Question:<br> If the soil is made up of large particles, what size will the air spaces be?
Vesna [10]
Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter.

People with diabetes often receive insulin injections. What effect does insulin have on the body?
Gennadij [26K]

The right answer is B.

Insulin is a hormone naturally secreted by the pancreas, specifically by specialized cells located in the islets of Langerhans. It allows glucose (sugar) to pass blood into the cells of the body. These will use glucose as energy or store it for future use.

In healthy subjects, insulin is secreted continuously. The body produces insulin according to the needs and foods consumed. For example, after a meal, the pancreas secretes additional insulin, allowing blood glucose to stay within normal limits.

Which of the following is not true of saliva?
cluponka [151]
The answer is <span>B. contains enzymes that begin the breakdown of proteins.

Saliva is watery substance secreted by salivatory glands. <em>It cleanses the mouth</em> and maintenance oral hygiene. <em>It moistens the food</em>, so the created food bolus could easier pass into the esophagus. It also <em>carries food chemicals to taste receptors</em> so they can be tested. It contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. Some of them are amylase, which begins the breakdown of the starch, and lipase, which begins the breakdown of triglycerides. <u>There are no enzymes in the saliva that break down proteins</u>.</span>

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>

Ryan wants to see if storing his batteries in the refrigerator will make them last longer. He goes to Target and buys four batte
bulgar [2K]
<span>The battery which Ryan kept in fridge, assuming it was well protected from any moisture or water, it would tend to play the CD longer than the one stored in a desk drawer. This is because storing batteries in a cool dry location while protected from any moisture or water, can help to prolong shelf life. This is due to the fact that low temperatures tends to slow down the electric current flow within the electrolyte fluid inside the battery, hence, the rate of power dissipation is reduced thus slowing down of the power drain from battery by the electric current flow . Thus, the battery stored in the fridge tends to have lost less power, if any, compared to the one stored in a desk drawer.</span>
