residues at intervals. These residues bind to the zinc atom covalently and form finger-like motifs.

They are a major family of eukaryotic transcription factors. These are identified in a significant regulatory state such as developmental control genes and proto-oncogene by binding to the DNA, RNA, or protein.
