Biology

RSB [31]3 years ago
5 0

Biopolymers are natural polymers produced by the cells of living organisms. Biopolymers consist of monomeric units that are covalently bonded to form larger molecules. There are three main classes of biopolymers, classified according to the monomers used and the structure of the biopolymer formed: polynucleotides, polypeptides, and polysaccharides. Polynucleotides, such as RNA and DNA, are long polymers composed of 13 or more nucleotide monomers. Polypeptides and proteins, are polymers of amino acids and some major examples include collagen, actin, and fibrin. Polysaccharides are linear or branched polymeric carbohydrates and examples include starch, cellulose and alginate. Other examples of biopolymers include natural rubbers (polymers of isoprene), suberin and lignin (complex polyphenolic polymers), cutin and cutan (complex polymers of long-chain fatty acids) and melanin.

The divisions of the nervous system that have antagonistic actions, or opposing actions are A) motor and sensory. B) sympathetic
Effectus [21]

Answer:

B) sympathetic and parasympathetic

Explanation:

e autonomic nervous system also called the vegetative nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system which inervates  smooth muscle and glands. Thus, it directly affects the function of internal organs and  regulates  functions such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate,  urination etc. This nervous system control is  unconscious.

The autonomic nervous system is divided into: the sympathetic nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system.

Parasympathetic nervous system works when organism is at rest so it is known as system responsible for "rest and digest functions". On the other hand, sympathetic nervous system works at active and stressful situations and it is known as "fight and flight" system.
