The phenomenon of multiple, overlapping action potentials gradually building muscle tension is called:
rewona [7]
The answer is graded potential<span>. Its made of various action potentials that depolarise the neuron incrementaly, in short interspersed intervals that do not give time for the neurons to return to resting potential. Therefore, the actions potentials, of varying sizes, grade up in  sum and when they cumulatively reach the threshold level, they invoke an impulse in the nerve</span>

Which statement is not true? A) Lipids are found in cell membranes. B) Lipids are soluble in organic solvents. C) There are many
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

D.all lipids contain fatty acids.

Explanation:

A.Lipids are fats, like oil, that are insoluble in water. ... The most abundant class of lipid molecule found in cell membranes is the phospholipid. The phospholipid molecule's polar head group contains a phosphate group. It also sports two nonpolar fatty acid chain groups as its tail.

B.The simplest definition is a lipid as any molecule that is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. Most lipids are soluble to some extent in organic solvents such as hexane, ether, chloroform or benzene. They constitute a complex collection organic compounds that include fatty acids, (A,D, E and K).

C.There are two major types of lipids- simple lipids and complex lipids. Simple lipids are esters of fatty acids with various alcohols. For eg., fats and waxes.

D.Not all lipids have fatty acids. The operational definition of a lipid is a biomolecule is that is sufficiently hydrophobic to be more soluble in an organic solvent than in water. The common theme to their structures is a high percentage of hydrocarbon character.

E.Most lipid hormones are steroid hormones, which are usually ketones or alcohols and are insoluble in water. Steroid hormones (ending in '-ol' or '-one') include estradiol, testosterone, aldosterone, and cortisol. ... Amino acid-derived hormones and protein hormones are water-soluble and insoluble in lipids.

Immunoglobulins that attach to and sensitize mast cells and basophils are
Ugo [173]

Answer:

IgE

Explanation:

Immunoglobulins can be described as antibodies that are found in blood and other bodily fluids of humans and other vertebrate animals. And their major function is that they help identify and destroy foreign substances such as microbes such as bacteria and protozoan parasites.

They are known to be produced by produced by plasma cells (white blood cells).

Immunoglobulins are classified into five categories: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. And are distinguished by the type of heavy chain they contain. IgG molecules possess heavy chains known as γ-chains; IgMs have μ-chains; IgAs have α-chains; IgEs have ε-chains; and IgDs have δ-chains.

In this case, IgE is the immunoglobulin that attach to and sensitize mast cells and basophils.
