Answer:
Elastic fibers are made of elastin and microfibrils, that are elastic protein structures. The proteins can be stretched and resume normal shape. These fibers are found in parts of the body such as arteries, skin, lungs, connective tissue and heart that require some stretching. Marfan syndrome affects the elastic connective tissues causing symptoms like dilation of the aorta that doesn't resume normal lumen diameter (aortic aneurysm), and curving of the spine (scoliosis).
The lungs are unable to stretch and resume shape normally and this affects the respiratory system. The subjects will suffer from shortness of breath, wheezing and chest pain.
The sheath/endoneurium of neurons is connective tissue. This part of a neuron allows signals to travel effeciently along the axon of the neuron. This means that a person with Mafran syndrome has a slower response to stimuli that ordinary persons.
Answer:
The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.
Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.
The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:
- Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
- DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
- Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)
Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
Answer: Of 125 students with hitchhiker's thumbs, 1/3rd would be homozygous dominant (41 students)
HH homozygous dominant
Hh heterozygous dominant
hH heterozygous dominant
hh homozygous recessive
Answer:
Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.
Explanation:
Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
