Biology
1 answer:
guapka [62]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is a. suppression of LH release from the pituitary.

Explanation:

Anabolic steroids are synthetic steroids made up of mainly androgenic hormone like testosterone. These anabolic steroids are usually taken by young male bodybuilders because it helps in gaining muscles.

These anabolic steroids have many side effects and infertility in males is one of its side effects. Excessive use of these steroids stops the secretion of gonadotropic hormones such as LH in males from pituitary glands by inducing negative feedback to the pituitary.

LH is important in the production of testosterone from Leydig cells and testosterone is important for sperm production. Therefore if LH is stopped no sperm production will occur and it leads to infertility in males.

Which of the following characteristics are true for an action potential?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

I, II, III

Explanation:

A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.

Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.

State the level of organization of euglena onion bulb and blood
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Euglena - single-cell organism

Onion bulb - organ

Blood - tissue (connective tissue)

Explanation:

The level of organization of an organ, or organism could be cellular level, tissue level, the organ level, organ system, or a complete organism. These levels are formed by assembling the lower level of the organization.

Euglena is a single-cell eukaryotic organism found in freshwater. These organisms have a very simple level of an organism which is cellular level. The onion bulb is the organ of the onion plant composed of shortened, compressed, underground stems (tissue) that are an organ-level organization.

The blood is considered as connective tissue due to the blood cells present in the matrix called plasm thus, blood is connective tissue.

Some traits such as earlobe attachment, blood type, and the presence or absence of dimples, have limited variation throughout hu
Alexus [3.1K]
Traits such as skin color and height are variable throughout the human population because these traits are controlled by more than one cell. The cells don't perform at the same rate and don't produce the same biomolecules. Therefore, the maximum height of a person is not achieved which results to variations.
