Answer:
B. Earth rotates on its own axis and revolves around the Sun.
Explanation:
The earth moves not only in one way but in two ways. It revolves around its axis and revolves around the Sun.
We do not notice it because we are on Earth and we turn together with it.
When the Earth revolves around its (imagined) axis, we call such a movement a rotation, and when it revolves around the Sun - a revolution.
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
Answer:
Both gene expression and DNA micro array study about the expression of gene during different stages of development.
Explanation:
The main purpose of gene expression studies is to determine the level of mRNA expressed at different stages of transcription in a tissue or at different stages of cellular development. If a gene is not “ON” during synthesis of RNA and protein, then the desired proteins are not produced. Such studies allow us to turn on such genes.
DNA microarray assays easily identify and determine the network of gene expression across the entire genome. The common application of DNA microarray include – mutation analysis and detection, assessment of gene cop, immunoassays etc.
Answer:
increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress
Explanation:
Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.
The given blank can be filled with cells.
The extracellular matrix is the protective tissues present as a coating of the cells. Both animals as well as the plant cells have the extracellular matrix, this coating provides support, biochemical protection and mechanical protection from the external environment of the cells. In the plant cells, the cell wall is a type of extracellular matrix.
