Chapter 33, Problem 3STP
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Neurons or the nerve cells are involved in the sending and receiving of signals from the brain. In the structure of the neuron, the axon is found that allows the transmission of a chemical and electric signal to the cell. The transmission of the signal may also carry out with help of dendrites. The cell body is also termed as soma that carries the genetic materials and is involved in the maintenance of the structure of a neuron and provides energy for the activity. The cell body consists of a nucleus and specialized organelles. The axon is organelles that have a tail-like structure that connects the cell body to the specialized junction termed as axon hillock. Myelin helps the axon to transmit the signal. Dendrites are a fibrous root-like form that branches from the cell body. This organelle involves the receiving and processing of the signal and is termed as dendritic trees.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 3STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (A) 1.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (A) The label 1 represents the axon ending. The axon is organelles that have a tail-like structure that connects the cell body to the specialized junction termed as axon hillock and its end is called the axon ending. This connects one neuron to the other and the transmission continues So, the correct answer is option (A).
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (B). The label 2 represents the axon. The axon is organelles that have a tail-like structure that connects the cell body to the specialized junction termed as axon hillock. Myelin helps the axon to transmit the signal. So, this is an incorrect option.
Option (C). The label 3 represents dendrites. Dendrites are fibrous root-like form branches from the cell body, this organelle is involved in the receiving and processing of the signal and is termed as dendritic trees. So, this is an incorrect answer.
Option (D). The label 4 represents the cell body. The cell body consists of a nucleus and specialized organelles. So, this is an incorrect answer.

- What's the difference when drawing omega-6 and omega-3?arrow_forward. Consider a base substitution mutation that occurred in a DNA sequence that resulted in a change in the encoded protein from the amino acid glutamic acid to aspartic acid. Normally the glutamic acid amino acid is located on the outside of the soluble protein but not near an active site. O-H¨ A. What type of mutation occurred? O-H B. What 2 types of chemical bonds are found in the R-groups of each amino acid? The R groups are shaded. CH2 CH2 CH2 H2N-C-COOH H2N-C-COOH 1 H Glutamic acid H Aspartic acid C. What 2 types of bonds could each R-group of each of these amino acids form with other molecules? D. Consider the chemical properties of the two amino acids and the location of the amino acid in the protein. Explain what effect this mutation will have on this protein's function and why.arrow_forwardengineered constructs that consist of hollow fibers are acting as synthetic capillaries, around which cells have been loaded. The cellular space around a single fiber can be modeled as if it were a Krogh tissue cylinder. Each fiber has an outside “capillary” radius of 100 µm and the “tissue” radius can be taken as 200 µm. The following values apply to the device:R0 = 20 µM/secaO2 = 1.35 µM/mmHgDO2,T = 1.67 x 10-5 cm2/secPO2,m = 4 x 10-3 cm/secInstead of blood inside the fibers, the oxygen transport and tissue consumption are being investigated by usingan aqueous solution saturated with pure oxygen. As a result, there is no mass transfer resistance in the synthetic“capillary”, only that due to the membrane itself. Rather than accounting for pO2 variations along the length ofthe fiber, use an average value in the “capillary” of 130 mmHg.Is the tissue fully oxygenated?arrow_forward

One of the first things you wish to do is determine how mammals, birds, and reptiles are related. Like any good scientist, you need to consider all available data objectively and without a preconceived “correct” answer. In pursuit of that, you should produce a phylogenetic tree based only on morphological features that show birds and mammals are more closely related. You will then produce a totally different tree, also using morphological features, that shows birds and reptiles are more closely related. Do not forget to include all three groups in both your trees. Based solely off the trees you produce, which relationship would you consider the more likely and why? Once you have answered that question, provide a brief summary of the “modern” understanding of the relationship between these three groups.arrow_forward
