Biology

Viktor [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

<u>Benzodiazepines</u> are considered effective in the short-term treatment of anxiety, regardless of the cause.

Explanation:

Benzodiazepines are the group of CNS drugs which are used extensively in the attacks of anxiety alongwith insomnia and seizures because they have extremely fast acting anti-anxietic effects.

Benzodiazepines cause dose dependant CNS depression that extends from sedation to anesthesia to respiratory depression and death.

These drugs act on the GABA receptors and potentiate the effect of GABA thus resulting in the increase in the frequency of CL- channel opening thus mediate antianxiety and impairment of cognitive functions.

Benzodiazepines include following drugs :

1) Alprazolam

2) Diazepam

3) Lorazepam

4) Oxazepam

Which immune component is deficient in a child who has a congenital immunodeficiency that impairs b lymphocyte function?
Artist 52 [7]

Neutrophils component is deficient in a child who has a congenital immunodeficiency that impairs <u>B lymphocyte</u> function.

Neutrophils- A specific kind of white blood cell that aids in the body's defense against infection and is crucial to the immune system. White blood cells are one of the initial immune cells to react when bacteria or viruses enter the body.

B Lymphocytes- By generating antibodies, B cells are essential for pathogen-specific immunity. Immunoglobulins attached to the surface of B lymphocytes allow them to identify soluble antigens, causing them to develop into plasma cells, which can secrete immunoglobulins and produce antibodies. Primary lymphoid tissues include lymphocytes.

In biological systems, there are several membrane transport systems responsible for the passage of ions like Na+ and K+.
dangina [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a. True.

Explanation:

There are several membrane transport systems responsible for the passage of ions like Na+ and K+.

Cell membranes are semipermeable, which means they can regulate which molecules may and cannot flow through them. Some molecules may simply drift in and out of a cell (this is called simple diffusion), while others require specific structures to enter and exit (this type of diffusion is called facilitated diffusion), and still, others require an energy boost to pass the cell membrane (this is known as active transport).

Both simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport: they happen without the energy boost that ATP gives, unlike active transport.

In passive transport, molecules follow their chemical gradients and travel through the most concentrated compartment to the less concentrated one to equal the concentrations. In active transport, on the other hand, the cell makes an effort to enter or exit ions against their chemical gradients and this is done particularly to maintain said gradients (they are required for the correct functioning of the cell).

Sodium and Potassium are two of the most important ions when it comes to maintaining these gradients: sodium is very concentrated in the outside of the cells (the extracellular compartment), while potassium is highly concentrated in the intracellular compartment. These differences in concentrations are maintained thanks to the Na+/K+ pump, a form of active transport. Apart from the Na+/K+ pump, these ions go through the membrane through passive transport as well, without requiring energy.

Climate change is partly the result of an increased concentration of greenhouse gases, especially ____.
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Climate change is partly the result of an increased concentration of greenhouse gases, especially carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Increased concentration of carbon dioxide, leads to change in temperature because it traps the heat in the Earth's atmosphere. For greenhouse, carbon dioxide is the main gas. The other green house gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide,  methane, nitrous oxide and ozone. Absence of the greenhouse leads to the average temperature of about -18 degree Celsius. But when these gases are present the average temperature is about 15 degree Celsius.
