Corticosteroids

<span>Corticosteroids are hormone produced by the body or pharmaceutically manufactured, used for the variety of inflammatory and non-inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, allergic reactions, asthma, skin rashes. However, the use of Corticosteroids help to regulate autoimmune activity and they act by as immune inhibitors by suppressing autoimmune attacks which are caused by inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis.</span>

Which best describes independent assortment?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up randomly along the middle of the cell.

Explanation:

In diploid (2n) organisms, the homologous chromosomes are the two copies of each chromosome, where one of these homologs is the chromosome from the mother, while the second one is from the father. During metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes pair together at the middle of the cell. The law of independent assortment, also known as or Mendel's Second Law, states that homologous chromosomes line up in random orientations at the metaphase plate during this period (metaphase I).

3) identify and describe three abiotic characteristics of ecosystems. Give an example of how each
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The abiotic characteristics of an ecosystem that affects man includes: Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity.

Explanation:

In the ecosystem, man occupies the terrestrial habitat which is affected by the abiotic factors listed above.

Abiotic (non- living) factors determine the type of biotic (living) community that is found in an ecosystem. These factors include Land surface, rainfall and relative humidity, just to mention a few.

--> LAND SURFACE: This is responsible for the marked variation in the vegetation of a place. For example, a mountain in the tropics may have a rain forest vegetation at it's base and an afroalpine vegetation near its peak. The gradient of the slope affects the growth of organisms. A steep slope encourage fast run - off of water and therefore encourages erosion, which results in shallow and infertile soil. This in turn AFFECT man's farming activities as there would be little to no crop yield.

--> RAINFALL: Water is a very important abiotic factor that affects life. The main source of water to terrestrial habitat is rainfall. When rain falls, a greater percentage of it sinks into the soil while the rest run- off into water bodies. Water is absorbed by root hairs into the plant and used for photosynthesis to produce food. The absence of rainfall in the environment of man could lead to drought which AFFECTS man negatively.

--> RELATIVE HUMIDITY: This is a measure of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere. It's usually high in hot wet regions. It affects the rate at which water evaporates from the body surfaces of organisms. Low relative humidity cause more water (sweat) to evaporate from body surfaces giving the human body a cooling effect. But in high relative humidity, the sweat cannot evaporate leaving the body feeling hot and sticky. This AFFECTS man as the body tries to cool off in a harder way by increasing rate of respiration and depth of blood circulation.

Which of the following statements is most correct regarding the intracellular chemical signals known as "second messengers"? Sel
Mila [183]

Answer:

Cyclic AMP and calcium may be second messengers.

Explanation:

these are signalling molecules that are located inside the cells,They are releases  when cells   are in contact with  signals from an extracellular molecule. the extracellular molecules that cause the chemical  reaction  in an external environment  in the second messenger are called first messenger.

<u>the basic mechanisms of second messenger involve the binding of ligands to the cell membrane receptors( usually a trans membrane protein).causing   conformational  change in the receptor protein. The latter change affect the structural and functional activities of the receptors protein with a consequent  production of second messenger,</u>

<u />

Response of the cells  to the first messenger my cause different form of cellular reactions; the cells may  undergo depolarization  with influx of out flux of ions, differentiate to specialized cells  or migrate to another location.

Examples of first messenger are hormones and neurotransmitters, while calcium ions, cyclic GMP,AMP, diaclyglycerol are examples of first messengers.

Most first messengers are peptide hormones.Some may be streroid, However, the hydrophilic nature of the peptide hormone restrict their movement, at the cell membranes. Therefore most first messengers made of  peptide  are first converted to second messenger to  bring about their signalling effects.The usually mark the beginning of cascade events by second messengers.

Second messengers are usually classified based on their polarity and molecular form this include the

<u> hydrophobic molecules</u> ;diacyglecerol,phosphatdylinotisols. These diffuse  through the membrane  into intramembrane space of cells cause signalling effects in the cell.

<u>the hydrophiliic  molecul</u>es  are  located in the cystol  of cells. Example are  Cylic AMP. GMP, Calcium,

N02, CO,H2S are <u>polar molecules</u> that easily diffuse into the cells to cause signalling effects, they are the third Classification of second messengers.

the is the thin layer of the mucosa responsible for pulling the mucosa into its many folds which increases the surface area of t
krek1111 [17]

yes, Muscularis  mucosa - The stomach and small intestine's mucosa are pulled into undulating folds by a thin layer of smooth muscle that is constantly tensed. The surface area that is available for digestion and absorption is significantly increased by these folds.

The submucosa is located directly beneath the mucosa, as its name suggests. It joins the underlying muscularis to the overlaying mucosa by way of a large layer of dense connective tissue. It has blood and lymphatic vessels (which carry nutrients that have been absorbed), as well as a few submucosal glands that secrete digestive juices. Additionally, it functions as a passageway for the submucosal plexus, a densely branched network of nerves.

These layers compress to encourage mechanical digestion, expose more of the food to the chemicals that aid in digestion, and transport the food along the canal.
