Answer:
Axon hillock
Explanation:
Neuron or nerve cell is excitable cell of the nervous system which consists of cell body or soma (karyon), dendrites and an axon. Dendrites are short, numerous filaments responsible for the signal receiving. On the other hand, axon is long ant it originates form the cell body from the swelling called axon hillock. At the end of an axon there are axon terminals from which neuron can transmit a signal another cell.
Hello There!
Q: Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Answer: The egg, because the amniotic egg evolved well before the first bird.
Thus, making it option A.
Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
Genes;
- are specific nucleotide sequences
- are located in a specific place on a chromosome
- determine the traits of an organism
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Genes are the basic physical and functional units of heredity. They consists of a specific sequence of nucleotides at a given position on a given chromosome that codes for a specific protein.
- Genes consist of three types of nucleotide sequence: coding regions, called exons, which specify a sequence of amino acids, non-coding regions, called introns, which do not specify amino acids and regulatory sequences, which play a role in determining when and where the protein is made.
Answer:
Explanation:
Enzymes are biological catalysts; catalysts are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions without being used up (BBC, 2010), without these catalysts it would take an extremely long time for these reactions to take place. The enzyme used in this particular experiment was pepsin; pepsin is a zymogen of pepsinogen. Pepsinogen is activated by hydrochloric acid, which is released from parietal cells in the stomach lining. The hormone gastrin and the vagus nerve trigger the release of both pepsinogen and hydrochloric acid from the stomach lining when food is ingested. Hydrochloric acid creates an acidic environment, which allows pepsinogen to unfold and cleave itself in an autocatalytic fashion, generating pepsin. (Life Science Network, 2010)
A lot can be learnt about enzymes by studying the rate of enzyme catalyzed reactions, these rates of reaction can be studied in various ways. In this experiment, using a range of different temperatures, the enzyme pepsin will be mixed with egg albumen. This is high in protein and bound to the dye Coomassie blue to gain a light absorbance reading using a spectrophotometer and in effect see how much protein has been digested by the pepsin.
