Answer:

From food

Explanation:

Food energy is a chemical energy used by humans through the process of cellular respiration. Food contain macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, water, vitamins, and minerals that are necessary for the human metabolism and they are broken down and used by the series of metabolic steps (glycolysis, Krebs cycle, electront transport chain and oxidative phosphorilation). Digested macromolecules should be used either as a source of energy or as building blocks for the cell.

At the end of catabolic processes within an organism food energy is transformed into energy usable by the cell-ATP.

timofeeve [1]

The correct answers are a, c, d.
There are three types of capillaries: continuous, sinusoidal (or discontinuous) and fenestrated. Continuous capillaries are the most common type and they form tight junctions. Sinusoidal capillaries form an incomplete lining with several gaps, which allow red and white blood cells and some serum proteins to pass. These capillaries are mainly found in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Finally, fenestrated capillaries facilitate the movement of smaller molecules and plasma proteins and are mainly found in the small intestine. The majority of the fluid transport happens through the fenestrated capillaries.

To calibrate the x-axis for 14C decay, you have to convert half-lives to number of years. Recall that 14C has a single half-life

hjlf

Answer:

d. 28,650 years

Explanation:

Since 14C has a single half-life of 5,730 years

The number of years that is going to make up 5 half-lives for 14C will be;

5,730 years × 5 = 28,650 years

What do the parietal cell produce? What type of environment is created?

Kobotan [32]

Parietal cells produce gastric acid (hydrochloric acid) in response to histamine (via H2 receptors), acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (gastrin receptors). Parietal cells contain an extensive secretory network (called canaliculi) from which the HCl is secreted by active transport into the stomach.

lawyer [7]

Nowadays, different countries are constantly emerging and expanding their liabilities which may include the field of medicine. The disease that is being discussed by the instructor that is considered nearly eradicated is probably the measles. This disease is caused by Paramyxovirus which is a major respiratory pathogen among infants and young children. Measles is also known as “rubeola virus”, an acute, highly respiratory symptoms and a maculopapular rash that affects the mouth, head, body and extremities. It begins with the appearance of Koplik spots which may end up to some complications like symptomatic encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis(SSPE). In order to prevent this type of disease MMR(Measles, Mumps & Rubella) Vaccine is needed. According to some of the reports, it is still common to some of the countries, but WHO campaigns to eradicate the disease worldwide by the year 2020.
