Scientists or science writers may extrapolate from a lab study of cells in a Petri dish to the human body. Why is this likely to

be "bad science"?

IrinaK [193]2 years ago

Answer:

It is feasible to extrapolate the outcomes when the cellular mechanisms are the same, but <em>in vivo</em> experimental evidence is required to confirm these results

Explanation:

In molecular biology, it is a routine activity approach to obtain conclusions by using cell lines and then extrapolate outcomes to <em>in vivo</em> studies. However, it is imperative to obtain the confirmation <em>in vivo </em>showed in<em> in vitro</em> conditions (i.e., <em>in vitro</em> results can be used as a working hypothesis). The scientific method is a rigorous process that enables the extrapolation of the results from <em>in vitro</em> experiments when we have the correct model information (although is required to confirm positive findings in the real model).

Carine went to the doctor for a physical. Her blood pressure was 80/50. What describes Carine’s condition, and what is the most
Korolek [52]

Hello!! Since there is no mention of weight in the question, I would assume that she is pregnant. Whenever someone's blood pressure is low, it is referred to hypotension. Whenever someone's blood pressure is high, it is referred to hypertension. I would say your best answer is A - She has hypotension because she is pregnant. I hope that is the right answer you are looking for. Have a great day!! :)

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: upper esophageal sphincter.

Explanation:

The alimentary canal is a very long tract responsible for the digestion of the food. It is composed of several organs with many different and important functions. The alimentary canal also has a few sphincters, which are muscular valves that open and close when needed for the food to pass or be retained.

The first sphincter is the upper esophageal sphincter. One particularity of this sphincter is that is one of the few sphincters in the body that opens and closes under our conscious control, which happens when we decide to swallow our food.

From the first to the last, the order of the sphincters in the gastrointestinal tract is: upper esophageal sphincter, lower esophageal sphincter or gastroesophageal sphincter, pyloric sphincter, ileocecal sphincter, and anus.

AnnZ [28]

Answer: Primary

Explanation: The primary level of protein structure explains the sequence of amino acid linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains . A slight change in the amino acid sequence of Hemoglobin can alter hemoglobin function.

The primary level of protein structure is essential in the function of the protein any alteration in the amino acid sequence can disrupt the function of the protein.

What are some non-examples of carbohydrates
malfutka [58]
Non carbohydrates refers to those food which are not carbohydrates, which means that, these food do not supply energy and one can not possibly grow fat by eating them too much. Examples of non carbohydrate foods are egg, meat, fish, poultry, etc.
Non carbohydrates foods usually play other roles in the human system other than providing energy.
