The correct answer is:
D
.Villi in the small intestine have thin-walled capillaries to make the absorption of nutrients more efficient.
Explanation:
The small intestines are well adjusted for absorbing nutrients during digestion by being very long, having villi and microvilli that enlarge surface area, using muscular contractions to move and mix food, and raising and housing digestive enzymes and bile that aid the breakdown of food. The inner surface of the small intestine is not flat but thrown into circular folds, which not only enhance surface area but aid in preparing the ingesta by acting as baffles. Villi: the mucosa makes multitudes of ridges which project into the lumen and are satisfied with epithelial cells.
Answer:
I, II, III
Explanation:
A threshold stimulus is a stimulus that is capable to produce a response in excitable tissues such as neurons and muscle fibers. At threshold potential, the outward movement of K+ and inward movement of Na+ become equal to each other. When the potential exceeds the threshold potential, more and more Na+ enter the cell to depolarize it and to allow the opening of Na+ channels. Therefore, to fire an action potential, the threshold must be exceeded.
Conduction of action potential is all or none phenomenon which means that either it occurs or it does not occur. As an impulse is passed by each successive part of an exon, it enters the refractory period during which there is no conduction of nerve impulse. It ensures the one-way conduction of impulse from the cell body to the axon terminal only.
Hi,
If a point mutation occurs during which CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.
This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.
We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism
Hope it helps!:)
Answer: A codon is found on the coding strand of double-stranded DNA and in the (single-stranded) mRNA. ... The anticodon is found on the tRNA and is the part that base-pairs with the codon (on the mRNA) in order to bring the appropriate amino acid to the ribosome to be added to the growing peptide chain.
Answer:
The amount of oxygen in the atmosphere would decrease.
Explanation:
If a massive toxic spill kills off half the population of photosynthetic plankton in the ocean. That would mean that only half of the original population of plankton will remain. Photosynthetic plankton consumes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis to produce energy and releases oxygen.
