Hey there,

Well, When taking antibiotics,the antibiotics affect the gut bacteria that help us digest food. Like when you eat alot, you have an upset stomach and alot of times you will then have diarrhea.

Hope this helps.

Ans.

Antibiotics are antimicrobial substances, which can be used to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi. Many useful microbes are found in our body, such as good bacteria found in intestines that help in food digestion.

When we use antibiotics to kill pathogenic bacteria, these antibiotics also kill these good bacteria. This results in improper digestion and causes diarrhea. Thus, diarrhea is a common side effect due to antibiotics as these antibiotics also kill gut microbes that help in digestion.

Which two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants?
Elanso [62]

Two systems most directly interact in the fuzzy millipede's defense against ants are :

<u>muscular and integumentary</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

  • The fuzzy millipede, Polyxenus fasciculatus, is found in Texas and is preyed upon by most species of ants.
  • Most millipedes defend themselves with a variety of chemicals secreted from pores along the body, although the tiny bristle millipedes are covered with tufts of detachable bristles.
  • Due to their lack of speed and their inability to bite or sting, millipedes' primary defence mechanism is to curl into a tight coil – protecting their delicate legs inside an armoured exoskeleton.
  • Reproduction in most species is carried out by modified male legs called gonopods, which transfer packets of sperm to females.
  • Millipedes overwinter, so they may hide in cracks or crevices throughout the whole winter and emerge in the spring.
  • These insects live in dark, damp places and feed on decaying plant life, sometimes damaging crops. But they can serve a good purpose too.
  • To protect itself against the ants, it ejects fibers from a tuft located at the tail end of its body. When an ant attacks, the millipede flexes its back end toward the ant and wipes the tufts against it.

When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's term
marta [7]

Answer:

When a neuron fires and its electric charge travels down the axon, causing neurotransmitters to be released by the neuron's terminal buttons, an <u>action potential</u> occurs.

Explanation:

An action potential, commonly termed as impulse, can be described as messages which are transferred in electrical form. Action potential are caused due to different electric charges. An action potential is generated by  a stimulus which causes transfer of sodium ions into the axons resulting in depolarization of the neuron. To overcome this, potassium ion will enter the cell and an action potential will be generated.

The action potential causes release of the neurotransmitters so that signal messages could be transferred.

4. Discuss the concept of blended unity of mind and body, its implications for school physical activity programs, its implicatio
iragen [17]

Explanation:

This statement is correct because the concept of integrating body and mind in physical activity was responsible for the expansion of physical activity, in addition to activities that promote only the well-being of the body aesthetically, but as a set of activities responsible for improvement of health, intelligence, emotional, creativity, as well as an instrument of social integration. The practice of physical activity releases endorphins in the brain, which is a natural substance produced by the brain that is associated with well-being, mood and joy, and this effect occurs during and after physical activity.
