How do humans cause climate forcing?

Biology

1 answer:

Korvikt [17]3 years ago

3 0

Explanation:

Burning fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, reducing the amount of forest cover, and the rapid expansion of farming, development, and industrial activities are releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and changing the balance of the climate system.

How many amino acids could be specified if codons consisted of two nucleotides instead of three? What problem would this present

Greeley [361]

Answer:

This could result in a mutation.

Explanation:

A change in the DNA can affect the work of cells because it can cause a mutation; it can be a good mutation or bad. The three main mutations that occur are Insertion, Deletion and Substitution. Insertion is when DNA base(s) are added in, Deletion is when DNA base(s) are removed. Lastly, Substitution is when DNA base(s) are switched on. All of these mutations can have effects. These effects are Silent effect, Missence, and Nonsense. Silent effect is a mutation that does not change the sequence of amino acids in a protein. Missence is a mutation that causes the sequence of amino acids to change. This can cause incorrect protein folding and protein malfunction. Nonsense is a mutation that causes an early stop codon. This effect leads to a protein that is too small. Also a Frameshift can occur. Framshift is when the reading of a frameshift is moved over by one or more bases such that every subsequent amino acid changes. An example of a frameshift is THE CAT ATE THE RAT. If you insert an A at the Beginning this happens ATH ECA TAT ETH ERA T. IN Conclusion there are two Mutations that also play a role in this Point Mutation and Chromosomal Mutaion. Point Mutation is when a single DNA base is either substituted, inserted or deleted from the sequence. Chromocomal Mutation is when large pieces of a chromosome or an entire chromosome is either substituted, inserted or deleted.

What is the pathway of information through a neuron?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The pathway of information through the neuron is based in the connection of axons with other neurons, favoring the conduction of information from one place to another of the nervous system. The way in which a neuron communicates with another, with a receptor or an effector is called synapse.

Explanation:

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow the function of the nervous system, given by the transmission of information in the form of nerve impulses. The way in which information is transmitted by neurons depends on the connection that exists between neurons, by their axons and dendrites, or between enurons and specialized structures such as receptors and effectors.

When a stimulus reaches a receptor, it connects with the neuron that carries the information by afferent pathway to the central nervous system. Once the information is processed, a response is elaborated that travels through the neurons by efferent pathway to an effector cell.

Synapses are simply the connection that exists between neurons, through their axons, or from these cells to the receptor or effector structures. Synapses are located between one neuronal axon and another, or between axons and receptors or effectors, and occur through electrical signals or chemical mediators called neurotransmitters.

1) Discuss two neurotransmitters and their functions? 2) The central nervous system is comprised of what two structures? 3) What

wariber [46]

Answer:

1. dopamine and serotonin

2. brain and spinal cord

3. controls the function of different processes in the body

4. limbic system

5. Increase brain surface area

6. release hormones into the bloodstream

7. insulation

8. laughing has multiple positive functions in the body

Explanation:

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter (i.e., a chemical messenger) involved in responses to rewards, motivation and memory, while serotonin is another neurotransmitter that controls appetite, mood, wakefulness and sleep onset. The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord acts as a conduit by which messages are sent from the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. Moreover, the brain acts to control all body abilities (e.g., thinking, talk, feeling, walking, breathing, etc). The autonomic nervous system is known to modulate different processes (e.g., blood pressure, digestion, breath) and internal organs (e.g., heart) by acting largely unconsciously, i.e., without a person's conscious effort. The limbic system is a part of the brain that acts to control emotions and memory by modulating autonomic/endocrine functions. Convolutions, folds, and fissures can increase brain surface area, thereby more neurons are packed into the cortex of the brain and thus it is possible to process more information. The endocrine system acts to release hormones into the bloodstream. These hormones travel in the blood to their target cells/tissues, where they regulate different functions (e.g., mood, growth, development, metabolism, reproduction, etc). The myelin is an insulating layer surrounding nerve cells that enables electrical impulses to transmit efficiently around the whole body. Laughing has multiple positive functions: release endorphin hormones that decrease stress, increases the number of immune cells and antibodies, stimulate the activity of internal organs (e.g., heart), quickly relax the muscles, contribute to increase the oxygen uptake rate in blood, etc.
