What structures hold the air passages open in the windpipe and bronchi?

Biology

yawa3891 [41]2 years ago

Answer:

<em>The structure that holds the air passages open in the trachea (windpipe) is </em><u><em>the hyaline cartilage</em></u><em> in the tracheal wall offering support and keeping the trachea drom collapsing. </em>

Explanation:

<em>The bronchi are divided in two by the level of the fifth thoracic vertebra the gaps that keeps the bronchus open are the cartilages filled with the trachealis muscle, that holds open the lumen of  the trachea and bronchis and allow the flexibility necessary for the respiration motion (inspiration and expiration). </em>

<h2><em>The trachea connects the larynx to the bronchi and allows air to pass through the neck and into the thorax. The rings of cartilage making up the trachea allow it to remain open to air at all times</em></h2>

What causes tomatoes to ripen much more slowly in a refrigerator than they do if left on a table at room temperature?
lions [1.4K]
Tomatoes need some kind of sunlight or heat to ripen, the humidity speeds up the process of it's ripening, the lower the temperature the more reduction done to the ripening enzymes.

Fill in the table below by writing the complementary strand of DNA that would be formed by each template strand
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

DNA strand = complementary strand

GCAAG = CGTTC

TTACG = AATGC

GATAC = CTATG

CGGAT = GCCTA

DNA strand = mRNA strand

CGATT = GCUAA

GCTTA = CGAAU

GCATC = CGUAG

TTCAT = AAGUA

Explanation: A complementary strand is not the same in base composition and sequence with the template strand. In DNA, anywhere adenine is found in the template strand, thymine is found in the complementary strand and anywhere cytosine is found in the template strand, guanine is found in the complementary strand. But in RNA, anywhere adenine occurs in the DNA template strand, uracil occurs in the mRNA strand, wherever thymine occurs in the DNA template strand, adenine occurs in the mRNA strand and wherever guanine occurs in the DNA template strand, cytosine occurs in the mRNA strand.

Summarily, in DNA adenine pairs with thymine while cytosine pairs with guanine while in mRNA, adenine pairs with uracil, while cytosine pairs with guanine.

Methylene blue reductase why were you told to cap the tubes tightly?
guajiro [1.7K]
The methylene blue reduction test is a test commonly used to estimate the microbial load of a milk sample and as a result, examine the quality of the milk.

The principle of this test is that methylene blue is a dye which loses its colour in the absence of oxygen. Bacterial metabolism can cause the depletion of oxygen in the milk, therefore the methylene's reduction rate is connected to the presence of microorganisms in the milk.

As a consequence, if the tubes were not sealed tightly, then oxygen will enter the tube and the dye's colour will diminish, giving a false result concerning the presence of microorganisms in the sample.

In a eukaryotic cell, the DNA is enclosed in the nucleus, whereas the ribosomes that make proteins are located in the cytoplasm.
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The genetic information in DNA is carried to the cytoplasmic protein-manufacturing centers in form of mRNA.

Explanation:

The process of transcription forms RNA using the DNA template strand thereby copying the genetic information of DNA into the nucleotide sequence of mRNA.

The mRNA leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm to join ribosomes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplet codons to specify the amino acid sequence of the proteins.

In this way, mRNA serves as a carrier of the genetic information in DNA.
