Answer: Essential amino acids play vital role in various processes occuring in the body like energy production, nutrient absorption, tissue growth, immune function.

These are- Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine,  Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine.

They are not synthesized by the human body. So they must be taken as supplements from the food. If body does not get these amino acids, the first response is the breakdown of muscle tissue. Thus, wastage of muscle is the first symptom associated with the deficiency of these amino acids. Other effects can include weakness, low immune response, and fatigue.

Therefore, they are called as essential amino acids.

They are called essential because unlike the other ten unessential ones, they cannot be produced in our bodies. They must be obtained in our diet.

20 heterozygous purple flowering pea plants are crossed. If purple is dominant over white, what are the expected phenotypic resu
Elenna [48]
Let's call the colour alleles C for dominant purple, and c for recessive white.

We have crossed Cc with Cc.  So if we put that in a Punnett square, we'd have a CC, two Cc and a cc.  That would give us a 3:1 ratio of purple to white, so you'd expect 15 purple and 5 white flowers. :)

The output region is the site of ______________________.
tester [92]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C (voltage gated Na+ channels).

Explanation:

Output region or axon terminal is the structure of neuron which transmits the signals to other nerve cells.

The signal is transferred via action potential generated by the dendrite cell which moves along the axon and reaches the synaptic junction.  

At the synaptic junction, voltage-gated channel (Na+) channels located in the membrane of the axon terminal cell opens due to the changes in the electric membrane potential which play important role in returning the depolarized cell to a resting state.

Thus, option C (voltage-gated Na+ channels) is the correct answer.
