Answer:

Pulmonary fibrosis is a disease that affects the lungs. The lung tissue becomes damaged and scarred which causes it to be thickened and stiff.

The condition pulmonary fibrosis is caused by the replacement of elastic fibers in the lung with inelastic collagen fibers. This decreases the lungs’ ability to stretch outwards.

Pulmonary fibrosis however mainly affects inspiration because the lungs cannot stretch to increase volume while during expiration stretching of the tissues doesn’t happen so it doesn’t affect the process.

Answer:

inspiration

Explanation:

The ability if the lungs to stretch  due to contraction of  inter coastal muscles ensures that maximum air enters the lungs as the lungs expands,  and enough oxygen enter the alveoli to reach the blood,this is inspiration.

If inelastic collagen fibres replaces the elastic fibres, the failure of the lung to stretch outwards,increase in volume, deceases the lung capacity, thus maximum filling inspiration is prevented, and therefore low oxygen supplies to the needed organs.

All animals are _______. a. producers b. omnivores c. herbivores d. consumers
vladimir1956 [14]

The right option is; d. consumers

All animals are consumers

Consumers are organisms that usually feed on other organisms or organic matter in order to gain energy because of their inability to manufacture their food from inorganic sources. All animals are consumers and they are also known as heterotrophs. There are different types of consumers. They include; primary consumers (herbivores e.g. goats, cows), secondary consumers (carnivores e.g. wolves, crocodile), and tertiary consumers (large carnivores e.g. eagle, lion)

Según la historia evolutiva y sus diferentes saltos, ¿Qué linaje de especies es más antiguo?
Arturiano [62]

es la A

Hace aproximadamente 250 millones de años ocurrió la extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico, un evento en el cual murieron hasta el 96 por ciento de las especies marinas y un porcentaje similar de las terrestres. Cerca de tres millones de años después se produjo la separación, a partir de un ancestro en común, de los linajes que con el tiempo darían origen a las aves y los cocodrilos. El grupo que incluye tanto a cocodrilos como aves se lo denomina Archosauria, que significa ‘reptiles dominantes’.

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating _______, which then undergoes _______ to _______, then to _
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Thymine in DNA occurs as the result of thymidylate synthase creating deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which then undergoes phosphorylation to deoxythymidine diphosphate (dTDP), then to Deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP), and incorporated into DNA by the DNA polymerase (DNA pol). Thymine in tRNA arises post-transcriptionally, by S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation of a uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) residue in RNA.

Explanation:

Thymidylate synthase is an enzyme involved in <em>de novo</em> DNA synthesis. This enzyme (thymidylate synthase) catalyzes the transfer of the one-carbon group from 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate (5,10-CH2-THF) to deoxyuridine monophosphate (dUMP) and subsequent methylation to produce deoxythymidine monophosphate (dTMP), which is then phosphorylated to deoxythymidine triphosphate (dTTP) by kinases and incorporated into DNA. On the other hand, specific tRNA methylases catalyze the methylation of transference RNA (tRNA) by using S-adenosylmethionine as a methyl donor. Since tRNA methylation is a post-transcriptional modification, this chemical reaction is considered an epitranscriptomic modification on the RNA molecule.
