Answer:

increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress

Explanation:

Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

smooth was dominant over that for wrinkled

Explanation:

In complete dominance, a gene may have two different variants or 'alleles', dominant and recessive. A dominant allele is a gene variant that is able to produce a certain phenotype, even in the presence of other alleles, while a recessive allele is a gene variant that is masked by the dominant allele in heterozygous individuals (i.e., individuals that inherited different alleles from each parent). By crossing smooth and wrinkled pea plants, Mendel observed the offspring (F1) were smooth rather than mixed, indicating one type of seed texture was dominant over the other. Subsequently, Mendel observed that alleles for different traits (e.g., seed texture and seed color) assorted independently during meiosis.

In hemoglobin, the transition from t state to r state (low to high affinity) is triggered by:_________
Elena L [17]

In hemoglobin, the transition from t state to r state (low to high affinity) is triggered by Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG)

  • Bisphosphoglycerate (BPG), also known as 2,3-Disphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), aids in the transition of hemoglobin from a high-oxygen-affinity to a low-oxygen-affinity state.
  • 2,3-BPG binds to hemoglobin, causing oxygen to be unloaded. Furthermore, 2,3-BPG reduces hemoglobin's affinity for oxygen. As hemoglobin is unloaded in our tissues, 2,3-BPG binds to it, promoting oxygen unloading.
  • When we increase the concentration of 2,3-BPG in our blood, the oxygen binding curve shifts to the right. This means hemoglobin will have a lower affinity for oxygen and will be able to deliver more oxygen to our body's tissues and cells.
