Answer: option B) Secretin
Explanation:
Secretin is an enzyme formed by the upper intestinal layer and gets transported by blood to the PANCREAS which it stimulates: causing the flow of pancreatic juice, also the flow of bile and intestinal juice but to a lesser extent.
Alongside Gastrin, Secretin is one of the hormones of the Gastrointestinal tract; but their functions differ
Therefore, Secretin is the answer
Answer:
Explanation:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, non-irritant, odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuels such as wood, petrol, coal, natural gas and kerosene. Its molecular weight is 28.01 g/mol, melting point −205.1 °C, boiling point (at 760 mmHg) −191.5 °C (−312.7 °F), density 1.250 kg/m3 at 0 °C and 1 atm and 1.145 kg/m3 at 25 °C and 1 atm, and relative density (air = 1) 0.967 (1,2). Its solubility in water at 1 atm is 3.54 ml/100 ml at 0 °C, 2.14 ml/100 ml at 25 °C and 1.83 ml/100 ml at 37 °C.
The molecular weight of carbon monoxide is similar to that of air (28.01 vs approximately 29). It mixes freely with air in any proportion and moves with air via bulk transport. It is combustible, may serve as a fuel source and can form explosive mixtures with air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen, acetylene, chlorine, fluorine and nitrous oxide. Carbon monoxide is not detectable by humans either by sight, taste or smell. It is only slightly soluble in water, blood serum and plasma; in the human body, it reacts with haemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb).
The relationship of carbon monoxide exposure and the COHb concentration in blood can be modelled using the differential Coburn-Forster-Kane equation (3), which provides a good approximation to the COHb level at a steady level of inhaled exogenous carbon monoxide.
Conversion factors
At 760 mmHg and 20 °C, 1ppm = 1.165 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.858 ppm; at 25 °C, 1 ppm = 1.145 mg/m3 and 1 mg/m3 = 0.873 ppm.
Answer:
An RNA single-stranded molecule that is complementary to one of a gene's DNA strands, to be precise.
Explanation:
DNA sequences or segments code for proteins or molecules with defined functions, called genes.
Answer:
When analyzing data on the nitrogenous base content of the DNA of various species, the claims are supported by the data:
- <em>In any one species, the amount of adenine closely approximates that of thymine. </em>
- <em>In any one species, the amount of guanine closely approximates that of cytosine. </em>
- <em>The amounts of A, T, G, and C in DNA varies from species to species. </em>
<em>(options A, B and D)</em>
Explanation:
Organizing the data has to:
<u>Source of DNA A T G C </u>
Streptococcus 29.8 31.6 20.5 18.0
Yeast 31.3 32.9 18.7 17.1
Herring 27.8 27.5 22.2 22.6
Human 30.9 29.4 19.9 19.8
E. Coli 24.7 23.6 26.0 25.7
DNA is the molecule that contains the genetic information of each species, formed by sequences of nitrogenous bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine.
Since Adenine and Thymine -as well as Cytosine and Guanina- are complementary, the percentage of them will be very similar in each DNA molecule.
The genetic information -which determines the physical and functional characteristics of each organism- is encoded in the DNA and is different for each species, so the percentages of nitrogenous bases vary from species to species.
