Answer:
The correct answer is A. Effectively, aldosterone is synthesized from cholesterol.
Explanation:
Aldosterone is a steroid hormone from the mineralocorticoid family, synthesized in the glomerular area of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal gland. It acts in the conservation of sodium, in the secretion of potassium and in the increase of blood pressure. Its secretion is decreased in Addison's disease and increased in Conn's syndrome. Aldosterone, as well as all steroid hormones, is synthesized from cholesterol.
Answer:
The correct answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell
Explanation:
A bacteria is called transformed when it consist a genetic material that is not it's own but taken from outside the cell. So transformation of bacterial cell defines the uptake of foreign DNA by bacterial cell from its surrounding.
This transformation in bacteria is necessary because it provides bacteria some new and extra genes that help it to survive in the adverse and changing environment.
Transformation can result in getting the antibiotic-resistant gene to the bacteria which protect the bacteria from antibiotics during infection when antibiotic is used against it.
So the right answer is D) assimilation of external DNA into a cell.
Answer:
Adrian's adaptive immune system remembered the antigens from the virus. so he becomes immune to it.
Explanation:
Answer:
Sarcomere
Explanation:
The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.
In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.
In I-band 2 Z-lines are located. The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.
When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.
