Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

In the past, scientists believed that DNA was stored in proteins. Today we know that this is not true. The DNA is stored in the cell nucleus.

Proteins have an extensive list of functions in the body and are found in all cell structures, interstitial substances, antibodies, among others. Among the functions that can be attributed to proteins, its role in transporting oxygen (hemoglobin), in protecting the body against pathogenic organisms (antibodies), as a catalyst for chemical reactions (enzymes), membrane receptor, acting in contraction muscle (actin and myosin), besides being fundamental for the growth and formation of hormones.

an organism that uses that uses hydrogen sulfide as a source of energy is categorized as which of the following ​
Shkiper50 [21]
In biochemistry, chemosynthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy, rather than sunlight, as in photosynthesis. Chemoautotrophs, organisms that obtain carbon through chemosynthesis, are phylogenetically diverse, but also groups that include conspicuous or biogeochemically-important taxa include the sulfur-oxidizing gamma and epsilon proteobacteria, the Aquificae, the methanogenic archaea and the neutrophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.

Many microorganisms in dark regions of the oceans use chemosynthesis to produce biomass from single carbon molecules. Two categories can be distinguished. In the rare sites at which hydrogen molecules (H2) are available, the energy available from the reaction between CO2 and H2 (leading to production of methane, CH4) can be large enough to drive the production of biomass. Alternatively, in most oceanic environments, energy for chemosynthesis derives from reactions in which substances such as hydrogen sulfide or ammonia are oxidized. This may occur with or without the presence of oxygen.

Many chemosynthetic microorganisms are consumed by other organisms in the ocean, and symbiotic associations between chemosynthesizers and respiring heterotrophs are quite common. Large populations of animals can be supported by chemosynthetic secondary production at hydrothermal vents, methane clathrates, cold seeps, whale falls, and isolated cave water.

It has been hypothesized that chemosynthesis may support life below the surface of Mars, Jupiter's moon Europa, and other planets.[1] Chemosynthesis may have also been the first type of metabolism that evolved on Earth, leading the way for cellular respiration and photosynthesis to develop later.

Applying a drug which blocks the absorption of NE into the adrenergic nerve terminal will result in:
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

A. Increased sympathetic responses

Explanation:

It results from an obstruction in the retake of NE to the nerve terminal which causes more NE to accumulates in the synapse which leads to further production of the adrenergic receptors on the tissue membrane has produced by the neuron.

This adrenergic receptors act in response to signals released by sympathetic nervous system causing an increased sympathetic response.
