The myelin sheath is the layer of fat cells that insulates most axons and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses.
Answer:
The correct pair is A: "apicomplexans—parasites of animals"
Explanation:
- Euglenophyta is a group of unicellular, eukaryotic organisms. They are small, free-living forms, or parasites that present different feeding mechanisms and behaviors, such as heterotrophy, autotrophy, or mixotrophy.
- Dinoflagellates are unicellular, flagellated, free-living protists that might form colonies. Most of them are autotrophic organisms but some of them are heterotrophic, or mixotrophic. In these last cases, dinoflagellates can feed on other dinoflagellates, protozoans, or diatoms. They can also be parasites.
- Entamoebas are endoparasitic organisms with no mitochondria as an adaptation of living in environments with low oxygen concentration.
- Apicomplexa is a unicellular, protist group. They have medical and economic importance as they are<u> animals</u> and human parasites. They have an apical complex that helps them to fixate to the host cell and release a substance that provokes an invagination in the host membrane. This invagination allows the parasite to get into the host cell.
Answer:
a. 8.1 milligrams
b. 40.07 hours
c. 8.859 milligrams
Explanation:
If a person takes a prescribed dose of 10 milligrams of Valium, the amount of Valium in that person's bloodstream at any time can be modeled by
Where A(t) = amount of Valium remaining in the blood after t hours
t = time or duration after the drug is taken
a. we have to calculate the amount of drug remaining in the bloodstream after 12 hours
= 10×0.81253
= 8.1 milligrams
b. In this part we have to calculate the time when A(t) = 5 milligrams
0.5 = 
Now we take natural log on both the sides of the equation.
ln(0.5) = ln(
-0.69314 = -0.0173t
t = 
t = 40.0658
≈ 40.07 hours
c. In this part we have to calculate the rate, by which amount of drug will decay in the bloodstream after 7 hours.
= 10×0.8859
= 8.859 milligrams
Answer:
atoms
Explanation:
Atoms are the building blocks of elements.
