Who is most at risk of spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative disorders?

Biology
1 answer:
miskamm [114]3 years ago
6 0

Elderly people are most at risk from minor trauma that results in serious spinal cord injury because of preexisting degenerative vertebral disorders. Males are more prone to spinal cord injuries than females but not as a result of preexisting disorder. This may be related to an increased involvement in contact sports or a propensity to participate in high risk activities. Neither females nor infants are at any particular risk for spinal cord injuries.

Which of the following statements about the import of protein to the nucleus is correct? Choose all that apply.
dem82 [27]

The correct statements are:

•An NLS can be a monopartite or bipartite signal which includes a significant number of basic amino acids.

• The recycling of importins back to their original conformation requires GTP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm.

The other answers are incorrect because GTP is not required for an importin to bind to an NLS but for the release of importin and an NES or nuclear export signal  is the sequence  in a protein for export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, not to the nucleolus.

Eating is important to your body because molecules in food contain_________ energy that cells use to produce ATP and it also sup
oee [108]


Food molecules contain chemical energy which is released when its chemical bonds are broken.

Food undergoes  digestion in the digestive system and is broken down into its monomer units. Carbohydrates, which are the principal source of energy, are broken down into glucose. Glucose is the monomer unit of carbohydrates.

Glucose then is taken up by cells and is used in cellular respiration, which involves three main stages namely glycolysis, Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain, through which a glucose molecule is processed to form at least 36 molecules of ATP.

ATP is the form of energy that cells use.

Gel electrophoresis separates dna fragments on the basis of differences in their ______. a:c ratio
KengaRu [80]
The answer is length.

A gel electrophoresis is used for separation of DNA or its fragments on the basis of differences in their length. An electric current is running through the gel with positive pole on the bottom. Because of the difference in the lengths of DNA fragments, some <span>of them </span>will travel more quickly than other. It is expected to see smaller DNA fragments at the bottom of the gel and larger DNA fragments near to the top of the gel.
