How and why does the epidermis produce new skin cells?

Biology
1 answer:
ArbitrLikvidat [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

About 95 percent of the skin cells in the epidermis are devoted to creating new skin cells in the lower two levels of the epidermis, which then cycle to the top layer to help form the stratum corneum. Eventually the dead cells of the stratum corneum flake off as new keratinocytes move up, and the cycle repeats itself.

Hope this answer is right!!

valkas [14]

Answer:

<h2>Tetracycline affects the  binding of tRNA to the ribosome. </h2><h2>Chloraamphenicol affect: growth of the protein chain.</h2>

Explanation:

1. Antibiotics block protein synthesis mostly in prokaryotes only as prokaryotes contain 70s ribosome.

2. Antibiotics are of various types, which have different targets in protein synthesis, some works on small sub-unit of ribosome and some on large sub-unit.

⇒Tetracycline would directly affect binding of tRNA to the A site on ribosome.  tRNA brings amino acid to the ribosome which pairs with codon on mRNA.

⇒ Chloraamphenicol would directly affect growth of the protein chain because it block peptidyl transfer so the elongation of protein terminates.

What is a communicable disease chain? what steps can a nurse can take to break a link within the communicable disease chain?
Kaylis [27]
<span>A diseases may be classified as either communicable or non-communicable. Communicable diseases are caused by pathogens who inhabit a host, man (I'm not saying man is the only host or man is necessarily the final host; there could be many host) who in turn passes the disease to another. Pathogens are viral, bacterial, parasitic and fungal. There are several stages before the pathogen metamorphoses into a full-blown disease. The stages in which several events happen builds up before the pathogen affects the final host is called a communicable disease chain. There are six stages ( Pathogen, reservoir, portal of ext, mode of transmission, portal of entry and susceptible host) in the communicable disease chain but the step a nurse shouod take is 1. Destroy the second link (Reservoir) by thoroughly sanitizing the environment. Obviously, this is where the Pathogens live. If the reservoir is taken care of; there's no way they could infect the host.</span>
