Patients with damage to Wernicke’s area have difficulty
- A. coordinating limb movement.
- B. generating speech.
- C. recognizing faces.
- D. understanding language.

Introduction:
A part in the cerebral cortex which is responsible for the speaking or writing any language is known as Wernicke’s area. It is present in the posterior part of the brain.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct answer:
The Wernicke’s area is responsible for understanding the language. Therefore, option (d) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The fluency of the words is connected through this Wernicke’s area. If an individual suffers damage in Wernicke’s area, then the affected individual is not able to understand the words and the meaning of sentences properly.
Option (d) is given as “understanding language”.
As “patients with damage to Wernicke’s area have difficulty in understanding language”, it is the right answer.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a) is given as “coordinating limb movement”.
The difficulty in coordinating in the movement of limbs is possible when the damage is in the cerebral hemisphere. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b) is given as “generating speech”.
The generation of speech is the final result of the problem in Wernicke’s area in which the understanding of language and sentence framing is difficult. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (c) is given as “recognizing faces”.
The damage in the area of brain may lead to the situation in which the individual is not able to recognize the faces. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect.
The Wernicke’s area is the part of the brain which controls the language understanding of the individual and make them able communicate by helping in the formation of sentence.

Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter. Put a square around the other substance that can also diffuse through a membrane (1000x slower but also without a transporter).

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below. Note that carriers are not indicated with half-colored shapes in this chart. Use the letter "N" to indicate the dominant neurofibromatosis allele, and the letter "n" for the normal allele.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
