If one parent is a carrier of the cystic

1 answer:

7 0

An individual must inherit two non-functioning CF genes – one from each parent – to have CF. If both parents are carriers there is a 1 in 4 (25 percent) chance that both will pass on the non-functioning gene, which would result in a pregnancy affected with cystic fibrosis.

The thin muscle that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities is the __________ .

Zanzabum

Answer: diaphragm

Explanation:
The diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal and pelvic cavity.

The diaphragm is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle located below the thoracic cavity that houses the heart and lungs. Below the diaphragm is the abdominal cavity.

The diaphragm plays an essential function for respiration. When the diaphragm contracts, the volume of the thoracic cavity increases so that air is drawn into the lungs.

Ray Of Light [21]

Explanation:

(3) active transport

The molecules would be moving against their concentration gradient from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.

While cells facilitate the transport of molecules via movement across the cell membrane, there many different mechanisms. These include passive diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and passive transport. However some very large molecules require specialized type of active transport, which requires energy in the form of ATP, in order to move substances across the membrane against their concentration gradient.

Active transport is a mediated process that requires an energy input and the use of specialized membrane proteins to move against the concentration gradient. These proteins require energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate or ATP in order to facilitate necessary conformational changes to the large protein molecules to alter the spatial location of the molecule. For instance, with Na+, K+ pumps in cell membranes.

If the na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, what will be the result?

sammy [17]

If the Na+ voltage-gated channels in a muscle cell open, the Na (sodium) ions rush inside the muscle cell and makes the cell more positive as Na ions carry positive charge on it. Due to the entry of positively charged ions inside the cell, the cell becomes less negative and more positive. This is called depolarization of cell.
