Which of the following would be an adequate stimulus for a mechanoreceptor?

Biology
1 answer:
Misha Larkins [42]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

b. Cell stretch

Explanation:

Mechanoreceptors are the sensory receptors that sense the level or amount of stretch in the cells wherein they are present. Mechanoreceptors are one of the interceptors as they detect the changes in the internal bodily conditions (degree of cell stretch).

Example: mechanoreceptors present in walls of blood vessels and in the inner ear in the form of hair cells.

A woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man. What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder in which a person's blood do not clots and he can bleed to death even after minor injuries because blood will keep running due to a small cut.

It is a recessive trait which means that even if one normal gene is present along with Hemophiliac gene, the person will not have the disease and he will be the carrier.

Question: What will be their children’s possible phenotypes?

If a woman who is a carrier for hemophilia marries a hemophiliac man, their genotypes can be denotes as :

Here H, indicate normal gene and small h indicate defected (hemophilia) gene.

Parents:                      XHXh                   X           XhY

Offspring:                   XHXh : XHY:  XhXh:  XhY

Phenotype of offspring:

XHXh:  The child will be daughter and normal (25 % chances)

XHY:     The child will be son and normal (25 % chances)

XhXh:   The child will be girl and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

XhY:      The child will be son and Hemophiliac (25 % chances)

Hope it helps!

Hyperpolarization means that the ________. Group of answer choices membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting pot
gladu [14]

Answer:

Hyperpolarization means that the membrane potential becomes more negative than the resting potential.

Explanation:

The voltage across the membrane of a neuron that is at rest and not sending out signals is called the resting membrane potential, or just the resting potential. The concentration gradients of ions across the membrane and the amount of each type of ion that can pass through the membrane determine the resting potential. When a neuron is at rest, there are different levels of sodium and potassium on both sides of the cell membrane. Ions move down their gradients through channels. This creates a difference in charge, which gives rise to the resting potential.

When the membrane potential at a particular location on the neuron's membrane gets more negative, this phenomenon is known as hyperpolarization. Depolarization, on the other hand, occurs when the membrane potential becomes less negative (more positive). Both depolarization and hyperpolarization can take place as a result of the opening and closing of ion channels in the membrane, which changes the rate at which certain types of ions can enter or leave the cell.

Which of these types of weathering requires the presence of water?
serg [7]

Answer:

¿Dónde se encuentran los microorganismos? ¿Los microorganismos son signos de enfermedad?
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Microorganisms can be found both in the external environment  (ecosystem) and the internal environment (microflora) of higher organisms.

Explanation:

Microorganisms (microbes) are microscopic forms of life that include bacteria, protists, fungi and animal species, these organisms can se differentiated by using laboratory techniques such as the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) or by microscopes. These organisms are both beneficial and both beneficial and pathogenic for humans. For example, the microflora may be useful in digesting nutrients contained in the food. On the other hand, <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> is a pathogen microorganism that is found in the digestive system of mosquitoes and cause malaria in humans.

Why more atp is produced in aerobic respiration than in anaerobic respiration
Oxana [17]
Most of the ATP produced by aerobic cellular respiration is made by oxidative phosphorylation. This works by the energy released in the consumption of pyruvate being used to create a chemiosmotic potential by pumping protons across a membrane. 

<span>Aerobic metabolism is 19 times more efficient than anaerobic metabolism (which yields 2 mol ATP per 1 mol glucose). They share the initial pathway of glycolysis but aerobic metabolism continues with the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. The post glycolytic reactions take place in the mitochondria in eukaryotic cells, and in the cytoplasm in prokaryotic cells.</span>
