1. The glutamate causes an influx of ca2+ ions into the nerve cell akin to what occurs during depolarization. However, this occurs excessively without regulation (due to excessive stimulation by the glutamate) that eventually causes nerve injury through cytotoxic edema.
2. When the ca2+ levels are lowered during stroke, then nerve cell injury would be obviated hence enabling the chances of restoration of nerve cell function. This would happen because there would be no excess calcium ions to influx when the NMDA receptors are excessively stimulated by the glutamate molecules.
In biological systems, the chemical reactions concerning glucose and ATP as a product are vital for cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Shortcuts reduce the activation energy, which increases the net "gain" of products. I would go with the last one.
These are the correct answers to the following questions:
<span>1. Barney and Betty are about to have their first child. They both have "normal" feet but Barney's father has flat feet and Betty has a child from a previous marriage who has flat feet, meaning they are both heterozygous for the trait. What is the probability that they will have a boy with flat feet(recessive trait)?
A.25%
B.50%
C.100%
D.75%
2. humans, the ability to roll the tongue is a dominant trait. The inability to roll the tongue is a recessive trait. If two individuals homozygous recessive for this trait have a child, what is the chance that the child will be able to roll his tongue?
A.100%
B.0%
C.50%
D.25%</span>
I think it would be A because none of them can be dominant over the other since the heterozygous did not take a side.
