The part anti means opposed. Biotic is basically all the naturally occurring organisms. So an antibiotic would oppose an organism like a virus.

The word bio in the word antibiotic suggests that antibiotics kill living things. Viruses have genetic information, but they don't have cells. They don't fully meet the definition of being alive.

How does the structure of a brain cell related to its function?
lesya [120]

Solution:

Structure dictates function. Ribosomes provide another good example of structure determining function. These small cellular components are made of protein and ribosomal RNA (RNA).Their main function is to translate messenger RNA, or mRNA, into strings of amino acids called proteins.

The structure and shape of each type of human cell depends on what function it will perform in the body. For example, red blood cells (RBCs) are very small, flat discs, which allows them to easily fit through narrow capillaries and around sharp corners in the circulatory system to deliver oxygen throughout the body.

Neurons carry messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body, using electrical signals down their lengths and chemical signals between neurons. Since electrical signals travel much faster than chemical signals, neurons are long and thin to minimize the number of slower chemical signals that would be required between links in a chain of many shorter neurons.

The elongated shape of muscle cells allows the contraction proteins to line up in an overlapping pattern that makes muscle flexing possible.

And human sperm cells’ structures allow them to “swim” long distances to reach an egg for fertilization. They do this by using flagella, their long whip-like tails, and also by being very small, carrying little more than the DNA for a potential zygote.

This is the required answer.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: Option A.

Achondrogenesis

Explanation:

Sonographic findings of severe micromelia, decreased or absent ossification of the spine, macrocephaly, and micrognathia are conditions of Achondrogenesis because

Achondrogenesis is a genetic disorder that is as a result of mutations in gene SLC26A2 which is responsible for cellular transport proteins that is needed for the growth and development of bones and cartilage. This condition lead to malformation of bones and cartilage and it is characterized by short limbs, small body, narrow chest ,prominent abdomen,underdeveloped lungs,lack of ossification in the spine and pelvis, prominent head, small chin e.t.c.

It is a condition that affects infants.

The major treatment is pallative care in which the doctor have to reduce pain stress of bones and cartilage and also genetic councellling.
