Acupuncture is an alternative medicine that uses wire-thin needles inserted by a trained practitioner into specific points in th

e body. This ancient form of pain relief and stimulation is said to benefit patients by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body. This practice became more widely recognized and used after a New York Times reporter wrote in 1971 of a positive experience with it after surgery. Those who doubt the effectiveness of this treatment for pain attribute the pain relief to a placebo effect: if a patient believes something will reduce their pain, they will experience some relief. The National Institutes of Health says that acupuncture relieves pain and reduces nausea and vomiting, although it is unclear how it works. The few adverse effects reported are due to improperly sterilized needles or improper delivery, making this still a fairly low risk option. For anyone considering acupuncture, they should first research its effectiveness for their specific condition. Summary of statements published by the National Institutes of Health Which statement best explains the scientific claim about how acupuncture treatment reduces pain?

The scientific claim regarding the effectiveness of the placebo effect that it provides only a placebo effect.
The explanations provided such as "by blocking channels which practitioners claim allow pain to travel within the body" are not backed by any conclusive scientific evidence. The best explanation is that it works because people believe that it will work, fitting into the description of a placebo.

The breaking down of sugars is called glycolysis. The prefix glyco- means sugar, and the suffix -lysis means breaking down. It's part of a three-step process in respiration, the other two is The Krebs Cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation. In the process of glycolysis, 2 ATP and 2 NADH are produced.

Eukaryotic cells have a large complex cytoskeleton. Especially in animal cells, they are very large why is this? What is the dif
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Eukariotic cells are bigger and complex than bacteria. The difference between cystoskeleton of eukariotic and bacteria cells is the type of proetein in each one.

Explanation:

The cytoskeleton is composed mainly in arrays of protein filaments. Its function is to maintain the shape of the cell, maintain in place the organelles (such as mitochondria, nucleus, etc.) and the transport throughout the cell. Every cell has a cytoskeleton, eukaryotic, bacteria and archaea. Eukaryotic cells are bigger than bacteria and have more organelles in them to maintain in place, this is why cytoskeleton are bigger and complex. The bacteria are a single cell, simpler, with a few organelles, the cytoskeleton is more simple but important. The cytoskeleton is similar in both, the difference is the type of proteins in them. In bacteria are simple proteins, meanwhile, in eukaryotic are a complex protein.
