Answer: The primary function of the plasma membrane is to protect the cell from its surroundings. Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells.

Neural control of gfr is mediated by ________ that innervate ________ receptors on vascular smooth muscle causing ________
storchak [24]

Neural control of GFR is mediated by Sympathetic neurons that innervate alpha receptors on vascular smooth muscle causing Vasoconstriction.

<h3>How is GFR regulated?</h3>
  • The sympathetic division of the nervous system regulates the GFR or Glomerular Filtration Rate.
  • GFR is the sum total of filtration rates of all the working nephrons in the kidney.
  • Sympathetic division comes into action when the mean arterial pressure is very low (below 80mmHg).
  • In response to low blood pressure, the medulla releases norepinephrine through sympathetic nerves.
  • Norepinephrine leads to activation of alpha receptors on arteries which cause vasoconstriction.
  • Alpha receptors are more abundant on afferent arterioles.
  • This leads to vasoconstriction (narrowing) of arteries supplying to the glomerulus.
  • This decreases blood flow to glomerulus, leading to decrease in GFR.

Attached earlobes are recessive to free earlobes. What is the probability of having a child with attached earlobes when two indi
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

Let the earlobe allele be represented by A. since the attached earlobe is the recessive trait, the genotype would be aa while the free earlobe would be AA. The heterozygous condition would be Aa.

Two individuals heterozygous for free earlobes mated:

          Aa     x     Aa

    AA     Aa     Aa     aa

AA and Aa = Free earlobe = 3/4

aa = attached earlobe = 1/4

<em>Hence, the probability of the couple having a child with an attached earlobe is </em><em>1/4.</em>
