Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Stratum corneum 5. : Thick superficial layer of flat, keratinized, dead cells; responsible for dandruff.

b. Stratum granulosum 3.: Cells flatten and fill with keratin, resulting in a grainy appearance.

c. Stratum lucidum 4. : Clear layer found only in thick skin; cells full of keratin.

d. Stratum basale 1. : Deepest layer; site of rapid cell division and melanin production.

e. Stratum spinosum 2.: Live keratinocytes connected by desmosomes produce pre-keratin

Explanation:

The epidermis has five layers, starting from the deepest one they are:

The stratum basale: is the layer that has the germinative cells, called keratinocytes.

The stratum spinosum: the keratinocytes are connected, and they produce the precursor of keratin and lipids.

The stratum granulosum: the name of this stratum is due to the appearance of the cells. They produce keratohyalin, and the lipids produced in the previous layer are released, creating the layer that protects the skin against dehydration.

The stratum lucidum: They are only in thick skin, like the one that is in the sole of our feet. The cells do not have a nucleus. They are filled with keratin, which is the component of thick skin.

The stratum corneum: the more superficial layer, it is made of dead cells filled with keratine. When new cells ascend to this stratum, the old ones have to be removed by exfoliation or natural peeling.

Answer 2

The five distinct layers of the epidermis with different features and roles are given below: a) Stratum corneum- 5, b) Stratum granulosum- 3, c) Stratum lucidum- 4, d) Stratum basale-1, e) Stratum spinosum- 2.

The epidermis (outer layer of the skin) is the part of the skin that’s visible to the unaided eye and works to protect the body. The epidermis doesn’t have any blood vessels, so it relies on the dermis (the layer of skin directly beneath the epidermis) for nutrients and waste disposal.

The epidermis protects the internal organs, the muscles, the nerves, and the blood vessels. The epidermis also creates new skin cells and produces melanin, which gives the skin its color and reduces the absorption and effect of UV radiation. It protects the body physically, and it also protects the immune system.

What is a major obstacle in cellular respiration? It is limited by the low amount of energy stored in a glucose molecule It is an exergonic reaction, with much of the energy lost as heat, which potentially might damage cells It is an inefficient reaction and doesn’t provide eukaryotic cells with enough energy It requires oxygen to be actively pumped against its concentration gradient into cells

Answers

Answer:

It is an exergonic reaction, with much of the energy lost as heat, which potentially might damage cells

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is an important process carried out by the cells of living organisms in order to supply energy needed for their various cellular functions. Cellular respiration generally involves the breakdown of the stored energy in glucose molecules (in the presence of absence of oxygen).

However, since the process of cellular respiration releases energy as chemical energy (ATP) and majority as heat energy, it is said to be an EXERGONIC REACTION i.e energy-releasing. This hear energy released can damage living cells, which is a major setback to cellular respiration.

b. the increased flow and the stretch stimulates further relaxation of the arteriolar wall, lessening blood pressure.
c. the stretch stimulates further relaxation of the arteriolar wall, lessening blood pressure.
d. stretch stimulates vasoconstriction to reduce the flow.
e. the smooth muscle in the vessel walls stretches to accommodate the increased flow.

Answers

Answer:

d. stretch stimulates vasoconstriction to reduce the flow.

Explanation:

Afferent arterioles are a network of blood vessels that supplies the kidneys with blood. They branch from the renal artery and are important in blood regulation.

Myogenic mechanism is used to regulate blood flow to the kidney.

When blood flow increases to the afferent aterioles the smooth muscles its wall stretches and contracts to resist the pressure. This reduces blood pressure.

When the pressure reduces the smooth muscles relax to allow more flow of blood.

In a murder trial, which person testifying to the jury is classified as an eyewitness?

The medical examiner who found poison in the victim's stomach
An expert discussing evidence collected during an investigation
A defendant's best friend, who was out of town when the crime was committed
A person who claimed to see a car of a certain make/model leaving the scene of a crime

Answers

Answer:

A person who claimed to see a car  of a certain make/model leaving the scene of a crime.

Explanation:

Key words to the answer:

"See"

"leaving the scene of a crime."

Eyewitnesses have a firsthand glimpse of events that occurred and they usually have to have seen something that has occurred to be considered a eyewitness, in this case the person who saw the Make/Model of the car that left the crime scene has some claims that can be used to find the criminal and also when the eye witness sees the car they can  tell which direction it went in to give a bit of a clue(although this depends in certain situations). The eye witness  can also be anyone who was anywhere near the crime scene when it happened or even a little bit after it happened.

Answer:

D. A person who claimed to see a car of a certain make/model leaving the scene of a crime

Explanation:

It is D because it would be the closest possible lead for finding who did the crime. Anyone around the time of the murder and anyone going in and out at the time is a suspect, even the eyewitness. If the eyewitness saw someone leaving the location moments before it was reported, that would be suspicious.

(lol among us vibes. it hyped me up for this moment.)

The medical examiner who found poison in the victim's stomach

It would not be this one because they were called after the crime took place, the medical examiner only saw the aftermath of said way to k!ll the person.

An expert discussing evidence collected during an investigation

The expert collected data of the crime scene after it had happened. Otherwise, this would not have been possible. So, they were not an eyewitness since they were not present at the time.

A defendant's best friend, who was out of town when the crime was committed

How would the addressed person out of town see the crime scene? Maybe they were threatened to leave the city? Anyway, it just would not make since for the best friend to be an eyewitness at the time of the crime if they were miles away.

Glucose and starch powders were mixed in 10 ml of water and poured into a cellulose bag, which was then sealed at both ends and placed in a beaker of water. After 30 minutes, the presence of glucose in the beaker was recorded with a testing paper, which turns green if glucose is present. The presence of starch was recorded by adding a few drops of iodine, which causes the solution to turn violet if starch is present.

Under normal conditions, gases diffuse through small holes in the leaves of a plant. When the weather is very hot and dry, plants may close these openings to conserve water. How are the closures most likely to affect photosynthesis? O They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the leaf They decrease the rate of photosynthesis by preventing carbon dioxide from entering the leaf They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of oxygen in the leaf They have little or no effect on photosynthesis because gases do not take part in the process​

Answers

Answer:

They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the plant.

Explanation:

It is hot and dry when these openings close, so the Sun has to be out. Photosythesis is caused when the Sun and water are used by a plant to make food.

The answer to the question should be they increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the plant.

A diagram of photosynthesis is below.

The closures that are most likely to affect photosynthesis are they increasing the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the plant. The correct option is A.

What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis, the method used by plants and other autotrophic organisms to make food, converts carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen, both of which are vital for life.

Photosynthesis depends on some factors. These factors are water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide. If there is a scarcity of any factors, it impacts the process of photosynthesis. If the water does not get enough water, it will dry and there is less chlorophyll for the plant to carry out photosynthesis.

Therefore, the correct option is A. They increase the rate of photosynthesis by increasing the amount of water in the leaf.

This movement aids the cell membrane in preserving its function as a partition separating the interior and exterior cell surroundings. Thus option B is correct.

What is the role of transport protein in fluid mosaic model?

Integral proteins protrude from each end of the phospholipid bilayer and are tucked inside. Larger molecules like glucose can be transported through cell membranes with the aid of integral proteins.

They have sections that match the polarity of the phospholipid bilayer, known as "polar" and "nonpolar" regions.

This movement aids the cell membrane in preserving its function as a partition separating the inside from the outside environments of the cell.

Therefore, in the fluid mosaic model, the transport protein is connected to the phospholipid bilayer's outer layer.
