Nitric oxide (no) participates in a signal transduction pathway that promotes relaxation of smooth muscle cells lining blood ves
timurjin [86]

Nitric oxide accomplishes this by elevating cGMP levels.

  • NO is a distinctive message. It is a gas, although it does dissolve in an aqueous solution.
  • It is a free radical with an unshared electron, which will react with thiol groups on proteins to form new complexes.
  • Unlike other second messengers, NO doesn't need energy to move inside and outside of cells. It can go where it wants, but it does not travel far because it is a reactive free radical.
  • NO acts within the cell that produces it as a second messenger. It operates as a paracrine molecule able to travel 10–20 cell diameters to affect the biology in surrounding cells. It can form complexes with proteins like hemoglobin, glutathione, and other proteins and then separate from those complexes.

Therefore, increasing cGMP levels is necessary.

The area of triangle LMN is 18 ft2 and the area of FGH is 24 ft2. If triangle LMN is equivalent to triangle FGH, what is the rat
Sedaia [141]

Answer:  Option 'C' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Area of triangle LMN = 18 ft²

Area of triangle FGH = 24 ft²

Since Δ LMN and ΔFGH is equivalent triangles.

As we know the theorem which states that ratio of areas of equivalent triangles is equal to square of ratio of corresponding sides.

So, it becomes,

\dfrac{\Delta LMN}{\Delta FGH}=(\dfrac{LM}{FG})^2\\\\\dfrac{18}{24}=(\dfrac{LM}{FG})^2\\\\\dfrac{3}{4}=(\dfrac{LM}{FG})^2\\\\\sqrt{\dfrac{3}{4}}=\dfrac{LM}{FG}\\\\\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\dfrac{LM}{FG}

Hence, Option 'C' is correct.
