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.
It supports it by saying that there was once only one mammal but then it reproduced and since different places have different climates they adapted or evolved to the climate changing their form and shape.
Answer:
DNA tightly coils around proteins and condenses into chromosomes, which fit in the nucleus.

Answer:
Option 1, a charged end and a noncharged end
Explanation:
Complete question
If a small droplet of ordinary fat is suspended in water, the fat molecules form a "ball of spaghetti" with no particular orientation. But if a droplet of phospholipid molecules is put in water, all the molecules point outward, toward the water. Phospholipids are forced into this orientation because phospholipids have _____
- a charged end and a noncharged end
- three fatty acid molecules, all pointing in different directions
- two fatty acid molecules pointing in different directions
- both a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid
- two charged ends
Solution
The structure of phospholipids consists of the following groups and molecules –
a) A glycerol molecule
b) Fatty acids (2 in numbers) – It is hydrophobic as it is uncharged and non polar in nature
c) Phosphate group (with alcohol) – It is hydrophilic as it is negatively charged and polar in nature.
When the phospholipids are placed in water, the molecule rearranges itself in a way that the hydrophobic head face inside and the hydrophilic head face outside thereby forming micelles.
Hence, option 1 is correct
Answer:
Apoptosis does not involve:
c. lysis of the cell
Explanation:
Apoptosis is a programmed cell death that occurs under normal physiological conditions and in a controlled manner. Normally seen in cell turnover, embryogenesis, also involved in processes of immune, nervous and endocrine systems.
The main morphological and biochemical changes seen during the apoptosis are the fragmentation of DNA by endonucleases, nuclear, chromatin and cytoplasmatic condensation, apoptotic bodies formation (membrane bound-vesicles form of cell parts) and the phagocytosis (digestion) of those bodies by the scavenger cells.
Apoptosis is regulated by cell- signaling pathways, the caspases, a family of cysteine proteases, are the ones involved in the process.
In the process there is no lysis of the cell as this could lead to a inflammatory response (just happens in necrosis) which would affect contiguous cells, and will involve immune cells. In apoptosis there is just a membrane blebbing, but it does not loss its integrity.
