WARRIOR [948]4 years ago

Enzymes can be denatured by irregular PH. Meaning that they can change shape. Enzymes rely on their shape in order to function so if their shapes change because of the PH then the active sites don't fit anymore and they enzymes wont work.

Radda [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Clostridium Tetani.

Explanation:

Clostridium tetani is a Gram-positive bacteria found in soil.

<u>C. tetani may grow and generate </u><u>tetanospasmin</u><u>, a powerful toxin that interferes with </u><u>motor neurons</u><u>, producing </u><u>tetanus</u><u>, if introduced into a </u><u>wound</u>.

Tetanospasmin travels throughout the body via the lymphatic and bloodstream, where it is taken up by different sections of the nervous system. Tetanospasmin inhibits the release of the inhibitory neurotransmitters glycine and gamma-aminobutyric acid at motor nerve terminals in the nervous system. <u>This blockage causes </u><u>extensive motor neuron activation and muscular spasming</u>. These muscle spasms usually start at the top of the body and work their way down, starting about 8 days after infection with lockjaw and progressing to spasms of the stomach muscles and extremities. The muscle spasms last several weeks.

Tetanus toxoid vaccinations, which are often given to children around the world, can inhibit the toxin's activity.

What are the two circuits of the cardiovascular system? What does it mean to say that the cardiovascular system is a closed syst
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The two circuits of the cardiovascular system are: Pulmonary Circuit and Systematic Circuit. The pulmonary circuit is shorter than the systemic and is responsible for carrying deoxygenated blood to the lungs from the right atrium, for oxygenation. The systemic circuit is longer and leaves the aortic artery, carrying oxygenated blood throughout the body and nutrients for survival. If less blood were pumped into the systemic circuit, this amount would not be sufficient to compensate for the organism's needs, with the corresponding consequences that this would entail.  

It is said that the cardiovascular system is a closed system because blood travels inside a network of blood vessels without leaving them.
