Taxol is an anticancer drug extracted from the Pacific yew tree. In animal cells, Taxol disrupts microtubule formation by bindin

g to microtubules and accelerating their assembly from the protein precursor tubulin. Surprisingly, this stops mitosis. Specifically, Taxol must affect
A) chromatid assembly.
B) the fibers of the mitotic spindle.
C) anaphase.
D) the S phase of the cell cycle.
E) formation of the centrioles.

Answer:

The correct answer is B) the fibers of the mitotic spindle.

Explanation:

The Taxol avoids the mitotic spindle to form, affecting directly the fibers of it. This, therefore, will stop the mitosis process, as the microtubules won't be forming properly.

During sensation and perception, sensory receptors on the skin transduce information and then send this information to
rewona [7]

The area of the brain located in the parietal lobe, responsible for processing information from sensory receptors on the skin is the <u>somatosensory cortex</u>.

<h3>What is somatosensory cortex?</h3>

It is that brain area responsible for processing and treating information of a sensory nature that comes from the skin, muscles and joints.

<h3>Characteristics of somatosensory cortex</h3>

  • It receives and interprets all the information that comes from the tactile system.

  • Sensations of pain, temperature, pressure, as well as the ability to perceive the size, texture, and shape of objects are perceived by this section of the cerebral cortex.

Therefore, we can conclude that the sensory receptors receive information from the outside regarding touch, pain and temperature and transmit it to the somatosensory cortex.

________ is the backup energy molecule that can be rapidly converted to ATP in active skeletal muscle.
umka2103 [35]

Hai :3

What is the backup energy molecule that can be rapidly converted to ATP in active skeletal muscle?

The answer would be D. Phosphocreatine, because phosphocreatine plays a major role on energetic homeostasis in both active skeletal and cardiac muscles. Phosphocreatine is basically creatine but phosphorylated, and that is why it has such a name. It has the role of turning ADP (adenosine diphosphate) into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Remember, ATP is the currency of life! That is what my biology teacher taught me.

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?
shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.
