Oleander (Nerium oleander) is a common but poisonous ornamental shrub. All parts of the plant contain chemicals that inhibit the

Na+/K+ pump. How would this affect sodium-glucose symporters (secondary active transport) of a given cell?

Answer:

Glucose levels within the cell would decrease

Explanation:

Sodium glucose simulators are proteins that participate in secondary active transport within epithelial cells. This type of protein can be located in the cell membrane and has the function of transporting glucose and sodium into cells simultaneously. These proteins are directly dependent on Na+/K+ pumps, as they use the free energy released by them to efficiently transport sodium and glucose. For this reason, we can conclude that if a plant's chemicals inhibit the Na+/K+ pump, glucose and sodium concentrations will decrease because the proteins responsible for their transport into the cell will be weakened by a lack of energy.

Mutations in DNA include deletions and insertions. These types of mutations:
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

(A). Result in different amino acids to be read due to frame shifts

Explanation:

Insertion or deletion mutations (or Indel mutations) can be defined as mutations in DNA due to insertion (addition) or deletion of nucleotide bases in DNA.  

These mutations lead to change in reading frames (sequence of codons), which leads to formation of protein having completely different amino acid sequence. Hence, these mutations are also cause frameshift mutations.

This is due due to triplet nature of genetic codes as insertion or deletion of one or more bases (but not three) would change change in codon sequence and mutated sequence can form a non-functional or truncated protein.

Thus, the correct answer is option (A).

Animals in the chaparral biome are not especially vulnerable to drought. Please select the best answer from the choices provided
Marina CMI [18]

Answer;

The above statement is true

Explanation;

Some of the adaptations of the chaparral fauna are that the animals do not require much water. The animals have learned to live in their biome by being nocturnal and are usually small. The animals are all mainly grassland and desert types adapted to hot, dry weather.

Organisms that live in the chaparral have developed unique adaptations that aid in their survival. Coyote brush is a unique plant found in the chaparral of California and Oregon. The shape a coyote brush takes depends on the location in which it is growing, but each coyote brush plant develops a large root system that extends outward many yards from the main plan

Abnormal condition resulting in the diminished flow of perspiration is
Margarita [4]

The hypohidrosis is a condition, in which the sweating ability is diminished in a person. This condition may cause severe threats, if complete absence of the sweating occurs. The complete absence of sweating is known as anhidrosis.

The hypohydrosis can lead to long lasting hyperthermia, as the body is not able to lose heat through sweating. It can also cause heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and in severe cases, it may result to death.

hence, the correct answer is hypohidrosis.
