Answer:

The correct answer is: D. Epinephrine decreases calcium levels in arm smooth muscle.

Explanation:

Smooth muscle makes up an important part of the structure of blood vessels' walls. Its main function is to contract or relax when the body requires to do so, directly impacting blood pressure. When the smooth muscle in arteries contracts, blood pressure rises; and when the smooth muscle relaxes, blood pressure decreases.

For the smooth muscle to be able to contract, calcium needs to be present thanks to the stimulation of neurotransmitters.

When Epinephrine is released, it can interact with different types of receptors depending on the tissue or organ. In the majority of smooth muscle, epinephrine contacts alpha-1 adrenergic receptors and produces an effect of vasoconstriction (contraction of the blood vessel), BUT in the smooth muscle located in the blood vessels of skeletal muscles, like the one in the arms, epinephrine interacts with beta-2 adrenergic receptors and generates the opposite effect: it produces vasodilation - the relaxation of the smooth muscle.

In conclusion, when Epinephrine is released, it produces a decrease in the calcium levels in the arms smooth muscle.

Transcribe the following strand of DNA: 5' A T T G C G A A C T G C G A G G A C T T C 3'?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

3'- T U U C G C T T G U C G C T C C T G U U G -5'.

Explanation:

The formation of the mRNA from the template strand or anti-sense strand is known as the transcription.

The nucleotide in the mRNA is added in the same way as the DNA according to the Chargaff rules which states that A will bind to T and G will bind to C but instead of adenine in mRNA will add uracil.

On the basis of this, the mRNA strand will be-

template strand:  5' A T T G C G A A C T G C G A G G A C T T C- 3'

mRNA strand:     3'- T U U C G C T T G U C G C T C C T G U U G-5'.

Healthy corals are brightly colored because they _____. healthy corals are brightly colored because they _____. secrete colorful
Korolek [52]
<span>The answer would be: host symbionts with colorful photosynthetic pigments

Coral can host symbionts that will help in their growth. There are algae that could live on the coral surface, giving them some of the energy from photosynthesis and help in calcification while the coral protects the algae. </span>The symbiosis will be formed when nearby algae attach to the corals. A stress on the coral can cause the algae to eject the algae.
