In animals the sensory capabilities evolved over hundreds of millions of years. It is therefore not surprising that different se

nsory aspects use similar transduction mechanisms.
a) In terms of transduction (i.e., the way energy or chemicals are sensed and transduced into an electrical signal), which distinct human sensory systems use the same molecular mechanisms?
Biology

Answer:

Olfactory system

Explanation:

In an olfactory system, odor molecules are perceived by the olfactory receptors. These odor molecules are nothing but the chemicals which are then transduced as chemical signals into the electrical signals and sent to the brain. The brain perceives these electrical signals as smell.  

The odorant particles bind to the specific receptors located at cilia which then signal through the G protein Gαolf which then activate adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase leads to cAMP production which then open a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel through which both sodium and calcium ion entern into the cell. Calcium ion then activates chloride channels and thereby causing transduction of electrical signal

klasskru [66]

Answer: c. proteasome

Explanation:

Proteasomes are extremely important multi-catalytic proteases and are involved in various cellular functions. The proteasome is an essential component of eukaryotic cells and is responsible for the ATP-dependent proteolytic degradation of most cellular proteins. They are present in the nucleus and cytosol and can represent up to 1% of total cell proteins. Proteasomes generally degrade proteins to small peptides, most of which are rapidly hydrolyzed by cytoplasmic exopeptidases. It catalyzes the rapid degradation of many enzymes, regulatory proteins, and eliminates abnormal proteins resulting from mutation or damaged proteins. The inability of this cellular organelle can lead to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson´s disease.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

Deforestation negatively impacts the <u>carbon cycle</u> as <u>trees</u> play an important role in <u>balancing the amount of carbon in the atmosphere</u>.

Explanation:

Deforestation is one of the most damaging activities to the environment due to different reasons but mainly because it releases important amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere due to the logging and burning of forests and also leads to the reduction of fauna populations because of habitat destruction.

In this case, cutting white and red pines and then setting a pine acreage on fire disrupts the carbon cycle because:

a) [As stated above] <u>Trees play an important role in balancing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere</u><u> as there is less photosynthesis carried out by plants - important part of the carbon cycle.</u>

b) <u>When </u><u>trees (wood) are burned, the carbon that was formerly stored is released into the atmosphere as CO2,</u> leading to another disruption in the carbon cycle.
