Hello! I figured your question was lacking its options so I went online to find them and here they are:

A. Activated platelets release chemicals that  inhibit blood clot formation.

B. Activated platelets release signaling  molecules that inhibit cell division in  damaged tissue.

C. Activated platelets constrict the blood  vessels, stopping blood flow.

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that  activate more platelets.

Answer:

The correct answer is: D) Activated platelets release chemicals that  activate more platelets.

Explanation:

<u>Positive feedback</u><u> is a mechanism in which a stimulus triggers an intensification of this same stimulus.</u>

When a tissue is damaged, the platelets participate in a process called platelet adhesion that consists of contacting and sticking to the collagen fibers of the connective tissue under the damaged endothelial cells. This platelet adhesion <u>activates</u> the platelets and makes them grow projections to contact and interact with one another, while releasing substances to activate other nearby platelets. The accumulation and the attachment of large numbers of platelets ultimately form a <u>platelet plug</u>.

"susan is consuming 70 grams of protein per day on her 2,000-kilocalorie-per-day diet. what percent of susan's diet is protein?"
nirvana33 [79]
The answer to this question would be: 14%
Protein will give a calorie about 4kcal/gram. Then, the total calorie of protein from Susan meal would be: 70 grams * 4kcal/g= 280 <span>kilo calorie</span>.
To find the percentage you will need to divide the total calorie diet with the protein calorie. The calculation would be:

protein percentage= protein calorie/ total calorie 
protein percentage= 280kcal / 2,000kcal = 14%

Colchicine is a toxin that binds to tubulin proteins and prevents microtubules from elongating. What effect might this have on d
lianna [129]

The effect Colchicine might have on dividing cells is that the duplicated chromosomes might not be able to segregate into daughter nuclei.

Colchicine is an alkaloid that attaches to tubulin and prevents it from polymerization to microtubules. As we know that Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton of a cell that aids in molecular mobility inside the cell.

During cell division, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, which are then connected to microtubules. The chromosomes are separated into daughter cells by microtubules.

When these cells are treated with colchicine, tubulin polymerization to microtubules may not occur, and the chromosomes containing daughter nucleic might not be separated.
