Which describes a pathway that tends to slow down a process?

Biology

A pathway that tends to slow down a process is called a negative feedback loop.

<h3>What we know about these loops. </h3>
  • These loops function to reduce the rate a which a process occurs.
  • Being a feedback loop means that they take in stimuli from the environment of the cell in order to affect the rate of production of a compound.
  • A negative feedback loop will activate when the concentration of the compound being produced is too high.
  • In response, the negative loop will reduce the rate of production temporarily.

Therefore, we can confirm that a pathway that tends to slow down a process is called a negative feedback loop.

Blizzard [7]

Answer: alternative A.

Explanation: In this case, we will consider people that already have had a heart attack. In this specific group of 1,000 people, 236 exercised regularly and had gone through this situation.

We can infer that 23.6% of people who exercised regularly have experienced that by dividing 236/1,000= 0.236= 23.6%.

If 236 people exercised, 1,000-236=764 didn't exercise regularly prior to their heart attacks, so 74.6% were considered to be sedentary.

If there's 0.236 chance out of 1 to exercise and still have a heart attack compared to 0.764 out of 1 to be sedentary and have the same experience, we can divide both ratios to compare them, so 0.236/0.764= 0.3089.

Alternative A claims that people who exercise have around 0.5 chance of having heart attacks compared to people who don't. Since our ratio resulted in 0.3089, we consider this number the closest to 0.5. Alternative <u>B is absurd because in order for people who exercise to have 2x the risk compared to people who don't, the number of people who exercised and went through that must be 2x bigger than people who didn't</u>. Alternative <u>C doesn't apply as well, because we already verified that the chance people who exercise have a heart attack equal to 23,6%. </u>

How does interphase prepare cells for mitosis
Luden [163]

Answer: During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.

How do the cells in meiosis differ from the cells in mitosis?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C. Cells in meiosis have unique genetic information

Explanation:

Meiosis is the cell division that forms four daughter cells from one parent cell. It includes two successive divisions called as meiosis I and meiosis II. Crossing over during prophase I of meiosis I imparts new gene combinations to the daughter cells of meiosis. Hence, daughter cells formed by the end of meiosis have some new gene combinations, that is, unique genetic information.
