Answer:

D.)  A rabbit running a predator

Explanation:

The process of breakdown of glucose into CO2 and H2O is exergonic process and releases energy which is stored in the form of ATP. ATP serves as energy currency for all the functions performed be living beings.

The rate of glucose breakdown is maximum during intense physical activity to meet the increased demand for ATP.

Among the given options, since the rabbit is running to save its life from a predator, it would use maximum energy to protect itself. hence, the rabbit would exhibit a higher rate of energy production through glucose breakdown as compared to others.

Glucose is broken down any time the body needs energy fast.  Since the option with the most strenuous and energy-consuming task is (D) in which a rabbit runs for its life, the answer is (D).

How do stem cells maintain their populations within tissues?
AURORKA [14]

The stem cells divide through mitosis making two daughter cells. One daughter cell becomes a stem wall, and the other daughter cell  differentiates into the tissue, so therefore stem cells maintain their populations because mitosis produces a daughter cell that differentiates, as well as one that self-renews, remaining a stem cell. Good luck, and hopefully this helps you out!

Disruption of axonal transport would be a good target for his drug.

<h3>What is disruption of axonal transport?</h3>
  • Axonal transport defects are among the early molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Gene expression profiles indicate that dynactin-1 mRNA is downregulated in degenerating spinal motor neurons of autopsied patients with sporadic ALS.
  • Disruption of axonal transport also underlies the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy and hereditary spastic paraplegias.
  • The neurotoxin β,β′-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) selectively disrupts slow axonal transport without affecting fast anterograde or retrograde axonal transport.
  • Impairment of slow axonal transport causes a proximal accumulation of neurofilaments.
  • Because neurofilaments regulate axonal diameter, this accumulation leads to a marked swelling of the axon.
  • Acrylamide causes decreased axonal transport, also causing proximal accumulations of neurofilaments and swelling.

lord [1]

Answer:

Plus end and kinesin.

Explanation:

Three important cytoskeleton components are microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments. Microtubules are the polymer of tubulin and plays an important role in the movement of cell organelles and its structure.

Microtubules shows the process of polymerization and depolymerization at different ends. The plus end shows the polymerization and minus end shows the depolymerization process. The kinesin protein is required for the process of polymerization.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
