Answer:

D. Activated platelets release chemicals that activate more platelets.

Explanation:

When a stimulus or a change in some condition triggers a response that intensifies the changing condition, the mechanism is called a positive feedback mechanism.

Any damage to tissues makes the platelets to contact and stick to parts such as collagen fibers of the connective tissue present under the damaged endothelial cells. This process of platelet adhesion activates the platelets and brings about changes in them. The activated platelets grow many projections to contact and interact with one another. They also release ADP and thromboxane A2 which in turn activates the nearby platelets. The ADP makes other platelets in the area sticky. The stickiness of the newly recruited and activated platelets causes them to join the originally activated platelets. Eventually, the accumulation and attachment of large numbers of platelets form a platelet plug.

Here, release of chemicals from the activated platlets to activate more platlets represents the positive feedback mechanism.

SashulF [63]

Answer:

E. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin

Explanation:

calcium ions bind to troponin, causing conformational changes in troponin that allow tropomyosin to move away from the myosin binding sites on actin. Once the tropomyosin is removed, a cross-bridge can form between actin and myosin, triggering contraction

Which of the following is an incorrect match? a. endocytosis – substances taken into the cell b. exocytosis – substances secrete
kogti [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is <em>c.pinocytosis – liquids secreted from the cell </em>

Explanation:

<em>Pinocytosis</em> is a type of endocytosis in which substances are internalized into the cell from the celullar exterior. The components are not secreted from the cell but are uptaken into the cell. This internalization process is characterized by the formation of an invagination of the cell membrane where then is formed a vesicle surrounding the component to be uptaken.
