Answer:

1. Functions:

a. Umbilical artery >> carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta

b. Umbilical vein >> transports oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus

c. <em>Ductus venosus</em> >> allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver

d. <em>Ductus arterious</em> >> allows most of the blood from the right ventricle to bypass the fetus's non-functioning lungs

e.<em> Foramen ovale</em> >> oxygenated blood from the umbilical vein to bypass the pulmonary circulation

2. After the bird:

1. Umbilical artery >> medial umbilical ligament

2. Umbilical vein >> round ligament of the liver

3. <em>Ductus venosus</em>  >> <em>ligamentum venosum</em>

4. <em>Ductus arteriosus</em> >> <em>ligamentum arteriosum</em>

5. <em>Foramen ovale</em> >> <em>fossa ovalis</em>

Explanation:

The umbilical artery is a paired artery localized in the abdominal and pelvic regions, which carries deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta through the umbilical cord. The medial umbilical ligament is the obliterated part of the umbilical artery that arises from the internal iliac arteries. In utero, the umbilical arteries carry waste products back to the placenta, whereas the umbilical vein carries oxygenated blood from the placenta to the fetus. The round ligament of the liver (also known as <em>ligamentum teres hepatis</em>) is a remnant of the umbilical vein that  exists in the embryonic stage, it connects the left lobe of the liver to the umbilicus. The<em> ductus venosus</em> is a slender shunt that allows oxygenated blood from the placenta to bypass the liver, it connects the intra-hepatic portion of the umbilical vein to the inferior vena cava. The <em>ligamentum venosum</em> is an extrahepatic, slender, and fibrous remnant of the fetal ductus venosus that travels between the left portal vein and the inferior vena cava. The <em>ductus arteriosus</em> is a fetal artery that connects the aorta to the pulmonary artery. The <em>ligamentum arteriosum</em> is a nonfunctional vestige of the <em>ductus arteriosus, </em>it is attached to the superior surface of the pulmonary trunk. The <em>foramen ovale</em> is an oval-shaped, small, opening in the wall (<em>septum</em>) between the two upper chambers of the heart. The <em>fossa ovalis</em> is a vestige stricture of the foramen ovale of the embryonic heart, which forms a depression in the right atrium of the heart.

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between 17 kilomet
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is (2) - Stratosphere. Ozone is found in the stratosphere , a layer beginning between 6 and 10 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward to about 30 mile above the surface of he earth. The ozone that is found in the stratosphere absorbs most of he harmful ultraviolet sunlight and is thus called the "good ozone" Ozone is also found in the lower region of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. But the ozone here strongly reacts with molecules causing toxicity in plants. The ozone is therefore termed as "bad ozone."

Biologic agents differ from other injurious agents in that they are able to replicate and can continue to produce their injuriou
Nostrana [21]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. Gram-negative bacilli cannot cause harm to the cell; only Gram-positive bacilli can harm the cell.

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

C. Gram-negative bacilli excrete elaborate exotoxins that interfere with cellular production of ATP.

D. Gram-negative bacilli enter the cell and disrupt its ability to replicate.

Answer:

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

Explanation:

Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic in nature due to the composition of their cell wall. Their cell wall contains an additional layer of a molecule called lipopolysaccharides or LPS.

The LPS layer is toxic in nature and is known as endotoxin and is involved in the pathogenicity of the bacteria as the toxin causes the injury to the Endothelial cell membrane of the host cell.  

When the bacteria cell is lysed and the LPS circulates in the blood, then LPS binds the receptors and acts on CD14. This attracts the neutrophils at the site and can cause vascular injury due to increased capillary permeability.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

mRNA

Explanation:

The messenger RNA also called mRNA is the type of RNA that serves to carry the genetic information from DNA to the cytoplasm. The mRNA is formed by the process of transcription using the DNA template strand.

The mature mRNA enters the cytoplasm and joins with the ribosome. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is translated into the amino acids sequence of polypeptides. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplet genetic codes by tRNA.
