Stels [109]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The answer is the 2nd picture: the coccyx bone in humans.

Explanation:

Vestigial Structure:

Structures or anatomical features that do not currently serve a function is the bodily processes of a living organism. Vestiges are believed to have performed active functions in the organism's ancestors throughout its evolutionary history.

Coccyx Bone:

The coccyx or tailbone is an evolutionary remnant of our tree dwelling ancestors. Coccyx has no use in modern humans as we do not need to climb trees.

The coccyx in modern humans serves as an anchor for muscles.

What happens as a result of ion flow at a presynaptic terminal?
Anarel [89]

The correct answer is: Release of neurotrasmitters from the synaptic vesicles  

Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine), Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells.

Microtubules are typically _______ in diameter.
jeyben [28]

Answer:

25nm

Explanation:

Microtubules are polymers of tubulin and they are part of the cytoskeleton. The roles of the microtubules are to maintain the shape and structure of the cell, intracellular transport, they are structural part of the cilia an flagella, they are involved in cell division etc.

Tubulin that is the basic unit of microtubules is composed of two globular proteins, alpha and beta tubulin. Alpha and beta subunits sponta­neously form dimers which then assemble into oligomers, then in chains (protofilaments); that can form a variety of intermediate structures such as single and double rings or spirals. Protofilaments that associate side-by-side  form sheets of protofilaments which then curle to form a tube or cylinder (closing of microtubule). Continued growth of microtubules occurs by the di­rect addition of more dimers on + side.

Most antibiotics work best on actively growing bacteria. At which phase are bacteria most susceptible to the actions of these an
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is- log phase

Explanation:

Most antibiotics work on actively growing bacteria and the log phase is the phase when bacteria is metabolically most active and actively divide. Bacteria is most susceptible to antibiotics in log phase because the target of most antibiotic is cell wall,  protein, DNA and in log phase new proteins, DNA and cell wall is actively synthesized in large amount.

Therefore antibiotics get their target easily during the log phase of bacteria which allows the bacteria to become most sensitive towards antibiotics in this phase. Therefore the right answer is log phase.
