Answer:

disrupting membrane integrity                

Explanation:

Surfactants work by disrupting membrane integrity. Surfactants disrupt cell membrane integrity by absorbing at the cell membrane and destroying the cell membranes bilayer thus lowering the surface tension of the cell which results in leaky spots resulting in the cell being more permeable.

Answer: surfactants works by disrupting membrane integrity.

Explanation:

Surfactants are surface active chemical agents( soap and detergents) that has the ability to alter the interfacial tension between two liquids or between liquid and solids. They are amphiphilic organic compounds which plays important role as

- dispersing agents

- emulsifying agents and

- foaming agents.

Their mechanism of action is through disruption of membrane integrity and create emulsions that mechanically carry away microbes. I hope this helps, thanks.

Answer:

Play Therapy

Explanation:

Play therapy is a type of psychotherapeutic orientation by which play is used as a medium to help an individual, most especially children, to express their feelings. This therapy helps with the brain development of a child and enables a play therapist respond to the needs of a child, most especially the metal health needs.

Through play therapy, a child is naturally able to communicate his feelings as he is guided, and this helps children to become aware of themselves ad accept who they are.

What do monosaccharides provide for cells?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

They are building blocks for larger polysaccharide which are important in structural rigidity of cells.

Polysaccharides such as Starch and Cellulose which are instrumental in cell structure and rigidity are formed from chains of monosaccharides.

They are also useful in the provision of energy which is used in cell functions (metabolism).

Monosaccharides such as Glucose, Sucrose are useful in provision of energy for physical and metabolic activities of the body.

Neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called 5. motor neurons carry impulses from the brain
earnstyle [38]
<span>4. The neurons that carry impulses from the eyes to the spinal cord and brain are called the Sensory neurons. Sensory neurons are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical impulses.

 5. Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to and from the Muscles and glands. The motor neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth muscles, and therefore directly control all of our muscle movements. There are two types of motor neurons, those that travel from spinal cord to muscle (lower motor neurons) and those that travel between the brain and spinal cord (upper motor neurons)

6. The neuron's cell body has short, branched extensions called dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface are of the cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma (cell body). They are also covered with synapses.

7. In most animals and of different neurons are clustered in bundles called nerves Axons and dendrites. Axon is the elongated fiber that extends from the cell body to the terminal endings and transmits the neural signal. The larger the diameter of the axon, the faster it transmit information. Most neurons have only one axon, they transmit impulses from the cell body and also may or may not have a myelin covering.

8. The insulating membrane that surrounds a single axon in some neurons is called the Myelin sheath. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibres called axons, the long thin projections that extend from the main body of anerve cell or neuron. It is composed of proteins and lipids. The main function is to protect and insulate these axons and enhance their transmission of electrical impulses.</span>

Which of the following situations would most likely lead to a stable
zlopas [31]

Answer:

C. The rates of birth and immigration were balanced by the rates of  death and emigration .

Explanation:

A stable population size means that, over the years, number of individuals doesn't change significantly. This condition is only possible when the birth rate and immigration rate is balanced with the death rate and emigration rate. In this scenario, population size would not change much.

On the other hand, if a birth rate and immigration rate will increase, the population size in any area would be increased. This typically happens in growing cities. By contrast, if death rate and emigration rate increases, the size of population will decrease. This happens mostly in rural areas.
