Which of the following best explains how normal plasma oxytocin levels at the onset of labor can still result in powerful uterine contractions?

#Unit 7. System Physiology – Animal
  1. The uterus begins secreting its own oxytocin, which inhibits progesterone and directly stimulates the fetal adrenal cortex.
  2. The descent of the fetus stimulates a hypothalamic feedback loop that rapidly increases systemic oxytocin to supraphysiologic levels.
  3. There is a marked upregulation of uterine oxytocin receptors at term, making the myometrium hypersensitive even to baseline oxytocin levels, initiating a positive feedback loop.
  4. Oxytocin receptors on the cervix and vagina directly stimulate the anterior pituitary to secrete oxytocin during early labor.

Oxygen-Evolving Organisms Have two Photosystems that Operate in Series, explain by emerson that is the Photosystem I preferentially absorbs far-red light of wavelengths greater than 680 nm; photosystem II preferentially absorbs red light of 680 nm and is driven very poorly by far-red light; Another difference between the photosystems is that,

a.) Photosystem I produces a strong reductant, capable of reducing NADP+, and a weak oxidant

b.) Photosystem I produces a very strong oxidant, capable of oxidizing water, and a weaker reductant than the one produced by photosystem II

c.) Photosystem II produces a strong reductant, capable of reducing NADP+, and a weak oxidant

d.) Photosystem II produces a very strong oxidant, capable of oxidizing water, and a weaker reductant than the one produced by photosystem I

The rate of photosynthesis when red and far-red light are given together is greater than the sum of the rates when they are given apart, the effect provided essential

evidence in favor of the concept that photosynthesis is carried out by two photochemical systems working in tandem but with slightly different wavelength optima

Organization of the protein complexes the photosystems I and II Are spatially separated in the thylakoid membrane, choose the correct arrangement of PSI and PSII on the membrane ;

a.) The PSI reaction centre and its associated antenna pigments and electron transfer proteins, as well as the coupling-factor enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP, are found almost exclusively in the stroma lamellae and at the edges of the grana lamellae

b.) The PSI reaction centre, along with its antenna chlorophylls and associated electron transport proteins, is located predominantly in the stromal lamellae

c.) The PSII reaction centre and its associated antenna pigments and electron transfer proteins, as well as the coupling-factor enzyme that catalyzes the formation of ATP, are found almost exclusively in the stroma lamellae and at the edges of the grana lamellae

d.) The PSII reaction centre, along with its antenna chlorophylls and associated electron transport proteins, is located predominantly in the grana lamellae
