Answer:

The false statement is C. The hamstrings are prime movers of hip (thigh) flexion and knee (leg) flexion.

Explanation:

The hamstrings are also called ischiosural or simply, femoral. They are the powerful and voluminous musculature that is located in the back of the thigh and that performs its action mainly on the knee, flexing it and also rotating it.

The hamstrings are made up of three muscles: the biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranous. In addition, the tendons are located at the back of the thigh and cross the hip and knee joints. As the hamstrings cross two joints, they have two actions, including knee flexion and hip extension, as well as hyperextension.

Describe how a faulty protein alters the movement of chloride ions across the cell membrane. How does this change in the cell me
Paladinen [302]
<h2>Problem of protein alters the movement of Ions </h2>

Explanation:

  • Proteins are tiny machines that do explicit occupations inside a cell. The directions for building every protein are encoded in DNA. Proteins are gathered from building squares called amino acids.  
  • The CFTR protein is comprised of 1,480 amino acids. When the CFTR protein chain is made, it is collapsed into a particular 3-D shape. The CFTR protein is formed like a cylinder that experiences the film encompassing the cell, similar to a straw experience the plastic top on a cup.
  • In individuals with CF, changes in the CFTR quality can cause the accompanying issues with the CFTR protein:  
  • It doesn't function admirably  
  • It isn't delivered in adequate amounts  
  • It isn't delivered in any way  
  • At the point when any of these issues happen, the chloride particles are caught inside the cell, and water is never again pulled in to the space outside the cell. When there is less water outside the cells, the bodily fluid in the aviation routes gets got dried out and thickens, making it smooth the cilia. The cilia can't clear appropriately when thick, clingy bodily fluid overloads them.

When did the Devonian period start and end?
lyudmila [28]
The Devonian Period was part of the better known Paleozoic Period. Some scientist think it was 416 million years ago.  It was the time of the great fish. It gets its name from when red rocks from Devon, England were also found in North America. It is believed that during this period parts of North America, Europe, Russia and Greenland crashed together making a new land mass. Scientists believe this period ended about 354 million years ago when land plants began to take over and much of what was an ocean disappeared.
