Answer:
Slate is a fine-grained, foliated, homogeneous metamorphic rock derived from an original shale-type sedimentary rock composed of clay or volcanic ash through low-grade regional metamorphism. ... Slate is frequently grey in color, especially when seen, en masse, covering roofs.
Answer:
A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.
Explanation:
In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.
These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.
Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.
NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.
The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.
If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
Complete question:
The endplate potential (EPP) at the frog neuromuscular junction occurs because ACh simultaneously increases the conductance of the postsynaptic membrane to Na and K
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
The Acetylcholine neurotransmitter is released from the presynaptic cell by the process of exocytosis.
Once the molecule is in the intercellular space, it moves forward the postsynaptic membrane to join its receptor in the motor plate.
Once the joining has occurred, the receptor acquires a channel shape allowing the ion transference that will make possible the modification of the action potential. Ions traffic will consist of the pass of sodium and calcium to the interior of the cell and potassium to the exterior. Quantitatively, the interchange Na-K is the most significant.
K+ follows a concentration gradient, while Na+ follows an electrochemical gradient. The interchange results in an increase of positive charges in the interior of the muscular cell.
Whenever there is a sufficient number of Acetylcholine receptors are active, the depolarization threshold of the motor endplate is exceeded. This activates an action potential that extends to the rest of the muscle membrane.
The antibiotic called ampicillin was not effective against E.coli.
Answer: D
Explanation:
E.coli is normal microbial flora which is present in the gut of the mammals.
It is gram negative bacteria and very few strains of this bacteria causes harm.
Antibiotics are the chemical drugs which are used to treat the microbial infection either by killing the causative organism or by its growth inhibition.
Antibiotics such as neomycin, penicillin and erythromycin are usually used to treat E.coli infection.
Antibiotic such as Ampicillin is not used as the bacterium E.coli is highly resistant to it.
