Identify the type of energy used in each action.

The following are the correct answers :-

A. electrical energy  - 2. a signal transduction process by a neuron

B. gravitational potential energy  - 3. a ball at the top of a hill

C. mechanical energy  - 1. the flexing of an arm muscle

Explanation:

Electrical energy - The communication of neurons with each other takes place at synapses. Synapses are of two types i.e. chemical and electrical. A signal transduction process by a neuron uses electrical energy.  In electrical synapse, flow of ions between cells takes place.    

Gravitational potential energy  - It is the energy possessed by an object when it is placed at some height. It is given by :

PE = mgh

The energy used when "a ball is at the top of a hill" is gravitational potential energy.

Mechanical energy - It is the total energy i.e. it is the combination of gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.

The flexing of an arm muscle  is an example of mechanical energy.

A gene
is something that is passed onto you, pretty much like this: My dad had blonde hair and green eyes, and that's what I got. My mom was Brown haired and blue eyes. I got her eyebrows and mouth. Get what im saying? It's something that is passed down to you.

A scientist wishes to develop a new drug that prevents synaptic communication via neuropeptides but not small molecule neurotran
kirill [66]

Disruption of axonal transport would be a good target for his drug.

<h3>What is disruption of axonal transport?</h3>
  • Axonal transport defects are among the early molecular events leading to neurodegeneration in mouse models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
  • Gene expression profiles indicate that dynactin-1 mRNA is downregulated in degenerating spinal motor neurons of autopsied patients with sporadic ALS.
  • Disruption of axonal transport also underlies the pathogenesis of spinal muscular atrophy and hereditary spastic paraplegias.
  • The neurotoxin β,β′-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN) selectively disrupts slow axonal transport without affecting fast anterograde or retrograde axonal transport.
  • Impairment of slow axonal transport causes a proximal accumulation of neurofilaments.
  • Because neurofilaments regulate axonal diameter, this accumulation leads to a marked swelling of the axon.
  • Acrylamide causes decreased axonal transport, also causing proximal accumulations of neurofilaments and swelling.

What led to scientists accepting Mendels ideas?
Sliva [168]
Basically his experiments, which scientists came to know only after he was dead.  His experiments, and of course, the result of this experiments that served as a proof of what Mendel afirmed, where one of the most importnat factors that made his ideas accepted.

They where also accepted because he discovered DNA, the basic laws of inheritance and chromossomes.


Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
