Answer;

Parasympathetic nervous system Sympathetic nervous system

Introduction The parasympathetic nervous system is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general function is to control homeostasis and the body's rest-and-digest response. The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Its general action is to mobilize the body's fight-or-flight response.

Function Control the body's response while at rest. Control the body's response during perceived threat.

Originates in Sacral region of spinal cord, medulla, cranial nerves 3, 7, 9, and 10 Thoracic and lumbar regions of spinal cord

Activates response of Rest and digest Fight-or-flight

Neuron Pathways Longer pathways, slower system Very short neurons, faster system

General Body Response Counterbalance; restores body to state of calm. Body speeds up, tenses up, becomes more alert. Functions not critical to survival shut down.

Cardiovascular System (heart rate) Decreases heart rate Increases contraction, heart rate

Pulmonary System (lungs) Bronchial tubes constrict Bronchial tubes dilate

Musculoskeletal System Muscles relax Muscles contract

Pupils Constrict Dilate

Gastrointestinal System Increases stomach movement and secretions Decreases stomach movement and secretions

Salivary Glands Saliva production increases Saliva production decreases

Adrenal Gland No involvement Releases adrenaline

Glycogen to Glucose Conversion No involvement Increases; converts glycogen to glucose for muscle energy

Urinary Response Increase in urinary output Decrease in urinary output

Neurotransmitters neurons are cholinergic: acetylcholine neurons are mostly adrenergic: epinephrine / norepinephrine (acetylcholine)

Indicate how pH and temperature affect the activity of an enzyme. (Choose all that apply)
9966 [12]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Great variations in temperature and pH from the optimum that an enzyme needs can affect its function. pH affects ionization of the functional groups of amino acids. The interaction of charges of these amino groups helps in stabilizing loops such as those of beta sheets and alpha helices and give the protein its an appropriate shape to function.

Temperatures, on the other hand, while it does not change the ionization of the functional side groups of amino acids, it breaks these bonds of the interactions by giving the molecules enough energy to break free from these bonds hence denaturing the protein.

If the offspring of a cross between two autosomal traits show a phenotypic ratio of 0 dom/dom : 0 dom/rec : 1 rec/dom : 1 rec/re
Elis [28]
The parents are of genotype heterozygous dominant and homozygous recessive. Supposing the dominant allele is N and the recessive allele is n, one of the parents will be Nn while the other nn. The phenotypic (based on visible characteristics) ratio will be 1:1 for dom/rec and rec/rec as indicated in the  diagram below.
