Answer: Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
Explanation:
If all humans had the same DNA, and one person got the cold, everyone would die at some point. The more diversity there is the more chance of surviving an outbreak or natural disaster or something. Think of the flu. there are HUNDREDS of strains out there. some are resistant to our medicines and others aren't.
The right answers are on the attached image.
Baroreflex is a reflex triggered when a baroreceptor is stimulated. In the human body, baroreceptors are found in the carotid sinuses and the sinus of the aorta. These receptors are stimulated during changes in blood pressure. Baroreceptors are sensitive to the stretching of blood vessels.
As blood pressure rises, baroreceptors transmit nerve impulses to the vasomotor center of the medulla oblongata, which is then inhibited. This results in vasodilatation of the blood vessels to reduce blood pressure.
The correct option is GOLGI VESICLES.
Golgi vesicle is a transporting structure that is found in the Golgi apparatus. The principal function of Golgi vesicle is to transport packaged proteins to their different locations within the cell.
Answer:
C. In the third stage, fuel molecules are completely oxidized to CO2 , and most of the ATP needed for cellular processes is produced.
Explanation:
The three stages in the generation of energy from the oxidation of foodstuffs are given below:
First stage - This stage is the preparation stage and no useful energy is produced in this stage. In this stage, large molecules in food are broken down into smaller units. Proteins are broken down to amino acids, polysaccharides to simple sugars such as glucose, and fats are broken down to glycerol and fatty acids.
Second stage - In this stage, the various small molecules from the first stage are degraded to simple units (mostly acetyl-CoA) that are useful in metabolic activities of the body. Few ATP molecules are generated in this stage.
Third stage - In this final stage, most of the ATP required for cellular processes is produced from the complete oxidation of the acetyl unit of acetyl CoA to CO₂ in the citric acid cycle as well the oxidation of the electron carriers NADH and FADH₂ in oxidative phosphorylation.
