By injecting Mesenchymal Stem Cells with ability to express high amount of Akt or protein kinase B in myocardium, researchers witnessed restored cardiac function and inhibition of ventricular remodeling. The effect was seen after two weeks of administration of cells. The culture containing hypoxic Akt-MSCs (conditioned medium) inhibits apoptosis or cell death induced due to hypoxia. Also, it triggers in vitro contraction of cardiomyocytes, the cardiac cells specifically responsible for contraction function.
The desired functional improvement can occur in short time which is less than 72 hours, the reason for which was hypothesized as paracrine action of cells. Hypothesis was proved by upregulation of genes that code for factors responsible for above mentioned effects (apoptosis and contraction). The factors are FGF-2, VEGF, HGF etc.

Crystalline silica is a natural compound in the earth's crust and is a basic component of sand and granite. Silicosis is an incurable disease of the lungs caused by breathing crystalline silica dust. This dust can cause scar tissue to form in the lungs.
Answer:
A. X, because organism X has the same role as the grasshopper
Explanation:
In the food web the organism is denoted by X and it shares the same role as the grasshopper.
A primary consumer is mostly a herbivore. They feed directly on plant matter and convert them into useful nutrition for their own needs.
- Grasshoppers feed on grasses.
- They are able to process plant matter into digestible food materials.
- Organisms of this kind are primary consumers.
- Organism such as Y are the secondary consumers.
- They feed on other organism but not directly on the plants.
<span>(4) active transport
</span>Active transport is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against their concentration gradient, i.e. moving from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration.
