Answer:

The correct answer is option - C amino acids.

Explanation:

The blood brain barrier or BBB is border that separates extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS) and the blood that is circulating from the brain.

This barrier is allows the passage by facilitate diffusion (passive diffusion) and through the selective proteins of molecules such as glucose, amino acids that are essential for the neural function.

Thus, the correct answer is -  amino acids.

Answer:

c. Amino acids          

Explanation:

             BBB stands for the blood brain barrier. The proper functioning of the brain is meant by the amino acids. Amino acids are most necessary for  production of proteins which are essential for the working of any cell.

           In general antibodies and large polysaccharides like starch are too large and are not able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Whereas urea does not have specialized proteins and therefore they cannot enter the brain.

Hence the correct option is (c).

Quiz which condition could lead to drawdown below the level of existing wells?
irinina [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

Continuous pumping of water causes drawdown. The water table lowers rapidly.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Water table is the level below which the ground is saturated with water.
  • During rainfall the runoff water percolates into the ground through the gap in the soil particles and the water table is recharged.
  • But when gallons of water are pumped continuously it leads to a drastic reduction in the water table because, water from the surrounding aquifers move towards the place where the vacuum is created by pumping.
  • To prevent this, the groundwater should be recharged and over drawing should be avoided.

You are a molecule of water. Choose a starting point in the water cycle and describe the process you would go through to move th
Dvinal [7]
The water cycle is the continuous movement of water all around the Earth. The water cycle is like a big circle and doesn’t really have a starting point. There are 4 main stages involved in water cycle i.e. evaporation, condensation, precipitation and runoff. So, how does this cycle works? When the sun shines, the water from the ocean or lake evaporates due to heat from the sun. When it evaporates, it turns into water vapor and goes up into the atmosphere. This water vapor gets together with other water vapor and turns into a cloud. When clouds get dense, they drop the water back to Earth in some form of precipitation like rain, snow, hail or sleet. When the water falls back down to the Earth, they find their way on the ground surface into puddles, streams and rivers<span>. Again this water will evaporate and the whole cycle will start again.</span>
