The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers
The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:
• The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)
• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation
• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
Each body structure from chemical to systemic level
Answer:
Small intestine, liver, bile and lipase.
Explanation:
Digestion of fat occurs in the small intestine. Its digestion occurs with the help of bile, that is made in the liver. Bile breaks the fat into small drops that are easier for the lipase enzymes to change it. Lipase enzymes is a type of enzymes that works only on lipids and lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol. These substances are absorbed by our body and used it for producing ATP for the body.
Answer:
The statement that best explains the mechanisms of inheritance of gene "The allele for blue is an X-linked dominant allele because there are no blue male offspring in cross 2."
Explanation:
The mechanism for inheritance of gene is the condition, in which the mutation when happens in one allele and cause the effect in the relevant phenotype. Similar inheritance will also be seen when the mutated allele will produce new type of the protein which will have deletorious effect on the normal function of the cell. In case of the single gene, autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, X-linked dominant, X- linked recessive and mitochondrial are modes of inheritance.
C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.
