Answer: if the upper leg muscles were damaged, (You would not be able to extend the leg straight).

Explanation:

The upper leg muscles, which can also be called the thigh, are made up of three sets of muscles which include:

--> the hamstring muscles: These are located at the BACK of the thigh. They are made up of three long muscles which includes the semimembranous muscle, the semitendinosus muscle, and the biceps femoris muscle.

--> the quadriceps muscles: They are located at the FRONT of the thigh. They consists of four individual muscles which includes the three vastus muscles and the rectus femoris.

--> the adductor muscles: They are located at the medial compartment of the thigh and is consist of the following muscles: gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus and adductor magnus.

The quadriceps, hamstrings and adductor muscles work together to straighten (extend) and bend (flex) the leg. Therefore when there is damage to the upper leg muscles, you would not be able to extend the leg straight.

Some bacterial cells are resistant to a variety of antimicrobials because they actively pump the drugs out of the cell.
ad-work [718]

True. Some bacterial cells are resistant to a variety of antimicrobials because they actively pump the drugs out of the cell.

A significant resistance mechanism in Gram-negative bacteria is drug efflux. It expel solutes from the cell. Antimicrobials and metabolites are just a few of the hazardous compounds that Efflux pumps help bacteria remove from their interior environments so they can regulate it.

The main efflux systems in Gram-negative bacteria are members of the RND superfamily and typically consist of an outer membrane protein channel, a periplasmic protein, and a cytoplasmic membrane pump. The most common example is  MFS (such as Bmr and Blt in Bacillus subtilis) and the ABC transporters.

Which class of enzymes catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds?
vodka [1.7K]

Lyases

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes reactions involving the formation of double bonds.

Lyases are class of enzymes that catalyzes the joining of C-C ( carbon to carbon), C-O (carbon to oxygen), and C-N (carbon to nitrogen) bonds by hydrolysis or oxidation. These bonds are usually held by the process of elimination which leads to the formation of new double bonds or cyclical molecules. Examples of lyases include; aldolase and adenylate cyclase.

What might happen if cytokinesis were omitted
Georgia [21]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is the process by which the cytoplasm splits, forming two daughter cells from one parental cell. It occurs towards the end of mitosis, after the DNA has been replicated. The process of mitosis generates a cell with two nuclei, and cytokinesis ensures that each daughter cell receives one nucleus.

Without the process of cytokinesis, the physical process of the production of two cells from one parental cell would not occur, so the cell would not divide into two daughter cells.
