These medicines are called antisecretory because they work by blocking the acid secretion of the stomach.

This is the case of the H2 antihistamine (such as Cimetidine) which has a rapid action (approximately 1 hour) but longer than an antacid.

When symptoms are frequent, occurring more than once a week, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) (such as Omeprazole), antisecretory agents of potent and prolonged action (at least 24 hours), constitute the treatment of choice.

Explanation:

A medication that increases the pH of the stomach and makes it alkaline is actually helping in neutralizing the acid forming in the stomach.

When there is excess of acid into the stomach then intake of a base helps in balancing the excess of acid by providing suitable amount of hydroxide ions.

Thus, we can conclude that this medication will have a neutralizing effect.

Which of the following are characteristics of archaeal cell membranes that probably help them survive at very high temperatures?
torisob [31]

Answer:

Option-B, C and E

Explanation:

Archaebacteria are a group of prokaryotes which can survive the extreme conditions. The archaebacteria which can survive very high temperature are called hyperthermophiles. The hyperthermophilic bacteria can survive temperature range between 70 t 125 °C observed in hydrothermal vents.

The archaea bacteria can withstand the high temperature as their membrane is adaptive. The membrane of the archaea is more stable due to the ether linkage which makes carbon less chemically reactive. The phospholipids possess a monolayer which decreases the layer fluidity and thus the unwanted movement of molecules.

The archaea also contain cyclopentane rings in the ester-linked phospholipids which allows tight pacing of the molecules which decrease the movement of solute into and out of the cell.

Thus, the selected options are correct.

A goal of using animal models is to explain the molecular detail of specific behaviors encoded in the human brain. How would you
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It is possible to compare the expression of homologous genes in the brain of <em>D. melanoganster</em> and humans, because the expression levels of conserved genes may be associated with the evolution of cognitive features such as complex learning and memory.  

Explanation:

Model organisms can be used to understand the patterns and processes that affect human evolution. <em>Drosophila melanogaster </em>is a model organism that has been used to study expression patterns of conserved genes in the course of evolution. This model organism has also been used to develop genetic mutant lines in order to examine the role of genes evolutionarily conserved in animals, including those involved in neurocognitive development.

In genetic research, an experiment as the above described is framed in a research field named 'Behavioral Genetics', which is a discipline that studies how evolutionarily conserved gene networks may be associated with neurocognitive tasks during brain evolution.
