Answer:

D) adhesion

Explanation:

Adhesion is a water property that allows water molecules to adhere to each other. This can occur thanks to its polarity. Water tends to attract and be attracted to other polar molecules. This attraction between water molecules and other polar molecules is called adhesion. When the slope occurs the water surface becomes curved, as shown in the figure.

Water molecules do not bind with nonpolar molecules, ie there is no adhesion. Therefore it is not evenly distributed on a waxed surface, and forms separate droplets on them, as the wax is nonpolar.

Explanation:

Arthritis is a term used to refer a group of diseases that affects the joints such as knees, wrists and fingers.

Juvenile rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that affects children which means the body attacks itself by mistakenly identifying its own cells as foreign .

The cause of this response is not yet known.

Some of the symptoms of the disease include stiffness, pain, joint swelling, skin rush, fever, slowed growth and fatigue.

Viktor [21]

Answer:

cAMP dependent pathway is important for processing of life.

Explanation:

cAMP pathway is also called as adenynyl cyclase pathway.

This mechanism requires different steps like-

  1. G protein coupled receptor is a integral protein that is activated by different external stimuli which binds with the specific ligand.
  2. Extracellular ligand causes activation of GPCR which in turn is responsible for conformational change  in the receptor and allows it to bind with the intracellular heterotrimeric G protein complex.
  3. The Gα  stimulate G protein complex to exchange GDP for GTP and then the complex is released.
  4. Activated Gα binds with adenylate cyclase and catalyzes ATP to form cyclic AMP.
  5. Activation of cAMP leads to the activation of nucleotide gated ion channel, and PKa(Protein kinase A) which is also called as cAMP dependent enzyme.
  6. Once, PKA is activated,it causes phospholylation of other proteins like AMPA receptor,transcription factors which regulate gene expression, and convert glycogen into glucose.
