kogti [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (b) "addition of a drug that prevents the α subunit from exchanging GDP for GTP".

Explanation:

The G protein is a name given to a family of proteins that act as a switch in diverse cellular processes, transmitting signals from outside to inside of the cells. When a G protein receptor is activated by a neurotransmitter such as dopamine, the alpha subunit exchanges its GDP for a GTP and disassociates G-protein itself. An addition of a drug that prevents this action would prevent  G protein disassociation, which would enhance the effect of stimulating G protein that acetylcholine does.

Astronomers studying the planet of Rhombus have detected sedimentary rock on its surface. One astronomer wonders if material in
Gwar [14]
Answer:
igneous rock CAN become sedimentary rock through a process called ROCK CYCLE.
Explanation:
Rocks can be defined as solid structures of minerals that are formed naturally over a period of time. They are grouped into three main types which includes the following:
- igneous rock
- sedimentary rocks and
- metamorphic rocks.
Rocks are capable of transforming from one type to another through a process known as rock cycle. There are two forces that brings about this process which includes:
- The internal force : this is the Earth’s internal heat engine, which moves material around in the core and the mantle and leads to slow but significant changes within the crust.
- The external force: this is the the hydrological cycle, which is the movement of water, ice, and air at the surface, and is powered by the sun.
Molten magma cools to form either extrusive igneous rock or intrusive igneous rock. With time they undergo weathering, eroded, transported, and then deposited as sediments which are being compressed and cemented into SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. Again through the above mentioned forces, different kinds of rocks are either uplifted, to be re-eroded, or buried deeper within the crust where they are heated up, squeezed, and changed into METAMORPHIC ROCK.
Therefore the material in this sedimentary rock found in Rhombus planet used to be in igneous rock deep in Rhombus's interior due to continuous rock cycling on the planet. I hope this helps

How would the body most likely respond to the condition illustrated
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

A) Faster blood flow: A faster blood flow means the heart pumps blood with more power. Pumping blood to fast for too long can damage the heart muscle and interfere with its normal electrical signals, which can result in a dangerous heart rhythm disorder.

B) Infection: infection is caused by invasion of the body by external microorganisms. Disease can arise if the host's protective immune mechanisms are compromised and the organism inflicts damage on the host.

C) vomiting: This is an involuntary, forced expulsion of stomach contents usually through the mouth or nose. Body's reaction can be aspiration, electrolyte and water loss, damage to the enamel of the teeth, tear of the esophageal mucosa etc.

D) High blood pressure: This is due to the heart pumping blood at high pressure putting a strain on the walls of the blood vessels. In some cases, people with high blood pressure may have a pounding feeling in their head or chest, a feeling of lightheadedness or dizziness, or other signs.
