Xenografts are tissue grafts harvested from a different animal species.
Answer:
The correct answer is: The ventromedial hypothalamus plays a role in satiety.
Explanation:
The hypothalamus is a part of the brain that controls many important bodily functions and connects both the nervous system with the endocrine system. The hypothalamus consists of several nuclei that have diverse functions and are located in 3 different regions.
The nucleus that plays a role in satiety is the ventromedial nucleus, terminating hunger and giving a sensation of fullness. It also plays a significant role in thermoregulation, among other things.
Neuropeptide Y, on the other hand, is a peptide that is released to make us feel hungry and encourage us to intake food (primarily carbohydrates).
Cholecystokinin is a hormone released by the small intestines after we had a meal, and its function is to improve digestion and make us feel full.
Fat cells DO release leptin, but the function of this hormone is to produce satiety, by stimulating anorexigenic (meaning they take hunger away) hormones and inhibiting orexigenic ones, like Neuropeptide Y.
C. The Bering Land Bridge once connected what would be Russia and North America but the the movement of these continents separated the land bridge
Answer:
a. Endocytosis involves the opsonization of a receptor and its ligand in clathrin-coated vesicles, along with the inward budding of the plasma membrane. In exocytosis, waste material is enveloped in a membrane that fuses with the interior of the plasma membrane via attachment proteins.
Explanation:
Endocytosis: entails the external binding of a ligand to its receptor which is located on the external side of the plasma membrane. The membrane buds inwardly for internalization to occur.
Exocytosis: material that has been processed inside the cell is transported by vesicles which fuse to the internal side of the plasma membrane and ultimately transported to the outside of the cell.
Answer:
The inside is becoming positive.
Explanation:
The membrane potential may be defined as the difference in the electric potential between the outside and inside of the cell. This potential difference is important for the conduction of nerve impulse.
The depolarization of the cell occur due to the movement of sodium ions inside the cell. The depolarization of the cell changes the membrane potential from -70mV to +30mV. The inside of the cell become more positive than outside of the cell.
Thus, the correct answer is option (a).
