<span>This is a case of benzodiazepine overdose from Alprazolam (Xanax). Benzodiazepine overdose presents mostly with inhibition of the central nervous system including the brainstem (hence explaining the decreased respiratory rate and somnolence) as well as systemic effects such as decrease in heart rate and in blood pressure. The antidote for benzodiazepine overdose is Flumenazil<span> which is a selective benzodiazepine receptor antagonist and prevent further binding and action of the administrated benzodiazepine. </span></span>

Which of the statements regarding the cell cycle is true? Group of answer choices It is regulated by cyclins and CDKs. Different
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

All of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

Cell cycle is the process of growth and division of cell. It comprises of interphase and mitosis. In interphase the cell grows, replicates its genomic content and prepares itself for division. In mitosis the division occurs.

Cell cycle is controlled by a group of kinases called as Cyclin dependent Kinases (CDKs). They act by phosphorylating their substrates. They are of various types like Cdk1, Cdk2, Cdk4 etc. They become active when they bind to a regulatory protein called cyclin. They are also of various types like Cyclin A, Cyclin B, Cyclin C etc. Level of cyclin and corresponding CDK increases and decreases according to the stage of cell cycle. For example in S phase of cell cycle concentration of cyclin A and E shoots up. CDK2 is able to bind to these cyclin molecules and hence it becomes active.

Cell cycle has major checkpoints where the condition of cell is analysed before it proceeds to the next stage of cycle. If any abnormality is detected, repair mechanism is activated or the cell is killed. Checkpoints do not allow cell cycle to proceed in damaged cells.

p53 is a tumor suppressor protein which can halt cell cycle when it detects some abnormality in cell. It usually acts in G1/S checkpoint (before the DNA replication starts in cell) and G2/M checkpoint (before the cell division begins). Hence, all of the above statements are true.

Answer:

Cells divide twice

Meiosis is also known as reduction division as the chromosome number reduces upto half in the progeny cells as compared with the parent cell. The cells divide twice in meiosis and give rise to four daughter cells.

Why do you think we have different Biomes in the
Novosadov [1.4K]

Each biome has a unique set of environmental conditions and plants and animals that have adapted to those conditions. The major land biomes have names like tropical rainforest, grasslands, desert, temperate deciduous forest, taiga (also called coniferous or boreal forest), and tundra.

Explanation:

A biome is different from an ecosystem. An ecosystem is the interaction of living and nonliving things in an environment. A biome is a specific geographic area notable for the species living there. A biome can be made up of many ecosystems. For example, an aquatic biome can contain ecosystems such as coral reefs and kelp forests.
