Researchers conducted an experiment to investigate the effects of a valinomycin treatment on skeletal muscle cells. Valinomycin

is a naturally occurring substance that can be used as a drug. The results of the experiment are presented in the table. Which of the following claims about the effects of the valinomycin treatment is best supported by the data presented in the table?
A. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

B. The valinomycin treatment caused an increase in the activity of the Golgi complex.

C. The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the lysosome.

The valinomycin treatment caused a decrease in the activity of the mitochondria.  

Explanation:

When valinomycin treatment was given, the rate of ATP production is reduced in the cells treated. Since mitochondria are involved in ATP synthesis, it clearly shows that valinomycin inhibits mitochondrial action.  

Valinomycin being a selective K+ ionophore, it can transfer potassium ions through selective lipid membranes. This can cause potassium effux in organelles like mitochondria leading to marked loss of potential of mitochondrial membrane and apoptosis in cells.

The effux of K+ ions forms a complex with valinomycin and slows down the mitochondrial part of ATP synthesis by reducing the proton-motive force, but does not block any oxygen electron transfer .

A period in 24-point font (.) is about 1mm in diameter. SARS-CoV-2 has a diameter of 80 nm. The prefix “milli” means 1000, which
diamong [38]

Answer:

Approximately 12,500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses

Explanation:

According to this question, the period described is 1mm in diameter. Since 1millimetre(mm) is 1000metre(m), this means that the period is 0.001m in diameter.

Also, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has a diameter of 80 nm (1nm = 10^9m).

Since 10^6nanometres (nm) or 1,000,000nm makes 1millimeter (mm), 80nm of the virus will be:

= 80/1,000,000

= 0.000080mm or 8 × 10^-5mm

To calculate how many of the SARS-CoV-2 virus will fit into the period, we divide the diameter of the period (in mm) by the diameter of the virus (in mm).

That is; 1 ÷ 8 × 10^-5

= 1/8 × 10^5

= 0.125 × 100,000

= 12,500

Therefore, approximately 12500 SARS-CoV-2 viruses will fit in the period.

Natasha2012 [34]
Over 90% of all parasympathetic fibers are derived from the cranial nerve X, which is the vagus nerve. 
The vagus nerve influences most organs below the neck. The activation of this nerve affects heart rate, blood pressure, production of stomach acid, movement of food through the intestines and breathing.
