The correct option is D. This is because, mucus, inflammation and fever perform different functions in the immune system.The mucus membrane produces mucus which traps microbes. Inflammation refers to a localized tissue response which occurs when a tissue is damaged. Fever inhibits bacterial growth and speed up the rate of healing of a damaged tissue.
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>The answer for this statement is "True".</em>
<em>Explanation:</em>
<em>In the kidneys, the countercurrent mechanism involves the interaction between the flow of filtrate through the loop of Henle of the juxtamedullary nephrons (the countercurrent multiplier) and the flow of blood through the limbs of adjacent blood vessels (the countercurrent exchanger). This relationship establishes and maintains an osmotic gradient extending from the cortex through the depths of the medulla that allows the kidneys to vary urine concentration dramatically which is true.</em>
Answer;
Iodine
A diffuse, nontoxic goiter is usually due to a lack of Iodine in the diet.
Explanation;
-A diffuse non-toxic goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid gland without nodularity. It occurs in an endemic and sporadic distribution. It does not result from an inflammatory or neoplastic process and is not associated with abnormal thyroid function.
-Simple nontoxic goiter, which may be diffuse or nodular, is noncancerous hypertrophy of the thyroid without hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, or inflammation. Except in severe iodine deficiency, thyroid function is normal and patients are asymptomatic except for an obviously enlarged, non tender thyroid.
Answer:
A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Explanation:
Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).
Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.
Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
Answer:
In both groups, sperm swim from antheridia to archegonia
Explanation:
Bryophytes are the plant group that does not have a vascular system. These plants do not produce seeds. Ferns and horsetails are seedless vascular plants. These plants have vascular tissues (xylem and phloem) to serve in the conduction of water, minerals, and sugars from the one plant part to the other. But these plants do not produce seeds and hence, are seedless vascular plants.
Both bryophytes and the seedless vascular plants depend on water for fertilization. These plants release their male gametes in water which in turn move towards the female gamete. Sperms, the male gametes of these plants swim in the water to reach the female gamete.
Antheridium is the male gametangium that serves as a site for the production of male gametes while archegonia are the female gametangia where the egg cell is produced.
