d
Explanation:
measures hydrogen ion concentration
The pH of a solution is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution. A solution with a high number of hydrogen ions is acidic and has a low pH value. A solution with a high number of hydroxide ions is basic and has a high pH value. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH of 7 being neutral.
Answer:
The correct answer is - per gram, the marathon runner's muscles would contain more myoglobin than the sprinter's muscles.
Explanation:
Marathon runners have smaller leg muscles and thinner quads and calves as marathon runners require slow-twitch muscles while in sprinters the fast-twitch muscle requires. Slow-twitch muscles of marathon runners have more amount of myoglobin, per gram than fast-twitch muscles.
Myoglobin acts as local oxygen storage that provides oxygen to the muscles in case of less oxygen supply than required temporarily and a marathon race is an intense exercise or activity that requires more oxygen.
Phospholipids are the substance/structure that is the building block of the cell membrane. Without phospholipids, we wouldn't even have a cell membrane and wouldn't really have any way how to shield and guard or control th epassage of substances across the cell surface. The cell membrane is at the same time partially permeable; this means it will let certain ions that can be found in the intra and extracellular fluid in and out, while others will be kept from moving so freely.

Answer:
Self-antigens are not recognized and attacked by the T cells.
Explanation:
In immunology, the antigens are those substances which are bound by the antibodies. The antigens can be originated from within the bodies, known as self antigens or from outside the body, known as non-self antigens. The immune system identifies and attacks non-self invaders or the foreign harmful objects present in the body. It does not attack the self-antigens under the normal conditions. This is due to the negative selection of T cells of the thymus.
