Answer: c. signal amplification

Explanation:

The uncoupling of the G-protein and inhibiting of the signal amplification are the two affects of the pertusis toxin. It is released by the bacteria called <em>Bordetella pertusis. </em>The G-proteins are affected by the action of pertusis toxin. The production to the excess level of cAMP due to the conversion of ATP into cAMP the ribosylation of the ADP molecules occurs due to pertusis toxin. This leads to the damage of G-proteins.

As a cell grows, it Select one: a. places more demands on its DNA. b. uses up food and oxygen more quickly. c. has more trouble
ankoles [38]

Answer:

D. All of the above

Explanation:

Just as when we grow and need more food and energy so does a cell. when a cell is growing there is more of it that can be utilized putting more stress on the DNA to code whatever it needs. The bigger the cell is the denser and thicker the cell membrane gets making it harder for materials to work its way in and out of the cell.

How do plants transport these micronutrients to the reproductive tissues (tissue)?
Trava [24]
What about transport you might ask well

in plants, how does a Redwood, one of the tallest trees in the world, move water from the soil to the needles on its tallest branches over 300 ft in the air? (That’s over 30 stories high!) Or how does a carrot transport the sugars made in its green, leafy tops below the surface of the soil to grow a sweet, orange taproot? Well, certain types of plants (vascular plants) have a system for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients (food!) throughout their bodies; it’s called the vascular system. Think of it as the plant’s plumbing, which is made up of cells that are stacked on top of one another to form long tubes from the tip of the root to the top of the plant. To learn more about it, let’s study the stem.

If they gave IVs of pure water in the emergency room to people who are dehydrated, what would happen?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is: <em>B. blood cells would be in a hypotonic solution, so water would rush into the cell causing it to expand and eventually burst</em>.

Explanation:

Cells have a certain solute concentration that produces an osmotic pressure of aproximately 300 mOsm. For that reason, IVs solutions must have a solute concentration which equals the cell osmotic pressure. That is usually acomplished by using an aqueous solution of NaCl 0.9% w/v or 5% w/v Glucose.

If an IV of pure water is administrated to a person, the blood cells will be in a hypotonic solution. That is, with a concentration lesser than the concentration inside the cells. Due to the difference in concentration, a net flow of water will be produced from the exterior to the cell interior. As the volume of the cell is increased, the cell membrane is damaged and eventually the cell will collapse.
