Answer:
The correct answer is - the hippocampus.
Explanation:
Hippocampus is the part of the brain located deep in the temporal lobe that is related to memory and learning abilities. The hippocampus is present in humans and other mammals, two in numbers.
Injuries to the hippocampus will be lead to problems that are associated with a memory like recognition and identifying people or things or the ability to learn things. Direction, locations type of memories would be affected if damaged.
Answer:
Cortisol
Explanation:
The most important human glucocorticoid is the cortisol. It is also called hydrocortisone or stress hormone. It is produced in the zona fasciculata layer of the adrenal cortex of the adrenal glands. It controls blood sugar level between meals. It helps in maintaining blood pressure by controlling salt and water balance. It also control a response to stress by making more glucose from proteins and fats.
Answer:
Adaptive immune responses are triggered by activation of antigen-specific T cells that produce antibodies against foreign antigens such as, for example, harmful viruses. These immune responses are useful to eliminate dangerous molecules from the body. In a normal immune reaction, the antibodies produced by T-cells target antigen molecules in order to be subsequently absorbed by phagocytic macrophage cells.
Autoimmune diseases are triggered by the response of the adaptive immune system against self-antigen molecules. Since the immune system can not eliminate antigens from the own body, this immune reaction generates an excessive inflammatory response, and it may lead to the damage of tissues and organs.
Answer:
(b) Voltage gated
Explanation:
The cell membrane acts as a barrier that separates two aqueous media of different composition, the extracellular and the intracellular, regulating its composition. Most of the liposoluble drugs and solutes, when not ionized, directly cross the cell membrane through a passive diffusion process, which facilitates the passage of the medium where it is more concentrated to the one that is more diluted. The difference in concentration between the two media is called the concentration gradient, and diffusion will continue until this gradient is eliminated. According to Fick's law, the speed of this process will be much faster the higher the concentration gradient and the liposolubility of the molecule and the smaller its size.
More hydrophilic molecules, such as ions, are immiscible in membrane lipids and pass through specific specific transport mechanisms. In some cases, ions pass through hydrophilic pores called ion channels, and in others a favor of their concentration gradient is transported by binding to the transporter or transporter proteins. Both transport systems are passive and therefore do not consume energy. The great advantage is that the ion channels allow the flow of ions through a much higher speed than that of any other biological system. The flow of ions through each channel can be measured as an electric current, which is capable of producing rapid changes in membrane potential.
Answer:
G - 21%
T - 29%
A - 29%
Explanation:
Nucleotide bases in DNA are complementary. Adenosine (A) binds to Thymine (T) while Cytosine (C) binds to Guanine (G). Hence the composition of A in DNA is the same as that of T; and that of C is the same as that of G.
From the information given, C is 21%
Therefore G is also 21% of the genome as C is bound to G, the therefore are the same proportion.
C and G make up 42% of the genome (that 21% + 21%).
The remaining 58% (100%-42%) is made up of A + T
Similarly the proportion of A is equal to that of T,
Hence A is 29% (half of 58%) and T is 29%.
