Cancerous cells(in tumors) are in a phase of rapid mitosis(they don’t pass the whole G phase and just divide rapidly).

So mitosis inhibitors would inhibit this rapid division and the further growth of the tumor and progression of cancer in the patient.

Answer:

Mitosis inhibitor prevents tumor cells to enter mitosis by disrupting microtubules polymerization and stop it dividing.

Explanation:

Cancer cells are cells that undergo the mitotic division and bypass the G phase and divide rapidly. Mitotic cell division occurs in somatic cells that result in two identical daughter cells.

During mitotic cell division, there are different checkpoints that control different aspects and prevent a cell to divide rapidly.

Mitotic inhibitors are chemicals or agents that inhibit proteins that prevent a tumor cell to undergo in the mitotic division. Such agents inhibit a protein that forms microtubules polymerization.

vekshin1

Answer:

Upwelling

Explanation:

Upwelling is the process through which cold water gets to ascends from the bottom, providing nutrients to the superficial stratum.

Upwelling is an ascending displacement of marine currents. The phenomenon<em> can also occur in lakes or freshwater dams</em>.

Wind blowing over the coast can cause surface water to move out to sea. This motion is complemented by a slow ascension of cold water coming from the bottom forward to the coast. This currents movement is known as upwelling.

Upwelling water is extremely cold and rich in nutrients, which result from remineralization, by bacterial action, of organic matter that accumulates in the deepest stratum of the water body.

The contact of minerals with photosynthesizing organisms in superficial layers produces a significantly high primary productivity.

dalvyx [7]
<span>All of them at one time or another since the liver produces so many biomolecules that are important in digestion and or absorption of nutrients. However ..the one most likely to be strongly affected inititially is fats because the liver makes bile necessary for emulsification of dietary triglycerides and activation of pancreatic lipase. Also the intermediary metabolism of triglycerides is dependent on VLDL, HDLs, and apolipoproteins like C, E etc., all of which are made by the liver. This is one reason why alcoholism which can severly impair liver function is characterized by fatty liver syndrome.</span>

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

sensory neurons

Explanation:

Sensory neuron is a biological term that describes the nerve cells or neurons present in the nervous system. They function by activating certain stimuli into action or graded potentials through receptors.

For example, when you touch a block of ice, the sensory nervous will send the signal to the whole nervous system.

Hence, in this case, it can be concluded that the correct answer is "Sensory neuron."
