In mitochondria, ATP synthesizing chemical reaction take place in the1. Outer membrane2. Matrix3. Inner membrane4. DNA of mitochondria

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Inner membrane

The correct answer is inner membrane.

  • Mitochondria are made up of two membranes: the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes.
  • The inner mitochondrial membrane is folded several times to form cristae and contains F0-F1 particles, which are the electron transport system's particles.
  • The inner membrane is likewise densely packed with proteins involved in ATP generation, and here is frequently where ATP is produced.
  • Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy currency for cellular processes. ATP provides energy for both energy-consuming endergonic reactions and energy-releasing exergonic reactions, which require a small input of energy.
8464.

Squamous epithelial cells are found in the inner lining of1. Oesophagus2. Small intestine3. Ducts of salivary gland4. Kidney

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : Oesophagus

The correct answer is Oesophagus.

  • An epithelial tissue or epithelium has a free surface, which faces either a body fluid or the outside environment and thus provides a covering or a lining for some part of the body.
  • The cells are compactly packed with a little intercellular matrix.
  • There are two types of epithelial tissues namely simple epithelium and compound epithelium.
    • Simple epithelium is composed of a single layer of cells and functions as a lining for body cavities, ducts, and tubes.
    • Compound epithelium consists of two or more cell layers and has a protective function as it does in our skin.
  • Squamous epithelial cells are found in the inner lining of the oesophagus.

  • On the basis of structural modification of the cells, the simple epithelium is further divided into three types:
    • Squamous:
      • The squamous epithelium is made of a single thin layer of flattened cells with irregular boundaries.
      • They are found in the walls of blood vessels, oesophagus, and air sacs of the lungs and are involved in functions like forming a diffusion boundary. 
    • Cuboidal:
      • The cuboidal epithelium is composed of a single layer of cube-like cells.
      • This is commonly found in ducts of glands and tubular parts of nephrons in kidneys and its main functions are secretion and absorption. 
    • Columnar:
      • The columnar epithelium is composed of a single layer of tall and slender cells.
      • Their nuclei are located at the base. 
      • They are found in the lining of stomach and intestine and help in secretion and absorption.

What is the difference between amnion and chorion?

Answer»

Amnion is the membrane that covers the embryo. Chorion is the membrane that covers the amnion, the yolk sac and the allantois. The space delimited by the chorion and the amnion is called amniotic cavity and it is filled with aminiotic fluid. The amniotic cavity has the functions of preventing desiccation of the embryo and of protecting it against mechanical shocks.

8469.

Why can the allantois be considered an adaptation to terrestrial life?

Answer»

The allantois is an adaptation to dry land because in embryos of oviparous terrestrial beings, like reptiles and birds, the metabolic residuals cannot be immediately excreted to the aquatic surrounds (as fishes and amphibian larvae do). It was necessary then for the appearance of a structure capable of storing the embryonic excretes until hatching. 

8470.

b.  Chara—Monoecious

c.   Marchantia—Dioecious

d.  Cockroach—Dioecious

8471.

Why can the amnion also be considered an adaptation to terrestrial life?

Answer»

The amnion is also an adaptation to dry land since one of its functions is to prevent desiccation of the embryo.

8472.

What is the chorioallantois membrane present in the embryonic development of reptiles and birds? How does this membrane participate in the energetic metabolism of the embryo?

Answer»

The chorioallantois membrane is formed by juxtaposition of some regions of the chorion and the allantois. Since it is porous, the chorioallantois membrane allows the passage of gases between the embryo and the exterior thus making aerobic cellular respiration possible.

From which germ layer do the liver and the pancreas originate? What are other organs and tissues made from that germ layer?

Answer»

The liver and the pancreas are originated from the endoderm. Also from endodermal origin are the epithelia of the airway, the epithelia of the bladder, of the urethra and of the GI tube (except of the mouth and anus), the alveolar cells of the lungs and the thyroid and parathyroid glands.

8477.

What is the function of the vitellus in the vertebrate egg? How are these eggs classified according to the amount of vitellus within them?

Answer»

Vitellus (yolk) is the nutritive material that accumulates in the cytoplasm of the egg (zygote) with the function of nourishing the embryo. According to the amount of vitellus in them, the vertebrate eggs are classified as oligolecithal (little yolk), centrolecithal, or heterolecithal (more yolk diffusely distributed) and telolecithal (more yolk concentrated in one end of the egg).

8478.

From which germ layer do blood cells originate? What are other organs and tissues made from that germ layer?

Answer»

Blood cells have a mesodermal embryonic origin. Other organs made from mesoderm are: covering serous membranes like the pericardium, the peritoneum and the pleura, muscles, cartilages, dermis, adipose tissue, kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, gonads, blood and lymph vessels, bones.

8479.

What are twins? Genetically what are the two types of twins that can be generated?

Answer»

Twins are simultaneously generated (within the mother’s uterus) offspring. Twins classify according to zygosity as monozygotic or as dizygotic twins.

Monozygotic twins, also known as identical twins, are those originated from one single fertilized ovum (therefore from one single zygote); monozygotic twins are genetically identical, i.e., they have identical genotypes and are necessarily of the same sex. Dizygotic twins, also known as fraternal twins, are those generated from two different ova fecundated by two different sperm cells; so they are not genetically identical and they are not necessarily of the same sex. 

8480.

From which germ layer do the epidermis and the nervous system originate? What are other organs and tissues made from that germ layer?

Answer»

Epidermis and nervous system have the same embryonic origin: the ectoderm. The epidermal appendages (like nails, hair, sweat glands and sebaceous glands), the mammary glands, the adenohypophysis, the cornea, the crystalline lens and the retina are also derived from ectoderm.

8481.

What are somites?

Answer»

Somites are differentiated portions of mesodermal tissue longitudinally distributed along the embryo. The somites originate the muscle tissue and portions of the connective tissues. 

8482.

Hydrophobia and AIDS are caused by- (a) Protozoa (b) Worms (c) Virus (d) Bacteria

Answer»

Hydrophobia and AIDS are caused by  Virus.

8483.

How are animals classified according to the germ layers present in their embryonic development?

Answer»

Cnidarians are diploblastic, i.e., they present only endoderm and ectoderm. With the exception of poriferans, all remaining animals are triploblastic. Poriferans do not present differentiated tissue organization and so they do not classify regarding germ layers (although sometimes they are mentioned as diploblastic)

8484.

What are the archenteron and the blastopore? What is the stage of the embryonic development in which these structures are formed? What are the destinations of the archenteron and of the blastopore?

Answer»

Archenteron is the tube formed during gastrulation by means of invagination of the blastula wall inside the blatocele. It is the origin of the gastrointestinal tract. Blastopore is the opening of the archenteron to the exterior. The blastopore gives birth to one of the extremities of the digestive tube: the mouth in protostome beings, or the anus in deuterostome beings.

8485.

What are the cells produced in the first stage of the embryonic development called?

Answer»

The cells that result from the cleavage (the first stage of the embryonic development) are called blastomeres. In this stage the embryo is called morula (similar to a “morus”, mulberry).

8486.

After the blastula stage what is the following stage of the embryonic development? What is the passage from blastula to the next stage called?

Answer»

The blastula turns into gastrula in a process known as gastrulation.

8491.

What are the common contraindications of the contraceptive pills?

Answer»

There are medical reports associating the use of contraceptive pills with vomiting, nausea, vertigo, headaches, hypertension and other pathological conditions. Some research has attempted to relate the medical ingestion of estrogen and progesterone with increased propensity to cardiovascular diseases (like infarction, strokes and thrombosis) and to malignant neoplasias (cancers). Doctors must always be asked about the risks and benefits of the contraceptive pill prior to use. 

8492.

Answer»

Male germinal cells are Diploid.

8494.

How does the hypophysiscorpus luteum negative feedback work? What is the name given to the atrophied corpus luteum after this feedback process?

Answer»

After ovulation the estrogen and progesterone secretions from the corpus luteum inhibit the hypophyseal FSH and LH secretions (this happens by inhibition of GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone, a hypothalamic hormone). The blood concentration of these adenohypophyseal hormones falls to basal levels again. As LH lowers the corpus luteum (luteum means “yellow”) becomes atrophic and turns into the corpus albicans (“white”). With the regression of the corpus luteum the production of estrogen and progesterone ceases.

8495.

What is the importance of the uterine glycogenproducing glands?

Answer»

The uterine glands produce glycogen that can be degraded into glucose to nourish the embryo before the complete development of the placenta.

8496.

Answer»

Surgical sterilization process in female known as Tubectomy.

8497.

How does the contraceptive diaphragm work? What are the limitations of this contraceptive method?

Answer»

The contraceptive diaphragm is an artifact made of latex or plastic that when placed on the vaginal fundus covers the uterine cervix forbidding the passage of sperm cells through the cervical canal. To be more effective the diaphragm needs to be used together with spermicide. This method however does not prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

8498.

How does the female gamete move from the ovary to the uterus?

Answer»

The female gamete released from the ovary falls into the surrounding abdominal cavity and is collected by the Fallopian tube. The internal epithelium of the uterine tubes has ciliated cells that move the ovum or the fecundated egg cell towards the uterus. 

8499.

Lactation ceases if the anterior pituitary gland is destroyed. E. Milk ejection ceases if the posterior pituitary gland is destroyed.

Answer»

A. False These depress milk formation during pregnancy; prolactin stimulates milk formation. 

B. True By release of prolactin-inhibiting hormone (dopamine). 

C. True This causes prolactin secretion which initiates and maintains lactation after delivery. 

D. True Milk formation ceases due to loss of prolactin. 

E. True Due to loss of oxytocin in response to suckling.

8500.

How do contraceptive pills generally work?

Answer»

Contraceptive pills generally contain the hormones estrogen and progesterone. If taken daily from the 4th day after menses the abnormal elevation of these hormones acts upon the hypophysishypothalamus endocrine axis inhibiting the FSH and LH secretions. Since these hormones then do not reach their normal high levels during the menstrual cycle ovulation does not occur.

(Treatment with contraceptive pills must be initiated under medical supervision.)
