Answer: Medicines based on chemical compounds occurring in the marine environment.

Explanation:

Marine biotechnology is the sub-discipline of the field of biotechnology which deals with the application of cell biology, molecular biology and biotechnology. It is linked with the exploration of the ocean at the surface and the seafloor. It is connected to the study of marine animals and plants and also the non-living components of the marine environment such as sand, water and rocks. So as to derive chemical compounds from them to produce cosmetic products, drugs and medicine. It also deals with the improvement in the  aquaculture and seafood production, preparation of biofuels from the marine animals and plants.  

Among the options given Medicines based on chemical compounds occurring in the marine environment. is the correct one as it involves the use of chemical compounds from marine animals, plants and even the debris of the seafloor so as to produce medicine. Hence, it involves the implementation of biotechnology for medical science.

What are marine sponges compossed of
OleMash [197]
Sponges are similar to other animals in that they are multicellular, heterotrophic, lack cell walls and produce sperm cells. Unlike other animals, they lack true tissues and organs, and have no body symmetry. The shapes of their bodies are adapted for maximal efficiency of water flow through the central cavity, where it deposits nutrients, and leaves through a hole called the osculum. Many sponges have internal skeletons of spongin and/or spicules of calcium carbonate or silicon dioxide. All sponges are sessile aquatic animals. Although there are freshwater species, the great majority are marine (salt water) species, ranging from tidal zones to depths exceeding 8,800 m (5.5 mi).

PolarNik [594]

The best answer is C


The process by which a cell divides is called mitosis. It results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original cell.

Multicellular organisms,  depend on mitosis for growth and repair. Organisms repair some of their tissues  using mitosis to regenerate new cells. Not all cells undergo mitosis at the same rate. In man, brain cells are much more difficult to regenerate than cheek cells which are constantly being replaced.

ction potentials typically move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body. This is due to which of the following
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "the temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike".

Explanation:

Action potentials, also known as "spikes" or "impulses", are electric impulses that neurons use to send information from the cell's body down to the axon. The impulses are created when ions travel across the neuron's membrane creating a depolarization current. This depolarization current is responsible for an temporary hyperpolarization of the axon membrane following the action potential spike. When neurons are hyperpolarized they are not able to produce another action potential. In consequence, actions potentials move in one direction along the neuron away from the cell body, as well as, adjacent locations go trough similar depolarization processes.
