Nuclear energy is generated by initiating a process called nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms).  Very large atoms like Uranium are unstable and release a lot of energy when split apart. They also release neutrons which will then fly around and split up other uranium atoms, releasing more energy and more neutrons and the cycle continues. This chain reaction generates A LOT of energy. The energy is then used to heat up water into steam. The steam flows through pipes and into a turbine, spinning the turbine around (just like wind does to a wind mill). As the turbine spins around it powers a generator to create electricity, which can then be harnessed and distributed.

The cell respiration pathway that occurs in the mitochondria is
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The path of cellular respiration that occurs in the mitochondria is aerobic.

Explanation:

Aerobic respiration is what uses oxygen to extract energy from glucose. It is carried out inside cells, in organelles called mitochondria, through which chemical energy is obtained from the breakdown of organic molecules.

To obtain glucose energy, a process occurs in which the carbon is oxidized and when it reaches the mitochondria it mixes with the water making a chemical compound called glucositisa ( pathway responsible for oxidizing glucose to obtain energy for the cell) in which the oxygen from the air is the oxidant used.

Aerobic respiration is a process consisting of chemical reactions that are grouped into 3 stages, taking into account the place of the cell in which each one develops.

1) Glucolisis: It is carried out in the cytoplasm.

2) Krebs Cycle: It is produced in the mitochondria matrix.

3) Respiratory Chain: Occurs in mitochondrial ridges.

Inhibition of ADH
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

D. is caused by alcohol consumption

Explanation:

- ADH hormone is also called as vasopressin, it is secreted by the supraoptic nuclei of hypothalamus and released by posterior pituitary.

- The main function of ADH is to stimulate reabsorption of water from kidney tubules i.e DCT (distal convoluted tubules) and collecting duct.

- Anti diuretic means against diuresis (excess urination or loss of water). Insufficient ADH can lead to diabetes insipidus which includes the symptoms such as diuresis and dehydration but no glucose in urine.

- Alcohol suppresses the release of ADH, thus water reabsorption reduces and urine volume increases.

- Very high levels of ADH can result in dangerous conditions such as cerebral edema due to excess fluid buildup in the body.

- ADH allows the kidney to form concentrated urine while excreting normal amounts of salts. Continuous secretion of ADH may lead to hyponatremia i.e decrease of sodium levels in blood.

- Angiotensin II is released when there is low BP and it stimulates release of vasopressin/ADH to cause the vaso-constriction, there by bring the BP to normal.

Since his cerebral vascular accident, mr. harold thomas has been unable to recognize and identify objects by touch because of in
KATRIN_1 [288]
<span>This condition is a form of sensory loss.

Stroke (which is a cerebral embolism, or cerebral vascular accident) is characterized by damage to a part of the brain (which could for example the sensory cortex) as a result of obstruction of a vessel (ischemic stroke or cerebral infarction) or by the rupture of a blood vessel and the accumulation of a pocket of blood (hemorrhagic accident or cerebral hemorrhage).

The sensory and visual symptoms of the stroke appear 48 hours after the incident, Doctors must act quickly to save the patient from irreversible damages.</span>

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Contusion

Explanation:

Contusion is as a result of bruises and it happens when an injured capillary or blood vessel leaks some amount of blood into the surrounding area. Contusions are a type of hematoma, which refers to any collection of blood and can be associated with multiple microhemorrhages, small blood vessel leaks into brain tissue. Contusion is common in 20–30 percent of severe head injuries.
