Answer:

The cells that are most affected by Primary Lateral Sclerosis are muscle cells and neurons.

Explanation:

Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLE) is a condition that affects the portion of the peripheral nerves that are responsible for innervating the striated muscles, producing muscle stiffness and paralysis.

The cause of PLE is unknown and it produces a degeneration of the supporting tissue —glial tissue— in the lateral portion of the spinal cord and nerves, which is in charge of activating the muscle tissue. As a result, the cells most affected are the neurons, which do not fulfill their function, and the muscle cells that tend to atrophy.

The other answer combinations are wrong choices because:

  • <em>Primary lateral sclerosis does not affect the epithelial tissue or the liver cell.</em>

Propose a question that a scientist might ask about the variety of organisms found around deep sea vents.
Svetlanka [38]
The answer is do all of these organisms use chemosynthesis.

Chemosynthesis is a process in which some bacteria produce sugar, similarly to photosynthetic process. But, while in photosynthesis the energy of Sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen, in chemosynthesis, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen sulfide are used to produce sugar, along to water and sulfur. This process is preferable when there is no light and the environment is rich in sulfide or methane, such in deep sea vents. 
Thus, to asses the variety of organisms found around deep sea vents, it should be researched if all organisms use chemosynthesis, or maybe some other process.

Compare the structure of the tricuspid valve with that of the pulmonary semilunar valve
shepuryov [24]
The tricuspid valve has three cusps that are essential components of the valve. (Hence "tri-" in tricuspid. ) The semilunar valve is called semilunar because each semilunar valve has cusps in the shape of half moons. Hope this helps to contrast their structure!

A(n) ____________________ is a sequence of organic nitrogen base pairs that codes for a polypeptide or a protein.
horsena [70]

A(n) <u>gene</u> is a sequence of organic nitrogen base pairs that codes for a polypeptide or a protein.

What is polypeptide?

Peptides are made up of short chains of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. The word "peptide" comes from the Ancient Greek word "peptós," which means "digested." Oligopeptides, which comprise dipeptides, tripeptides, and tetrapeptides, are chains of fewer than twenty amino acids.

A polypeptide is a peptide chain that is longer, continuous, and unbranched.

 Therefore, along with nucleic acids, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and others, peptides belong to the large chemical families of biological polymers and oligomers.

A protein is a polypeptide that has more than 50 amino acids, on average. A protein is made up of one or more polypeptides that are structured in a biologically useful manner. Proteins are frequently coupled to other proteins, other macromolecules like DNA or RNA, or complex macromolecular assemblies.

Choose the answer that is equal to 1600 meters. 1600 kilometers 160 kilometers 16 kilometers 1.6 kilometers
Setler79 [48]
1.6 kilometers. The conversion for the metric system can be shown by taking the letters KHDu(unit, in this case meters)dcm and placing the decimal in the current measurement (here it would be KHDu.dcm, or 1600.000) then moving it through the measurements (here it would change to K.HDudcm, or 1.600000).
