because in a giant air sack, there would be no way for the capillaries to exchange gasses, and we would suffocate

Explanation:

the alveoli can only exchange one molecule at a time, they go from our lungs to our bloodstream and not mixing them up.

Most of the oxygen exiting the blood and entering the tissues does so from the capillaries.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

The circulatory system consists of the heart, arteries, veins and capillaries. An artery is the one which carry blood from the heart to the organs. A vein is the one which carry blood from the organ to the heart.

A capillary is the smallest blood vessel which helps connect the functions of arteries and veins in the body. The capillaries are the narrow tubes which allow diffusion of Oxygen into and from the tissues. It’s prior function is to drop Oxygen in a tissue and collect the Carbon dioxide from the tissue.

The interaction between DNA and histone proteins (forming nucleosomes) plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression in
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A. The chromatin near cis-regulatory sequences will be more closed and there will be less transcription.

Explanation:

In the presence of histones, the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA like promoter, enhancers etc. are not exposed. The function of the histone acetyltransferases (HATS) is to cause chromosome decondensation i.e. removal of histones from the DNA so that transcription of the DNA could occur. Histone acetyltransferases (HATS) cause acetylation of lysine amino acid of the histone proteins. Acetyl group is negatively charged so the acetylation of histone proteins leads to the removal of their positive charge which ultimately leads to the decrease in the interaction between N terminal of histones and negatively charged phosphate group of the DNA molecule. As soon as histones are removed from the DNA where cis-regulatory sequences are located, the DNA becomes accessible for transcription.

But here a drug has been added which blocks the activity of histone acetyltransferases (HATS) in cancer cells. So it is quite evident that in these cells, histones will not get removed from the cis-regulatory sequences of DNA so the DNA will be more closer or tightly packed as a result of which  less transcription will occur.

Which of the following is not a vascular plant?<br> conifer<br> fern<br> moss<br> flowering plant
scoundrel [369]
The answer is moss.

Mosses are nonvascular seedless plants. <span>Nonvascular plants have simple tissues specialized for internal water transport.</span>
On the other side, vascular plants have vascular tissue which consists of xylem and phloem. Xylem transport water and minerals from the root to the upper parts of the plant. Phloem transports food and nutrients from the leaves, where they are produced, to the growing or storage parts of the plants.
