Answer:

Nitrogenous bases have two distinct families known as purines and pyrimidine, nitrogenous are the building blocks or monomer units of the nucleic acids.

The major and significant difference between purines and pyrimidines is the difference in their structures-

The purines are divided into two different bases called adenine and guanine and each of them have a two-ringed structure formed with a 9-membered molecule and 4 nitrogen atoms which makes it a large in size than purines.

The pyrimidines are divided into 3 bases that are cytosine, uracil, and thymine and all these have only one single ring of six members and 2 nitrogen atoms. These are smaller in size.

Question: Impulses originating in the part of the brain called the medulla would most directly affect which body structure?

a. A leg muscle

b. A ligament

c. An arm bone

d. The heart

Answer:

d. The heart

Explanation:

The medulla oblongata contains a number of reflex centers for regulating vital body functions such as heartbeat, breathing, and vasoconstriction. The medulla contains several nuclei, a collection of neuronal cell bodies.

For example, impulses originated in the cardiovascular center regulates the rate and force of the heartbeat and the diameter of blood vessels. Impulses from the cardiovascular center flow along sympathetic and parasympathetic neurons. An increase in sympathetic stimulation from the cardiovascular center of medulla increases heart rate and contractility while a decrease in sympathetic stimulation decreases heart rate and contractility.

The "supplement facts" panel on dietary supplements resembles the ________________ ________________ and is required on all dieta

olasank [31]

The supplementary fact panel is used for the dietary supplements. This supplement fact panel on the dietary supplements is similar to the nutritional fact panel, which is present on most of the packaged products. The supplementary fact panel denotes the information about the beverage and the benefits of the product are listed under it too.

Hence, the answer is 'nutritional facts on foods'.
