The correct option is B.

  • Carbon is an element with an atomic number of 6. Each atom of carbon is made up of electron, proton and neutron. Carbon has six protons and six neutrons in its atom but its number of neutrons differ. This is because carbon exhibit isotopy. The isotopes of carbon are: carbon 12, carbon 13 and carbon 14. Carbon 12 has 6 neutrons, carbon 13 has 7 neutrons and carbon 14 has 8 neutrons.

Degeneration of the dopamine-releasing neurons of the ________ is the ultimate cause of Parkinson's disease. Degeneration of the
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

a. substantia nigra

b. substantia nigra (it is repeated)

Explanation:

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disease that is caused by the death of neurons that release the neurotransmitter dopamine in the <u>substantia nigra</u>, or locus niger, -a region of the brain that regulates brain circuits that give the 'orders' to initiate voluntary movements- .

The lack of this neurotransmitter leads to the occurrence of the main symptoms suffered by patients: decreased movements, muscle stiffness, postural instability and tremor. These failures are generated by the abnormal way in which neurons work in the absence of dopamine through a mechanism that is not known in depth.

It is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's disease, with a prevalence of 2% in people over 65 years. The characteristic symptoms of stiffness, bradykinesia and tremor are associated with losses of neurons in the substantia nigra and dopamine depletion in the striatum. There are large cytoplasmic inclusions, called Lewy bodies, which are the pathological mark of the disease and appear predominantly in neurons that contain melanin of the nigra substance. Genetic studies in a subgroup of families with Parkinson's disease with autosomal dominant inheritance found a locus on chromosome 4q-21 23 and a mutation in the gene that encodes a synaptic protein, α-synuclein.

Natali [406]

Answer:

A. Water

Explanation:

Van Helmont concluded that most of the mass the plant gained had come from water, because that was the only thing that he had added to the pot. Van Helmont's experiment accounts for the "hydrate," or water, portion of the carbohydrate produced by photosynthesis.
