Blood pressure results from the force of blood fluids pressing against the walls of blood vessels. Hypertension, or high blood p

ressure, is often caused by a constriction of the blood vessels by fatty deposits in artery walls. However, another cause of high blood pressure can be the intake of too much sodium in foods and table salt.
Why would too much salt intake cause someone to develop high blood pressure?

Usimov [2.4K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Phloem

B. Xylem

C. Apical meristem

D. Root cap

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Root cap

Explanation:

The plant growth takes place not only above the surface but below the surface also in the roots. Roots continually grow to absorb more water and nutrients to support the growth of the plant.

The roots are protected by a layer of protective cells forming a structure called root cap below the root. The root cap protects the roots, secretes a substance which helps the growth of the root and the sense gravity.

In the given question since the roots are not able to grow therefore the damaged part will be the root cap.

Thus, the root cap is the correct answer.

REY [17]
The correct response is this: NATURAL SELECTION FAVORED THE EVOLUTION OF LARGER BRAINS, THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE BENEFITS OF LARGE BRAIN OUTWEIGHS THE COSTS.
In fossils record, the shift from Australopithecus to homo is characterized by larger body and brain sizes and all through subsequent evolution, brain size has to continue to get bigger. The possession of large brain make man to be much more advanced in thinking than all other animals.

HELP!!!! Restriction maps illustrate the lengths of DNA fragments between restriction sites. Which of the following information
balandron [24]
The wording of this is confusing. I think it’s A and B and I’m hesitant say that it’s also C but only if you know the mutation and the gene.

Also for A you would only know a partial sequence of the gene.

Metabolic pathways can be controlled through the availability of enzymes and modulation of their catalytic activities. Enzyme av
postnew [5]

Answer: a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification

Explanation:

Metabolic pathways involve all the chemical processes takes place in the enviornment or in an organisms.The metabolic pathways are controlled through the catalytic activities of enzymes.

The availability of enzyme is regulated  by substrate and cofactors present in enzyme and enzyme activity is commonly regulated via covalent modification.

Enzymes are highly selective in nature and bind to a specific substarte only. The active site in enzyme binds with the substrate to form enzyme substrate complex. Coactors assist the enzyme activity, without cofactor enzyme can not perform its activity.

Hence enzyme availibility is regulated by  substrate and cofactors regulates.

Covalent modifications regulates activity of enzyme as it involves addition and removal of chemical group to synthesis required protein. It can change the chemical properties of the site by targeting one or multiple amino acid.

Thus the correct answer is a) substrate and cofactors b) covalent modification
