Answer:

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease caused by infection of the X-Chromosome. Males have only one copy of the X chromosome from their mother and one copy of the Y chromosome from their father. If their X chromosome has a DMD gene mutation, they will have Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Females have two copies of the X chromosomes. Since females have two copies of this gene, if one copy does not work, they have a second back up copy to produce the dystrophin protein. People with Duchenne muscular dystrophy do not make the dystrophin protein in their muscles. DMD affects the muscles, leading to muscle wasting that gets worse over time.

Which capillary would be least likely to allow substances to enter or exit the blood due to tight junctions that join the endoth
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Those capillaries that have endothelial cells tightly attached have an increase in cell-to-cell junctions, such as desmosomal junctions that are poorly permeable to substances.

These capillaries generally function as conductors or collectors and not as permeabilizers like the pulmonary capillaries that are fenestrated and allow a high passage of substances and gases.

The capillaries are waterproof and prevent the passage of substances or fluids such as in the blood-brain barrier that is very selective

Explanation:

The blood-brain barrier is too selective since it is not favorable for the organism that many fluids, drugs, substances or chemical compounds enter the brain space.

This is the reason why the vessels are waterproof and why pharmacology was challenged to invent drugs that could cross this barrier since it was considered impossible.

An example is dopamine, which in parkynson's disease the levo group is added to dopamine, thus forming levodopamine as a product, this is the only way that the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier and can pass the impermeable barrier generated by capillaries with endothelial cells that are close to each other or closely linked

Which type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant? positive reinforcer negative punisher positive
Zolol [24]

The type of stimulus following a behavior removes something that is unpleasant is the negative reinforcer.

Stimulus is any signal. This can be in the form of touch, smell, taste, etc. This stimulus triggers the nerve cells of the body that send to signals to the brain to generate a response. For example, when one person touches a hot utensil, the touch of heat acts as a stimulus, where the brain sends response in the form of instantly removal of the hand.

Negative reinforcement is the response towards a stimuli that has not yet been received. For example, taking a medicine before any disease appears  is the acts of negative reinforcement.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration;this is the process of breaking down of glucose  <u>with Oxygen</u> to generate energy  as ATPs in living cells

Location- Matrix  and inner membranes of mitochondria

Energy source_oxidative phosphorylation of glucose

Waste product-water( oxygen accept the final electron to form water)

.

38 ATPs from 1 glucose molecule

Explanation:

Photosynthesis; this is the process of reducing C02 with hydrogen ion, from water  i<u>n the presence of  sunlight , enzymes and green pigment chlorophyll</u> to form <u>glucose</u>

Location- stroma and thylakoid membranes of chloroplast

Energy source-photo-phosphorylation(sunlight)

Waste product-Oxygen

18ATPs
