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).

If i wanted to look at a onion cell what type of microscope would be best to use
poizon [28]
It is best to use regular light microscopes to observe that.

For simple structures, onion cells doesn't require a very large magnification. Magnifications for such as 100X or 150X is already enough to determine the different structures of onion cells such as cell walls or cytoplasm.

It is not very suitable to use a electron microscope especially as high school or college students, as electronic microscopes can be really expensive, usually only top universities have them. Also, it is quite complicated to control the microscope comparing to the common light microscope that we can easily find in many school laboratories. They're easy to function and they're a lot cheaper.

So, it's best advised to use a light microscope, unless if you're really into studying very detailed structures and you're experienced in doing these sorts of things, then you should use a electron microscope.

To visualize the structure of DNA, which has a width of 10 nm, which microscope would be best
damaskus [11]

Answer:

Electron microscope

Explanation:

Instead of using light, it utilized a beam of electron for illumination. Because an electron beam has a shorter wavelength than light (up to 100, 000 times shorter), they have a higher resolution power and are therefore able to view sub-cellular structures including DNA.

The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ________, while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of
AnnZ [28]

Answer:The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM , while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

Explanation: ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM or  RER is a cisternae organelle that have two faces: the cytosolic face and the nucleus face. The cytosolic face is studded with ribosomes that are responsible for synthesizing proteins, a process known as translation. In the cells that produce hair, keratinocytes, the main protein synthesized is keratin.

SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM is an organelle that lacks ribosomes and the function is related to lipid synthesis, different case that proteins synthesis. Specialized cells located in the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) produces the oils that coat the hair called sebum to lubricate the hair. These cells secrete the sebum in an holocrine way. The composition of the sebum is made of triglycerides, wax esters, squalene.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer: .OH, O2-, H2O2

Explanation:

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive and unstable species containing oxygen. ROS are formed when oxygen is partially reduced, thus they are all radicals with very high reactivity, attacking membrane proteins such as ion channels etc

Examples include peroxides (H2O2), superoxide (O2-), hydroxyl radical (.OH)
