Answer:

The levels of inputs and outputs will be negatively affected

Please find the detailed explanation below

Explanation:

The electron transport chain consists of a series of molecules that transfers electrons to one another in a group called COMPLEXES. The major aim of the ETC is to build a proton gradient needed for the synthesis of ATP. The first step in the ETC is as follows:

The process of ETC starts when two electron carriers/donors viz: NADH and FADH2 transfers their electrons to COMPLEX I. If this does not occur, the ETC cannot function. Hence, in a case where cells were treated with a chemical that inhibits the first step of the electron transport chain, the input and output (ATP) will be greatly affected in the sense that other inputs will not be used or the output will not be produced.

If the pancreas fails to make ,"BLANK" it will inhibit the action of enzymes and affect chemical digestion. Also,"BLANK"  might
seropon [69]

The pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas. This pancreatic juice is secreted into the first part of the small intestine known as the duodenum. This pancreatic juice is rich in various enzymes that help in the digestion of various food components (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins). Besides being rich in enzymes, it is also rich in bicarbonate content. The bicarbonate works to neutralize the acidic chyme. This helps the enzymes to function and carry out digestion properly. If the pancreas fails to produce bicarbonate, then the function of enzymes will be altered, and the acidic chyme (coming from the stomach) will damage the small intestine walls.

A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a_________ and a ___________. A neuromuscular junction is a junction between a___
garri49 [273]

Answer:

myofibril bulbous end of axon and skeletal muscles fibres.

Explanation:o

It represents the  chemical synapse  of the axon bulbous ends  of the motor neuron ( motor end plate) and the skeletal Muscle fibres.

The influx of calcium ions into the bulbous ends leads to the fusion  and empty of the vesicles containing neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft.

The Neurotransmitters binds to the receptors on the muscles membrane to allow the transmission of action potential ( PSIP or  PSEP)across the synaptic gap  to the muscles fibers  to initiate  their  contraction or relaxation.

Choose the law that BEST explains the example:
german

Answer:

3rd law

Explanation:

First law of Newtons :

 Newton's First Law states that, unless an external force acts on it, an object will remain in a straight line in rest or uniform motion.  

The second law of Newtons :

The second law states that an object's acceleration depends on two variables-the net force that acts on the object and the object's mass.

The change in the linear momentum of the object is equal to the force.

Third law of Newtons :

This law states that every action has its reaction with the same magnitude but in the opposite direction.

When we push the wall , then the wall does not move because the wall is fixed but we skid opposite to the direction of applied force because wall offers an opposite force on our body.

Therefore the answer is "third law".
