Which energy source would you expect to be depleted first during continuous contractions caused by the tetanus toxin?

Biology

The answer is: ATP generated by oxidative or aerobic catabolism

Tetanus causes the continuous contraction of muscles, a condition known as rhabdomyolysis, that leads to depletion of oxygen in the body. Without that oxygen, the mitochondria in our cells can't make aerobic respiration, which produces a lot of ATP molecules. That's the reason why ATP is depleted.

Which statement is supported by the cladogram?
fgiga [73]

A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called a phylogeny.

In this set of examples the answer is:

D) The lamprey does not have a vertical column

Lampreys have a notochord that remains throughout life, but they have primitive vertebrae made of cartilage. Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling the vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates. Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region.

2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) is a weak acid that can diffuse across lipid membranes. When added to eukaryotic cells, DNP can enter th
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

a. In the presence of 2,4 dinitrophenol, which is soluble through the lipid membranes, the H+ gets an another route to pass through the membrane. It hampers the proton gradient potential without any generation of ATP. The gradient that was being utilized for the generation of energy is now just lost in the form of heat.  

b. With the reduction in the generation of energy, the cells get devoid of ATP, and drive the electron transport chain intensely so that the collapsing proton gradient gets re-established. However, it prevents the ATP synthase by providing a different path to the proton ions and thus diminishing the H+ concentration gradient.

In the field, you observe a lion chase, kill, and eat a gazele. A vulture pecks away at the left over meat scraps. Beetles attac
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

the order would be:

Carnivorous animal -> scavenger animal ---> autonomous living organism ---> decomposing organisms.

Explanation:

The lion would be the carnivore, the bird that eats the waste of dead meat would be the scavenger, the vegetable the autonomous, since it does not require an external energy source to live but synthesizes its own energy and finally the decomposers fulfill the function to decompose chemical compounds to give energy to the earth, which would be useful for the growth of other living organisms. This is how the chain meets the cycle of life.
