Answer:

prolongs the anesthetic effect of the drug

Explanation:

The epinephrine acts as a vasoconstrictor agent to some local anesthetic drugs. The systemic absorption slows down with the addition of 5 micrograms per mL of epinephrine. The epinephrine enhances the anesthetic effect of the drugs. It act as a adjuvant in local anesthetic drugs. The adjuvant increases the effect of immune response. The epinephrine also act as drug for anaphylactic reaction during emergency. The dopamine receptors are present in CNS. The epinephrine is not involved in lowering blood pressure and low heart beat. The epinephrine stimulates secretion of prostaglandins.

Thus, option B is correct. So, the addition of epinephrine to some local anesthetic drugs prolongs the anesthetic effect of the drug.

After photosynthesis, energy that the coral can use is stored in

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Energy is stored in glucose molecules C6H12O6

Explanation:

Producers make sugars stored as monomers bonded together to form polysaccharides, long chain hydrocarbon molecules as a result of the process of photosynthesis. These molecules, like the monosaccharide glucose, store converted solar energy as stable chemical energy in covalent bonds. In covalent bonding, the elements share electrons with each other.

These high-energy bonds are stable and not easily destabilized or broken. The energy is retrieved the the process of respiration in the mitochondria.

Glucose is broken down, while energy is transferred to bonds between ADP and inorganic phosphate, to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Eg. for aerobic respiration...

C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

glucose+ oxygen → carbon dioxide+ water+ energy
