Eggs have species specific receptors on their outer surfaces to which sperm must attach if fertilization is to occur
mafiozo [28]
The  question is; would a drug that binds irreversibly to these receptors be an effective contraceptive in mammals?, the answer is;Yes; because if the receptors are blocked the sperms will not be able to penetrate the zonal pellucida of the egg.  Contraceptives prevents pregnancy by interfering with the normal process of ovulation, fertilization, and implantation.

Olympic athletes train in Colorado Springs, Colorado because this location is at high altitude and near the 14,000 foot Pikes Pe
Stels [109]

Answer:

A: Oxygen levels are low and, therefore, more red blood cells are produced, giving the athletes an advantage when competing at lower altitudes.

Explanation:

<em>At high altitudes, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower compared to lower altitudes</em>. The body system try to adjust to lower oxygen level by undergoing several physiological changes. Depending on the duration spent in high altitude, the body can either try to adjust in the short term or acclimatize for a longer term.

One of the processes the body undergoes during acclimatization is an increase in red blood cell production. The kidney secretes erythropotein in response to inadequate oxygen in body tissues, and this makes the liver to increase erythrocyte production.

The increase in red blood cell production correspondingly increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood as a result of increased hemoglobin. This condition persists for a few weeks even after the body returns to lower altitude where oxygen is adequate. Increased oxygen capacity means the rate of energy production (through respiration) within the body will also increase

<em>Hence, those who acclimatize to high altitude usually experience increased capillary density, tissue perfusion and improved athletic performance at lower altitudes. </em>

The correct option is A.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

<h2>B) 4, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3, 5</h2>

Explanation:

Action potential ,the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of an impulse along the membrane of exciting cell. The order of steps in generation of action potential is-4.A graded depolarization brings an area of an excitable membrane to threshold.→ 6. in excitable membrane ,after that, Sodium channel  get activated,→ 7. aftre that  Sodium ions enter the cell and depolarization occurs,→1.after that, then Sodium channels are  inactivated,→ 2. Voltage-gated potassium channels open and potassium moves out of the cell, initiating repolarization, →3. Sodium channels regain their normal properties,→ 5A temporary hyperpolarization occurs.
