Answer:
(c). are gaps between neurons where chemical signals are used to transmit information
Explanation:
Synapses can be defined as junction present between two nerve cells, through which nerve impulses are transmitted by using chemical signals or neurotransmitters. The synapses represent a small gaps that separate two neurons.
The neurotransmitters are released by ending of presynaptic neuron and allows transmission of signals from presynaptic neuron to postsynaptic neuron. Hence, synapses are necessary for unidirectional flow of impulses.
Thus, the correct answer is option (c).

The structure of a Neuron: ___________ contains nucleus and organelles; _________ receives nerve impulses and conducts it towards cell body whereas _________ conducts nerve impulses away from the body.
Answer:
The structure of a Neuron: Soma/cell body contains nucleus and organelles; dendrites receives nerve impulses and conducts it towards cell body whereas axon conducts nerve impulses away from the body.
Explanation:
A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron has three main structural components namely, soma, one axon, and many dendrites.
Soma is the metabolic center of the neuron and does not participate in conduction of nerve impulse. Many small extensions arise from the soma and are called dendrites. The function of dendrites is to carry the nerve impulse from axon terminals of the presynaptic neuron towards soma.
One large extension of soma is axon that carries the nerve impulse from soma to the axon terminals.
Why are infections more common with compound fractures than with simple fractures?
Answer: Compound fractures = open fractures
Explanation: This means that the area is more suseptable to infection. Because it is open, there is more room for an infection to burrow in and spread.

What valve prevents back flow into the left ventricle of the heart?
A) pulmonary valve
B) mitral valve
C) tricuspid valve
D) aortic valve
Answer:
Option D, aortic valve
Explanation:
The location of aortic valve i.e between the aorta and left ventricle, allows it to stop the blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.
The other options are incorrect as -
Pulmonary valve being located between the pulmonary artery and right ventricle, stop the blood from flowing back into the right ventricle.
The tricuspid valve and mitral valve stops the blood from flowing back into the right atria and left atria respectively.
Hence, option D is correct.
One of the reasons we eat food is to gain energy. How can we calculate the amount of energy that a food contains?
Answer:
By calculating the total calorific value of each food ingredients
Explanation:
Food’s energy content is due to its calorific values or the amount of calories it it. Carbohydrate, protein and fat are the major constituents of a food. Suppose, the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat intake in an adult is equal to X, Y and Z grams
In one gram of carbohydrate , protein and fat there are 4 , 4 and 9 calories per gram
Thus, the total calories in the food of adult will be equal to
[tex](X * 4 + Y * 4 + Z* 9)[/tex] calories
Neuroglia that control the chemical environment around neurons by buffering potassium and recapturing neurotransmitters are ________. A. oligodendrocytes B. microglia C. astrocytes D. Schwann cells
Answer:
Astrocytes
Explanation:
Astrocytes are star shaped glial cells and are the most abundant glial cells in the group. Thy have gap junctions with pottasium and calcium channels that refulate the concentration of the ions in the environment creating a buffer that ensures the neurons function effectively during saltatory condution when ions are released outside their membrane. They also capture any unused neurotransmitters during cell communication by neurons at the synaptic junctions.

What is the state of Michigan doing to fix the problem of purple loosestrifes? (invasive species)
I need a source( from where did you get the answer)
The purple loosestirfes are a beautiful wild plant. They are native of Eurasia, more specifically Macedonia, and they have been brought by accident in North America. Once there, this plant managed to spread out very quickly in the wetlands, rapidly overtaking the territory of the native species. The problem became very serious, especially in Michigan, so the scientists from the universities started to make projects in order to stop this invasive species from destroying the local flora and even fauna. The biggest steps made have been by releasing natural enemies of this plant where it has spread out. The natural enemies are all insects, and they have selectively been released to be only harmful tot he purple loosestrife, but not the other plants. The effects have been good, as the insects managed to reduce the density of this invasive species by a lot, opening up space for the native species to thrive again.

If a transgene is inserted into an animal embryo
only the non-reproductive cells should contain the transgene DNA.
the animal should become sterile as an adult.
every cell should contain the transgene DNA.
the transgene protein will be expressed in all cells.
only the sperm and egg cells should contain the transgene DNA.
Answer:
Every cell should contain the transgene DNA.
Explanation:
The embryo is the very early stages of growth and development of an organism. An embryo develops from a zygote and contains about 16 cells. Inserting transgenes in these cells, therefore, will ensure that all the cells that divide from the embryo by mitosis have the transgene. The whole organism will, therefore, bear the transgene including its gametes. This foreign gene will, therefore, be inherited by the offspring of the organism.
What is the hole in the center of the iris? What is its function?
Answer:
Pupil
Function: serves as site for entry of light into the eyeball.
Explanation:
The hole in the center of the iris is called pupil. The light enters the eyeball through the pupil. The pupil is circular or oval in shape and appears mostly black in color. With the help of muscular iris, the size of the pupil changes according to the intensity of incoming light.
Hence, the pigmented portion of the eyes of vertebrates (the iris) has a hole in its center called pupil to allow the light to enter the eyeball.
In the alveoli, you would expect to find the alveolar:
a. PO2 greater than the capillary PO2 before exchange.
b. PCO2 greater than the capillary PCO2 before exchange.
c. PO2 greater than the alveolar blood after exchange.
d. All of the above.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Before exchange, it is expected that the capillaries (that have deoxygenated blood) will have more carbon dioxide while the lungs will have more oxygen. This allows for oxygen to diffuse into the capillaries while carbon dioxide diffused into the lungs during the exchange.

What happens if calorie intake exceeds TDEE for a significant period of time?
Answer:
The individual gains weight if if calorie intake exceeds TDEE for a significant period of time.
Explanation:
TDEE ( Total daily energy expenditure) is the number of calories burnt in the day. TDEE involves the energy from the basal metabolism and physical activity.
The value of TDEE exceeds the value of basal metabolic rate. If calories intake in an individual exceeds the TDEE, an individual body's gain weight for the significant period of time.
When the charge inside the cell returns to the resting potential following depolarization, it is called:
Answer:
Repolarization
Explanation:
Repolarization refers to the phase during which the resting potential is restored after depolarization. This means that the inside of the axon membrane becomes negative again compared to the outside.
Repolarization is obtained by the functioning of K+ ion channels. The opening of K+ ion channels allows the K+ to move outside of the axon. Movement of positively charged ion (K+) outside of axon makes the inside negative again and the resting potential is restored.

Mrs. Jones blood typing results showed agglutination with the plasma containing anti - B antibodies only. What is her blood type and what blood can she receive in order to save her life?
Answer:
Mrs Jones Blood type= B type.
Safe transfusion from: B and O blood type.
Explanation:
In the given example, the anti-B antibodies are present in the donor plasma. Since anti-B antibodies react with B antigen present on the RBCs of blood, Mrs. Jones should have B antigen on the surface of her RBCs. The blood type with only B-antigen on the RBC's surface is blood type "B".
Hence, her blood type is "B" type which has B antigens that react with anti B antibodies of the donor plasma causing agglutination and hemolysis of RBCs.
She can get the blood of B and O blood types. Blood type O is a universal blood type as it does not have B or A antigens on the surface of its RBCs to initiate the agglutination.
What is the signal for a vesicle storing peptide hormone to move to the plasma membrane and release contents of vesicle?
a. Activation of an integrin receptor
b. Activation of a g-protein
c. Activation of an enzyme linked receptor
d. Increase in [Ca++]i
e. Increase in [Na+]i
Answer:
(d). Increase in [Ca++]i
Explanation:
Peptide hormones are hormones, synthesized by polymerization of amino acids that generally bind with receptors present on membrane of target cells. These hormones are produced in ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and are packed into secretory vesicles in Golgi for export.
These peptide hormone storing vesicles move to membrane of target cell and release their content due to increase in intracellular calcium (Ca++) ions concentration.
Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

B. contain vitamins that aren't water-soluble and can cause toxicity. C. are endangered species. D. have high levels of metals in them from cancer-causing pesticides.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
I would say D because chemicals from farms run off into local waters where you catch fish from. These chemicals were not made for human consumption, some were made to keep animals off farms.
Ingest other fish that are poisonous to humans, so that they are poisonous and unsafe to consume.i.e, option A is correct.
What is food chain?Food chain, in ecology, the sequence of transfers of matter and energy in the form of food from organism to organism. Food chains intertwine locally into a food web because most organisms consume more than one type of animal or plant.
In a food chain a primary consumers eats the producer, a secondary consumer eats the primary consumer and then the tertiary consumer eats the secondary consumer. The level of poison will increase as it goes down the food chain so the tertiary consumer will have the highest amount of toxins in it.

48) Capillaries lack smooth muscle and elastic or fibrous tissue reinforcement. Instead, theirwalls consist of ________, supported on a cellular matrix called ________
There’s no fill in words ?
Capillaries are formed from a single layer of endothelial cells, supported by a basement membrane. This structure allows them to be flexible, yet strong, and permeable to materials passing through them.
Explanation:Capillaries, unlike other types of blood vessels, lack smooth muscle and elastic or fibrous tissue reinforcement. Instead, their walls are composed of endothelial cells, which are supported on a cellular matrix known as the basement membrane or basal lamina.
In a large capillary, several endothelial cells may line the lumen, while in a small capillary there may be only a single cell layer that wraps around to contact itself. The basement membrane, which binds the endothelium to the connective tissue, provides strength while maintaining flexibility. It is permeable, allowing materials to pass through it.
