Biology
1 answer:
Neporo4naja [7]3 years ago
7 0

The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Functions of astrocytes include all of the following, except

A) performing repairs in damaged neural tissue.

B) guiding neuron development.

C) functioning in action potential transmission.

D) maintaining the blood-brain barrier.

E) creating a three-dimensional framework for the CNS.

Answer:

Functioning in action potential transmission.

Explanation:

Astrocytes may be defined as the glial type star shaped cells present in the central nervous system. They envelope the synapse and can function with millions of neuron at a time.

Astrocytes are involved in the structural support in the brain and can repair the damaged and wear nerves tissue. Their main function is acting as blood brain barrier. The action potential transmission is mainly done by neurons and not by the astrocytes cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

Which of the following are some examples of rapid environmental changes? Please select all that apply.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

fire

landslide

avalanche

Explanation:

Fire, landslides, and avalanches are the examples of rapid environmental changes because they are able to destroy or affect the structure of living organism in a particular area. For example, fires can destroy all forms of life within days. A recent event of wildfire in Austria killed more than 1 billion of animals. Similarly, landslides and avalanche are geological calamities that are caused by the movement of a large mass of rock debris or snow moving downhill. The living organisms living there would be killed and this process can diminsh many forms of life (multicellular eukaryotes) rapidly.

On the other hand, (ecological) succession is a very slow process that results into change or disappearance of living organisms or particular species or ecological community in an area. This process can take place over decadaes, thousands or million of years. It can also lead to the species extinction as well.

The __________ abuts the lumen of the alimentary canal and consists of epithelium
Misha Larkins [42]

Question is incomplete. Complete question is as follows:

The ____ abuts the lumen of the alimentary canal and consists of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae.

Answer:

Mucosa

Explanation:

Mucosa or mucosal membrane forms the lining of many cavities in the body like the alimentary canal and also covers many internal organs. It lines reproductive, digestive and respiratory system. In the gastrointestinal tract the mucosa is made of three layers: epithelium, lamina propria and muscularis mucosae.

The epithelium of mucosa is made of simple columnar epithelium cells. It consists of many types of cells like parietal cells (secrete HCL) and foveolar cells (secrete mucus). Lamina propria is a loose connective tissue present beneath the epithelium. It provides nutrition and support to epithelium. Muscularis mucosae has smooth muscle fibers which helps the glands on the surface to secrete their contents and also increase the contact between contents of lumen and epithelium.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Hydrological cycle: the continuous movement of water between the Earth's surface and the atmosphere.

2. Industry: pollutes water sources by dumping wastes in rivers, streams, and oceans.

3. Sewage: the leading cause of water contamination in countries without water treatment plants.

4. Agriculture: a source of water pollution caused by the overuse of pesticides and fertilizers.

5. Eutrophication: caused by an overabundance of organic matter in water supplies.

6. Putrefaction: the decomposition of organic matter by microorganisms

7. Pesticides: a chemical pollutant that can enter the water cycle through agricultural or domestic use.

8. Petroleum: can cause the contamination of underground water supplies if poured on the ground

9. Lead: a metal that leaks into water supplies via the soil or aging water systems.

10. Humoral immunity: depends upon the production of disease-specific antibodies to destroy harmful bacteria.

11. Stimulants: increases the activity of the central nervous system.

12. Depressants: reduces the activity of the central nervous system.

13. Bacterial infection: caused by the reproduction of a small infectious agent, which produces poisons that destroy cells
