Your friend is trying to convince you that if the ligaments binding the bones together at your freely movable joints (such as yo

ur knee, shoulder, and hip joints) contained a higher percentage of elastic fibers, you would be much more flexible. Is this true? If so, would this present any serious problems?

If the ligaments of the joints contained high percentage of the elastic fibers then, the joints would have been more freely movable. They would be more stretchy and flexible. But the ligaments around the joints keep the bones together and aid in the controlled movements of these joints. If the percentage of the elastic fibers in the ligaments joining these is to be increased, then the joints will become floopy and will be prone to dislocation and misalignment.

Answer:

If ligaments comprise greater number of elastic fibers they would become more stretchy, therefore, the joints would turn out more flexible. Though the prime role of the ligaments is to join bones together in a secured manner so that proper monitored movement of joint can take place.  

The presence of greater number of elastic ligaments would lead to floppy joints in which the bones taking part in the joint would become more vulnerable to dislocation and misalignment.

Which vitamin can be synthesized in significant amounts by humans and, therefore, may NOT be essential
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

The correct ansqwer is- Vitamin D

Explanation:

Vitamin D is the vitamin that can be synthesized by the human body itself therefore it is not an essential vitamin for human beings. Human skin is the part that helps in making this vitamin in humans.

The natural form of vitamin D is vitamin D3 which is formed by the sunlight exposure on the skin. When we expose our skin in the sunlight the UV radiation penetrated our skin and converts provitamin D3 into pre-vitamin D3 then this previtamin can be isomerized into the natural form of vitamin D Which is vitamin D3. So the right answer is vitamin D.

On a tour of African countries, Mark contracts a bad case of traveler's diarrhea. Because he can't eat very much, his body start
melomori [17]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Traveler's diarrhea is an intestinal infection that occurs as a result of eating or drinking contaminated food or water, food handlers who do not wash their hands after they use the bathroom can transmit the infection to people who consume the contaminated food

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced
