Fastest neurons can send impulses at miles per hour

Biology
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
8 0
The answer is 250 miles per hour.

To communicate, neurons send impulses to other neurons or muscle cells. Depending on the nature of information needed to be sent, some impulses are faster than the other. For example, if a person burns its hand, the information must be quickly sent to the central nervous system for quick reaction. Some impulses can achieve 250 miles per hour. But, for this, axon must be well insulated and very thick.

I have mutant cells that make no pfk2enzyme. i measure rates of oxygen consumption in these mutant cells and compare them to wil
Kazeer [188]

The correct answer is that mutant cells will exhibit diminished oxygen consumption; decreased glycolysis results in decreased Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain.

The PFK2 enzyme catalyzes the generation of F26BP, this binds with the allosteric site of PFK-1 and increases the affinity of PFK-1 with F6P and also decreases the affinity of allosteric inhibitors citrate and ATP to PFK-1. Thus, PFK-1 will combine with F6P at a greater rate.

This ultimately results in more glycolysis, thus, more ETC and more consumption of O2. If there is no PFK2, then there will be a reduction in glycolysis, TCA, ETC, and consumption of oxygen.

The PFK2 is an enzyme accountable for monitoring the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in the human body. In the absence of glycolysis, there will be a reduction in TCA, ETC, and consumption of O2.

spayn [35]

Pollution can come from both natural sources and human activities depending on the type of pollutant.

<h3>What is pollution?</h3>

It is the release of substances into the environment to the extent that the well-being of plants, animals, and humans starts getting affected.

Substances that are released into the environment to the extent that they start affecting the organisms in the environment negatively are known as pollutants.

Pollutants can come from natural sources or as a result of human activities.

For example pollutants such as oxides of sulfur, methane, carbon dioxide, etc. can come from natural processes such as volcanic eruptions, activities of microbes, etc.

Pollutants such as oxides of carbon and sulfur can also be generated as a result of human activities such as the burning of coal, technological inventions, etc.
