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).

Why do living things sleep
Tju [1.3M]
There are many theories about why living thins sleep, however, scientists are still unsure about what the answer to this question may be. Some say it is because of its restorative powers - after a good night's sleep, you feel rested, and all your brain and bodily functions work better than when you are exhausted. During sleep, some rejuvenating and growth hormones are created, which again adds to our advantage. You also relieve stress that has accumulated during the day. These are some of the reasons why we have to sleep.

What would be the expected effect on plants if the atmospheric CO2 concentration was doubled? What would be the expected effect
Elis [28]

Answer:

C3 plants would have faster growth rates; C4 plants would be minimally affected.

Explanation:

C3 and C4 pathways are the variations of dark reactions of photosynthesis present in green plants. The photosynthetic efficiency of C3 plants is reduced due to the affinity of RuBisCo enzyme for oxygen which in turn leads to the futile pathway of photorespiration. RuBisCo enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting reaction of the C3 pathway. On the other hand, the C4 plants concentrate CO2 around RuBisCo in their bundle sheath cells of leaves to minimize photorespiration and exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis.

Increased levels of atmospheric CO2 would reduce the photorespiration in C3 plants and would allow them to fix CO2 efficiently due to the increased concentration of CO2 around the enzyme RuBisCo. The increased photosynthetic efficiency would help these plants to exhibit faster growth rates.

However, the photosynthetic rate of C4 plants is not limited by CO2 concentration as they themselves reduce photorespiration by spatial separation of primary carboxylation in mesophyll cell and CO2 fixation in bundle sheath cells. Hence, increased CO2 levels in the atmosphere would not have any impact on their photosynthetic rate and growth.
