Answer:

Otosclerosis is the abnormal growth of bone near the stapes. This abnormal growth of bone around the stapes prevents the sound waves to enter into the oval window and leads to deafness.

There are 3 bones present in the inner ear i.e. malleus, incus, and stapes. The 3 bones coordinate to convert sound waves into the mechanical wave and transmit to the oval window, then cochlea.

Due to otosclerosis, there would be a blockage in the middle ear and thus an individual can't hear.  

To cure this problem stapedectomy has done by surgery. In this process, stape has removed and the diseased bone is removed. In this place, a prosthetic device would insert to allow the sound waves to the inner ear. Sometimes this surgery is not successful. In many cases properly fitted hearing aid will help people of otosclerosis.

In the stapedectomy surgery, surgeons try to remove the ill-fitted bones of stape and insert another substitute for stape bone which can move and helps in creating the vibration of sound waves in the oval window. So that the individual can hear.  

Otosclerosis is more common in women than a man. It is also genetic.

Select all of the true statements regarding non‑shivering thermogenesis.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

a, b, d y e

Explanation:

We can define thermogenesis as the method of production of lime or temperature that a living body generates, in biology it is studied that this does not occur in all animals, but is seen in so-called warm blood and some plants, there are three types of processes identified in animals:

NEAT: defined as thermogenesis that occurs without the presence of physical activity

DIT: defined as the thermogenesis that occurs with physical activity

EAT: defined as the thermogenesis that occurs with the consumption of food or diet

Thermogenesis under the thermogenin protein found in brown adipose tissue produces a disengagement of protons within the mitochondria, prevents ATP synthesis and is capable of inducing temperature with the flow of protons, it also intervenes by increasing glycolysis, lipogenesis and gluconeogenesis with which its final result in these processes is the production of energy. The effect of the sympathetic nervous system and thyroid hormones that can balance heat production without generating abnormal movements such as tremor is also recognized.

Thus we deduce that:

electron transport allows heat flow without causing tremors

Thermogenin is involved in allowing protons to enter the mitochondria and the ATP production process is carried out.

hydrolysis of fatty acids occurs in the presence of norepinephrine

in brown adipocytes ATP synthase can be avoided

Why do animal cells have centriole but plant cells do not?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>Animals have centrioles to form spindle fibers during prophase. The centriole divides cells. Plants do not have them because they have microtubules instead; they do not need centrioles. Plants are capable of forming a circular loop of microtubules around the future plane of division prior to prophase called the preprophase band, rather than centrosome. Basically- plants don't need it. They have a different way of cell division.</span>
