Answer:
Glucagon
Explanation:
It is a peptide hormone secreted by the pancreas, raises blood glucose levels
Glucagon stimulates glycolysis, the breakdown of glycogen and the export of glucose into the circulation
Which statement best describes how a tree and a mouse get the glucose they need as a source of energy?
O Both a tree and a mouse get glucose indirectly from other living things
A tree makes glucose using the sun's energy, and a mouse gets glucose by eating other living things
Both a tree and a mouse use the sun's energy directly to produce glucose.
Both a tree and a mouse convert ATP into glucose.
Answer:
The correct answer is
A tree makes glucose using the sun's energy, and a mouse gets glucose by eating other living things.
Explanation:
A tree uses photosynthesis to create energy in the form of glucose. On the other hand, a mouse cannot use the sun's energy to produce glucose through photosynthesis. Therefore the mouse must obtain the glucose by consuming other organisms, such as plants and insects.

explain the importance of dimensioning in biology
Answer:
Even if you make a drawing to scale, it would be difficult to determine the exact precision that is needed.
It would be time consuming to measure each of the lines to determine measurement.
The basis for modern part dimensioning is the need for interchangeable parts (being able to buy something off the shelf that fits what you already have)
Explanation
When dimensioning, it is good technique to avoid listing the dimension more than once through out the drawing.
If you need to list a dimension more than once, for accuracy or ease of viewing, you must encase the dimension within a set of brackets.
Answer:
The purpose of dimensioning is to provide a clear and complete description of an object. A complete set of dimensions will permit only one interpretation needed to construct the part. Dimensioning should follow these guidelines. Accuracy: correct values must be given.
When there is plenty of oxygen available in the muscles, the condition is referred to as being:
Answer:
Aerobic condition.
Explanation:
When there is plenty of oxygen available in the muscles, the condition is referred as aerobic condition because the muscles do respiration in the presence of oxygen. The presence of oxygen to the muscles produced huge amount of ATP which can be used by the body in different activities as compared to anaerobic condition where there is no oxygen and the body produce less ATP for the body.

Hemoglobin is the oxygen carrying compound found in human blood. It is found to contain 0.3335% iron by mass. It is already known that one molecule of hemoglobin contains four atoms of iron. What is the molecular mass of hemoglobin in g/mol
Answer:
66986.51 g/mol
Explanation:
According to this question, Hemoglobin- an oxygen carrying compound in the blood, is found to contain 0.3335% iron (Fe) by mass.
* One molecule of hemoglobin contains four atoms of iron
If 1 atom of Fe = 55.85g/mol
Then 4 atoms = 4 × 55.85 = 223.4g/mol
So there are 223.4g/mol of Fe in one molecule of hemoglobin
If hemoglobin contains 0.3335% iron by mass, this mathematically means that:
223.4g/mol of Fe ÷ molar mass of hemoglobin = 0.3335%
That is;
223.4/M.M = 0.3335/100
Cross multiply
0.3335 M.M = 22340
M.M = 22340 ÷ 0.3335
M.M = 66986.51
Hence, the molar mass of hemoglobin is 66986.51g/mol.

can anyone help me out? thx
the turnips have a model called Turnip's model that's why the turnips have been selectivity breed from field mustard.
Turnip is a type of root vegetables that belongs to the mustard family.
Turnips are ready to harvest 40 to 55 days after planting. If harvesting the leaves, they are ready when they reach four to six inches in height. If only harvesting the leaves, cut them from the plant when they reach the desired size, leaving one inch of leaves above the crown of the plant. More leaves will grow in their place.

The Ames test involves mutants of Salmonella that __________ the ability to make histidine in the __________ of a suspected mutagenic chemical.
Answer:
gain; presence
Explanation:
The Ames test is a lab methodology used to determine whether a particular chemical substance can trigger mutations in an organism, which can be used to indicate whether exposure to the target chemical compound is associated with a greater risk of developing cancer. The Ames test can use a strain of Salmonella typhimurium carrying mutations in a key gene that encodes a protein involved in histidine biosynthesis. In consequence, this S. typhimurium strain is considered to be a 'histidine auxotroph' which is unable to synthesize histidine residues. After exposure to the target chemical compound, bacteria are then cultured in a medium lacking histidine. Subsequently, bacteria that regain the ability to synthesize histidine proliferate to form colonies. Finally, the number of these colonies is then compared with the number of mutants in absence of the potential mutagen, enabling thus the determination of the mutagenic potential of the target chemical compound.

Explain how the structures in the gas exchange system cause inspiration.
Inspiration is a process in which the lungs receives air from the extrinsic environment.
The process of gas exchanges involves a number of organs and tissues in the body of certain organisms. However, respiratory muscles as part of the body, are used in gas exchange and chiefly used in inspiration.
Inspiration occurs as a result of muscles contraction (for instance, diaphragm and the external inter-coastal muscles) and thus, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity, which leads to the decrease in the atmospheric pressure in the lungs to supply air (oxygen) into the body.
In other way round, the relaxation of the these muscles brings about expiration i.e., release of gas out of the body.

The doubling time of a bacterium was measured at two different temperatures. Which results would be expected of a thermophile
Answer:
Increase in high temperature.
Explanation:
The population of the thermophile bacteria increase at high temperature as compared to other bacteria at high temperature because thermophile bacteria needs high temperature for growth and survival. Thermophile bacteria that flourish at relatively high temperatures ranging from 41 to 122 °C (106 and 252 °F) so we can conclude that the thermophile bacteria increase in population in the high temperature conditions.

Why do you think it is functionally important that the bones of the os coxae fuse together rather than remain independent bones
Answer:
Provides more strength.
Explanation:
It is functionally important that the bones of the os coxae fuse together rather than remain independent bones because the fusion of bones of the os coxae increases their strength and they can perform their function very well. If the fusion of bones of the os coxae did not occur and they remain independently so they can't bear the load of the body and so the function is also adversely affected.

n the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the myofilaments slide over each other, resulting in the overlappying of actin and ____________ .
Answer:
In the sliding filament model of muscle contraction, the myofilaments slide over each other, resulting in the overlappying of actin and myosin.
Explanation:
Sliding filament theory explains the way muscles contract; each sarcomere (functional unit of muscle) contains superimposed thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments that are interconnected by cross bridges. According to the theory, the shortening of the length of a sarcomere is produced by the two types of filaments that slide over each other; large intermolecular forces between the myosin head and the crossed bridge cause the head to tilt. Through this power glide, the fine filaments are drawn between the thick filaments of each sarcomere. The contraction is triggered by a stimulating nerve impulse that causes an action potential to spread through the sarcomere.
Place the tiles in order so that they describe a population undergoing natural selection
Not all tiles will be used
Answer:
A new species of hawk that preys on rabbits is introduced to the habitatThe hawks have more success in catching rabbits with white fur because they are easier to see in the habitatThe rabbits´ white fur mutate so their fur is tan or brownThe next generation of rabbits has a higher proportion of individuals with tan and brown fur.Explanation:
Natural selection is an evolutive force that can act favoring an allele or against it, according to how it affects the fitness of individuals. Natural selection selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.
When many organisms in a population sharing the same trait die, it is because they did not have good fitness, so they were not adapted to the environment and its pressures. The alleles coding for that trait were not good for the fitness of the animals, so they do not get to survive.
These individuals die before reproducing, so they could not transfer their genetic charge to the following generation. Eventually, the alleles coding for the trait will decrease in the population, probably near zero. Natural selection is acting against this phenotype. Other alleles will be beneficiated, and their frequency in the population will increase.
This change in alleles frequency is what we call adaptation.
Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype. Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.
In many cases, adaptations can be correlated to environmental factors or selective pressures applied by other organisms or habitats.
Let us remember that a mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants. Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual. These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.
So, in the exposed example, we are focussing on rabbits populations.
• The selective pressure or modeling environmental factor is predation by the introduced hawk.
• The rabbits´ response to predation is the survival of only those that carry mutations ⇒ tan or brown fur
• Natural selection benefits these mutations.
• Tan or brown rabbits survive and increase their fitness.

It’s not multiple choice, I need help coming up with two more answers that are true
Answer:
Phosphorylation activation:
1- p53 (transcriptional activator)
2- CDK8-cyclin C (transcriptional inhibitor)
Explanation:
Phosphorylation is a well-studied post-translational modification mediated by a protein called 'kinases' which phosphorylates specific protein substrates. This post-translational modification (phosphorylation) acts as a reversible switch capable of modulating protein function. Phosphorylation at specific amino acid residues (e.g., tyrosine, serine) controls protein function by triggering conformational changes in the phosphorylated protein. For example, P53 is a transcription activator activated by phosphorylation at multiple sites in its N-terminal region. P53 activates transcription of different genes by modulating protein-protein interactions with different substrates (e.g., MDM-2, CBP/p300, TFII). On the other hand, cyclins are proteins that have no enzymatic activity but are able to activate cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) by binding to them. CDK8-cyclin C (SRB10-SRB11) is a negative regulator of transcription that is able to inhibit transcription by phosphorylating the carboxy-terminal domain of the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) before the formation of the preinitiation transcriptional complex.
A solution that is equal in solute concentration to that of the cytoplasm of a cell and causes a cell to neither lose nor gain water by osmosis is a(n)
Answer:
isotonic solution
Explanation:
The cell membrane is semi-permeable, so it allows to pass through certain solutes. By a process called osmosis, the water molecules move from a compartment of lower concentration of solutes to a compartment with higher concentration.
Therefore, if the concentration of solutes in the outside is higher than the concentration in the cytoplasm (hypertonic solution), the water molecules will move from the interior to the exterior. Conversely, if the cytoplasm is more concentrated than the outside (hypotonic solution), the water molecules will move from the exterior to the interior. If the cytoplasm has the same solute concentration as the outside, the solution of the outside is called isotonic, and no water net flux will be produced.
