Each of the following statements concerning hair is true except

Biology
1 answer:
Levart [38]4 years ago
5 0

Answer: A. scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life.

Explanation:

Hair is a squamous keratinized epithelium which is consist of multi-layered flat cells.  Hair are made up of protein called "keratin".

The statement "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life" is false because at a particular age or due to several factors scalp hairs stop growing.

Scalp hair growth rate depends on three main factors including sex (female hair grows faster than male), age (hair growth slows with age), and ethnicity (Asian hair grows slower than Caucasian hair).

Scalp hair growth stops because of  follicle devitalization when the hair length become two or three feet.

Hence, the correct answer is A. "scalp hairs grow constantly throughout life".

a man is twice as old as his son.Five years ago the ratio of their ages was 9:4.Find the sum of their ages​
elena-s [515]

Answer:

75years

Explanation:

Let the Father's age be represented by 2x

Let the Son's age be represented by x

Five years ago;

Man's age will be = 2x - 5

Son's age will be = x - 5

If the ratio of their ages five years ago was 9:4, then;

2x - 5/x-5 = 9/4

4(2x - 5) = 9(x - 5)

8x - 20 = 9x - 45

- Collect like terms

-20 + 45 = 9x - 8x

25 = x

Hence, the son's age = 25 years

If x = 25, the father's age (2x) will be 2 × 25 = 50years

The sum of their ages will be = 25years + 50years = 75years

Select ALL of the following that are directly used to control fatty acid oxidation in cells.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The correct statements are A negative feed back regulation if free fatty acid accumulate C targeting the acetyl CoA transport shuttle in the mitochondrial membrane

Explanation:

The beta oxidation of fatty acid can be regulated by several following ways.

A The accumulation of free fatty acids exerts negative feedback during beta oxidation of fatty acids.As oxidation of fatty acids result in the breakdown of complex fatty acids in free fatty acids and acetyl CoA,the accumulation of free fatty acids lowers the rate of beta oxidation of fatty acid.

C The targeting of end  product of beta oxidation that is acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane also regulates the beta oxidation pathway.Because more the transport of acetyl CoA to the mitochondrial membrane more will be the rate of fatty acid break down by beta oxidation.
