Answer:

the fact that rod functioning predominates during dark adaptation, therefore poor acuity

Explanation:

Rods and cones are the photoreceptor cells present in the eye that perform the function of converting the light received into signals that stimulate the biological processes.

Out of the rods and cones, the rods are more sensitive and they are so sensitive that they can be activated even under low light conditions.

However the cones can be stimulated only under bright light conditions, but the visual acuity is higher for the cones as compared to the rods.

Therefore under conditions of dim light, the rods are activated and hence it results in a poor visual acuity and a person experiences difficulty in reading.

Cytochalasins bind actin and block actin microfilament assembly. Cells treated with cytochalasins will not divide. How do cytoch

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-A

Explanation:

Cytochalasin is the metabolic product released from the fungus. The cytochalasin acts a toxin to the cell as it inhibits the division of the cell.

Cytochalasin act by inhibiting the cytoplasmic separation during cell division as it blocks the formation of contractile microfilaments. The presence of cytochalasin inhibits the elongation of acing filament as it blocks the addition of the monomer to the growing end of the filament.

Since it prevents the formation of the contractile rings and cytoplasmic separation, therefore, option-A is the correct answer.

Leokris [45]

Answer:

<h2>Base isolated system</h2>

Explanation:

Fixed based system:-

A fixed-base building (built directly on the ground) will move with an earthquake’s motion and can sustain extensive damage as a result.

Base isolated system:-

A base isolation system is a method of seismic protection where the structure (superstructure) is separated from the base (foundation or substructure).

Hence,

A base isolated system is much more better in a area where there are a lot of earthquakes.
