At 20°C the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of polysaccharides functions at 1 reaction every 20 microseconds. If this enzyme

catalyzes hydrolysis reactions of a very long polysaccharide molecule for 120 microseconds, into how many segments would this long polysaccharide be cut?

4 0

Answer:

Seven segments

Explanation:

As given in the question -  

After every  twenty microseconds one reaction occurs i.e breakdown of polysaccharides.  

This means that after every  twenty microseconds the polysaccharides is broken down  

The total time for this hydrolysis reaction is  120 micro seconds

Thus , there will be six phases of division each after every  twenty microseconds

After 1st  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to two

After 2nd  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to three

After 3rd  twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to four

After 4th twenty  microseconds , total segments is equal to five

After 5th twenty  microseconds , total segments is equal to six

After 6th twenty microseconds , total segments is equal to seven

Korolek [52]

Hello!! Since there is no mention of weight in the question, I would assume that she is pregnant. Whenever someone's blood pressure is low, it is referred to hypotension. Whenever someone's blood pressure is high, it is referred to hypertension. I would say your best answer is A - She has hypotension because she is pregnant. I hope that is the right answer you are looking for. Have a great day!! :)

_The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of
Hoochie [10]

Complete question:

The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K

  • True
  • False

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.

Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.

Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.

K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.

Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.
