Answer:

Norepinephrine

Explanation:

Nerve cells and circulating hormones are the one responsible for vasoconstriction of the vessel walls, as they do not enter the tunica media of the blood vessel, the nerves do not synapse directly on the smooth muscle cells. Instead, they release the neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, which diffuses into the media and acts on the nearby smooth muscle cells, which result in contraction of the entire muscle cell layer and thus reducing the radius of the vessel lumen.

In an experiment, a certain colony of bacteria initially has a population of 50,000. A reading is taken every 2 hours, and at th
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

1) Recursive definition: p_n = (50,000)3^n

2) At the beginning of the 4th interval

Explanation:

1)

The initial population of the bacteria at time zero is

p_0 = 50,000

Here we are told that the reading is taken every two hours; we call this time interval "n", so

n=2 h

And also, after every time interval n, the number of bacteria has tripled.

This means that when n = 1,

p_1 = 3 p_0

And when n=2,

p_2 = 3 p_1 = 3(3p_0)=9 p_0

Applied recursively, we get

p_n = 3^n p_0

And substituting p0,

p_n = (50,000)3^n (1)

2)

Here we want to find at the beginning of which interval there are

p=1,350,000

bacteria.

This means that we can rewrite eq.(1) as

1,350,000=(50,000)3^n

By simplifying,

27=3^n

Which means that

n=3

However, this means that the number of bacteria is 1,350,000 after 3 time intervals; therefore, at the beginning of the 4th interval.

Briefly describe how cell differentiation occurs in the developing animal embryo
kkurt [141]
Embryonic differentiation<span> is the process of development during which embryonic cells specialize and diverse tissue structures arise. Animals are made up of many different cell types, each with specific functions in the body. However, during early embryonic development, the embryo does not yet possess these varied cells; this is where embryonic </span>differentiation<span> comes into play. The </span>differentiation<span> of cells during </span>embryogenesis<span> is the key to cell, tissue, organ, and organism identity.</span>
