Biology

MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Cardiac and skeletal muscle are both striated in appearance, while smooth muscle is not. Both cardiac and smooth muscle are done without will or conscious control while skeletal muscle is voluntary (in control). While skeletal muscles are arranged in regular, parallel bundles, cardiac muscle connects at branching, irregular angles, called intercalated discs.

Answer:

The main difference between cardiac skeletal and smooth muscle is that cardiac muscles perform involuntary muscular movements of the heart, aiding the heart to pump blood throughout the body, while skeletal muscles perform a voluntary muscular movements of bones, aiding physical movements of the body such as walking, running, and writing.

How does deforestation affect the water cycle? A. It increases the amount of percolation. B. It increases the amount of transpir
netineya [11]
The best option for this question is: '<span>It increases the amount of runoff</span>'. Plant life acts as a barrier to the overland flow of water, thereby slowing the flow and allowing increased infiltration of water into the soil. Deforestation and overgrazing are major contributors to erosion, as plants act to bind the soil, and their removal allows the combination of looser soil and increased runoff to move masses of sediment into rivers and lakes. Deforestation will in fact decrease transpiration and percolation and precipitation rather than increase them.

Can small trees contribute oxygen?
il63 [147K]
Yes, because even though other trees produce more oxygen, the small trees will still produce some oxygen. On top of this there are more small trees than big trees, so even though they make less oxygen, in whole they end up making more when added together!

Fill in the Punnett square below to visualize the offspring of a cystic fibrosis carrier and a person who doesn't have cystic fi
valkas [14]

Answer:

50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis

Explanation:

Since the normal allele "F" will be the dominant allele while the mutated CFR allele "f" will be the recessive allele, <u>the gene (pair of alleles) of the person that is a CFR carrier will be "Ff" while that of the normal person who isn't a carrier will be "FF"</u>. The attachment shows the crossing between the two parents. From the illustration in the attachment, for every 4 children given birth to, 2 of them will likely be normal, "FF", (not a carrier and doesn't have cystic fibrosis) while 2 others will likely be carriers of cystic fibrosis (Ff). Hence, 50% of their children are likely to be carriers of cystic fibrosis.

Nicotine from cigarette smoke acts as a ligand and associates with the acetylcholine receptor on specific cells in the nervous s
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

The correct order of events is:

C) Nicotine binds to the transmembrane protein that normally binds the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.

A) The acetylcholine receptor is an ion channel, and when a ligand binds, the ion channel opens.

B) An influx of ions carries the signal to the reward areas of the brain.

D) The signal causes release of dopamine in the brain, which causes good feelings.

E) Nicotine is quickly eliminated from the body (causing cravings for more cigarettes to produce good feelings).

Explanation:

Nicotine acts on acetyl cholinergic receptors that are located in membranes of the midbrain neurons. Nicotine can activate those receptors or block them more efficiently than acetylcholine.   Stimulation of nicotinic receptors leads to an increase in ions flow that reaches the brain and causes dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens through axonal prolongations of the dopaminergic pathway. This response is responsible for the smoker´s recompense sensation.

The dopaminergic pathway is the most important way in the process of nicotine dependence and addiction to the drug.
