Which of the following statements about cellular aging is true?

Biology
1 answer:
Mkey [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

a. Damage is caused by free radicals that slow down the cell-duplication process.

c. Aging may be caused by the inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly.

Explanation:

The free radical theory of aging states that aging is caused by accumulation of damage inflicted by reactive oxygen species (free radicals).  It proposes that organisms age because they accumulate oxidative damage, Now,this damage comes from reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are partially reduced metabolites of molecular oxygen (free radicals) generated as products of metabolic reactions. Thus,  these free radicals cause damage that slow down the cell-duplication process.

Also, Aging may be caused by the inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly. (SENESCENCE).

When senescence occurs (i.e inevitable loss of the ability of cells to duplicate perfectly) there is  progressive deterioration of physiological function, an intrinsic age-related process of loss of viability and increase in vulnerability of cells.

Answer:

The rate of reaction will increase

Explanation:

Temperature is known to affect the rate of the reaction. Generally, chemical reactions depend on thermal activation. It means that an increase in temperature also increases the kinetic energy of the reactants. Increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate due to the increase in the number of molecular collisions between reactant molecules. The speed of a particle is directly related to its kinetic energy and thereby an increase in temperature also results in an increase in the amount of collisions between molecules per unit of time.

sesenic [268]
As for the pimples that are generated in the hair follicles. <span>The overproduction of sebum resulting from the hormonal changes that Scott is experiencing is the initial event responsible for his acne. P. acnes is able to utilize the glycerol in sebum for fuel; in the process of doing so, it produces free fatty acids. These fatty acids lead to the production of inflammatory cytokines, which lead to vasodilation and increased vessel permeability. These changes allow for immune cells to move into the follicle. As the immune cells work to eliminate P. acnes, dead cells, bacterial waste, and pressure (from the massive influx of cells) will build. This ultimately distends the follicle. If great enough, this buildup will be visible on the skin as a pus-containing papule.</span>

NemiM [27]

Answer: Option B - There are more than four genes that determine this trait.

Explanation:

The tobacco plant species have its leaf colour with characteristics that changes gradually over a range of values, which refers to continuous variation.

Note that continuous variation keep expressing gene variants in successive generations of the tobacco plants, that differs from the parents. So, there are MORE THAN four genes controling the expression of varying phenotypes in the leaves
