Answer:

Storage proteins serve as biological reserves of metal ions and amino acids, used by organisms. They are found in plant seeds, egg whites, and milk. Ferritin is an example of a storage protein that stores iron. Iron is a component of heme, which is contained in the transport protein, hemoglobin and in cytochromes.

Pain signals often have two components: an acute sensation of "first pain" which is felt almost immediately after an injury, and

o-na [289]

Answer:

This suggests that neurons that send the signals that we perceive as first pain Myelinated Tpye A-delta___, and neurons that send the signals that we perceive as second pain Unmyelinated-Type C.___.

Explanation:

Physiologically, primary afferent neurons that innervated the the touch, pain, temperature,and pressure receptors in the effectors to input sensory signals to the spinal cord and the brain are categorized based on their diameter, sizes, and nature of myelination. Based on this;

A-alpha has the largest diameter, myelinated, and sensitive to sensation from the muscle cells

A-beta are next in diameter, myelinated and sensitive to sensation of touch.

A-delta followed in diameter, and size. They are mylinated, and sensitive to pain and temperature.

C-fibres are least in diameter, they are unmyelinated, but sensitive to pain, touch and temperature.

Therefore, if the speed of conduction,of action potential in a neuron depends on the diameter(thickness) and myelination of the axon(saltatory conduction) :

''then, acute sensation/ first pain should be transmitted by the A-delta fibre. While the the slower/second pain should be transmitted by the slower unmyelinated - C-fibres''.

Radioactive parent elements will become stable daughter elements through the process of

skad [1K]

The stabilization of a radioactive parent element into a stable daughter element occurs through the process of radioactive decay. The unstable atomic parent emits radiation and loses its energy. This leads to the formation of a daughter element, which is less radioactive or is stable.

Is coffin Lowry syndrome more common in males or females? why or why not?

tiny-mole [99]

1). Thus, the syndrome is typically more severe in males because males have only one X chromosome, while females have two. It is unclear how changes (mutations) in the DNA structure of the gene lead to the clinical findings. There is no cure and no standard course of treatment for Coffin-Lowry syndrome.
