Biology

The correct answer to this is:

“Astrocytes”

Astrocytes also called star cells due to their shape are the most abundant glial cells in the brain. Extensions from these cells encase capillaries and offer extra control over which materials enter or leave the intercellular fluid of the CNS thus acting like a permeability membrane.

Llana [10]

Meninges refers to the three layes of membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord of the mammals. The inflammation of these protective membranes of the brain and the spinal cord caused by the infection of bacteria, virus or other microorganisms is called the meningitis.

A laboratory test to identify or rule out meningitis is the analysis if the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by lumbar puncture. CSF is a colorless fluid filling the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord. Lumbar puncture is a techinque of isolating the CSF from the sac sround the spinal cord using a needle under a local anesthetic. The sample is then analysed for the opening pressure which is normally between 6 and 18 cm of water in a patient who is not infected with meningitis. Also, the levels of glucose in CSF is above 40% of that in blood in non-infected persons. If lactate levels are less than 35mg/dl, this will also rule out meningitis.

Which of the following statements about autosomal recessive traits is true?
meriva

Answer:

A. If neither parent expresses the trait, but the offspring does, both parents must be heterozygous for the trait.

Explanation:

If neither parents express the trait is because they are heterozygous and the dominant allele is being expressed over the recessive trait. When parents cross they have 25% of having an offspring that expresses the recessive trait, this means the offspring is a recessive homozygous. In the attached example 25% or 1/4 will have a short stem.

Prokaryotes whose cell walls do not contain peptidogly can
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Archaebacteria

Explanation:

Archaebacteria is a group of single-celled organism present on the earth which are thought to be descended from the ancient bacteria.

These bacteria can survive the extreme or harsh conditions present on the Earth-like in the hot springs.

The archaebacteria cell membrane is made up of ether-linked phospholipids which are ester-linked in Eubacteria and eukaryotes.  The sugar present in the archaebacteria is very similar to peptidoglycan in composition but it is not peptidoglycan.

Thus, Archaebacteria is the correct answer.

Effectus [21]

Answer: D. Digestion increases as the volume of the enzyme increases.

Explanation:

Enzymes speed up reactions by reducing the activation time of a reaction. If there are more enzymes therefore, the reaction will move faster.

Pepsin is an enzyme that prefers acidic conditions so it can work with dilute HCL. It can also work in temperatures of 40 °C without getting denatured. As more Pepsin is added therefore, the reaction will move faster and digestion will increase.
