The right matches are:
Ventricular fibrillation ==> Loss of consciousness and death
Two successive PVC's ==> Often asymptomatic
Bizarre ECG waves ==> Defibrillation is needed
.
Ventricular fibrillation is a violent and disordered contraction of muscle fibers, especially the heart muscle, in the ventricles. This systematically leads to loss of consciousness or death.
Defibrillation is a treatment by electrical shock of abnormal contractions of the heart fibers, in order to restore a normal heart rhythm.
Premature contraction of the heart alters the normal heart rhythm but is clinically undetectable or expressed as palpitations.
Answer:
False. There are 20 amino acids, but 64 possible codons.
Explanation:
Genetic information for the aminoacids assembly during the protein synthesis is stored in short sequences of three nucleotides named codons in the mRNA. Each of the codons represents one of the 20 amino acids used to build the protein. The total number of possible codons is 64, from which 61 codify amino acids -more than one codon codify for the same amino acid-. One of these amino acids is also the start point of protein synthesis. And the left three codons are stopping translation points.
The codons indicating the initiation or stop points during the translation process are:
• The start codon AUG is the most common sequence used by eukaryotic cells and places near the 5´extreme of the molecule. However, other codons might be used as well. Prokaryote cells might use the codons GUG or UUG.
• The end codons are UAA, UAG, UGA.
The pyloric valve control food movement from the stomach into the small intestine.
