Cytoskeletal filaments that display "dynamic instability:"

Biology
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

c. change in length due to polymerization or depolymerization.

Explanation:

Microtubules are the most rigid components of the cytoskeleton. Their length can range from 15 to 25 nanometers (nm), which far exceeds the scale of the cell. Microtubule rigidity occurs due to the tube structure composed of monomers that are part of these structures.

Microtubules are polarized in the same way as actin filaments, but both polymerization and depolymerization are different, as microtubules have dynamic instability, a process that leads to elongation and shortening of microtubules, causing significant force.

Which statement about Imipenem is accurate? a. active against methicillin-resistant staphylococci b. has a narrow spectrum of an
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

Why does water form large round drops as it falls from a faucet with a slow leak
jarptica [38.1K]
Water molecules are polar. This means that one end of the molecule is positively charged, while the other is negatively charged. Opposite charges attract. Water molecules on the faucet that are eventually pulled away from the others by gravity will themselves pull together and form round drops because the charged portions of molecule attract the oppositely charged portions of another.
