Answer:
Aspirin works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins. Aspirin inhibits the formation of prostaglandins by combining with the COX enzymes. Prostaglandins function as messenger molecules to monitor different physiological procedures in distinct regions of the body. One of the prime activities of prostaglandins is to stimulate inflammation and pain.
Prostaglandins are also the essential controller of platelet aggregation. By changing the COX enzymes inside the platelets, aspirin makes platelets to lose the stickiness, which is required to instigate clotting of blood.
There are two forms of cyclooxygenase, that is, COX-1 and COX-2. COX-1 generates prostaglandins and COX-2 mediates pain and swelling in response to tissue injury. Aspirin prevents both COX-1 and COX-2 functioning, while COX-2 is the therapeutic target of the drug.
However, it is the association of aspirin with COX-1 in the gastrointestinal tract, which results in the unwanted side effects of the drug. COX-1 is required to sustain a thick lining of the stomach. As aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme, thus, the continuous use of the drug can result in the thinning of mucus, which safeguards the stomach from gastric juices.
In such cases, stomach bleeding, ulcers, and in certain situations perforation of the stomach can take place. Therefore, aspirin exhibits both bad and good effects.
Answer: All of them seem to apply.
Explanation:
A., Its important to know if your car that is being collided is a small car or big truck, as they will end up effecting who gets hurt the most.
B., Same thing as A. but with the other vehicle.
C., The velocity matters a lot with a collision, since a slow crash won't have as much damage as a car going fast and hitting someone. Also it won't be as likely to be fatal if the car crashing into you is going slow.
D., This is the only one I'm not too sure on, but it seems like how fast the car can accelerate once collided with would be a big factor on whether it would come to a halt or skid across the road.
Answer:
The cell membrane is semi-permeable. It allows some molecules to enter easily inside the cell whereas some molecules are blocked from entering the cell.
Small, polar molecules and hydrophobic molecules enter easily through the cell membrane. But large molecules and ions cannot easily move inside the cell membrane.
A hydrophilic substance like the substance L mentioned in the question enters the cell membrane through the help of carrier proteins. The substance attached to the large protein might enter through active or passive diffusion but it can only enter the cell by attaching to carrier proteins.
Chromatin is the most common form of DNA found in organisms. Actually that is the form DNA is usually found in. If you were looking for nuclear or mitochondrial than the answer would be nuclear.
