When arrector pili muscles contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps.

The arrector pili muscles attaches to the base of the hair and also to the dermal tissue from both the ends. When goosebumps appear, this action takes place due to the contract of these muscles. These muscles are triggered by the norepinephrine.

Hair follicle is a tube-like pore surrounding the root of the hair. These follicles are responsible for the hair growth. Various hormones, neuropeptides and immune cells are involved in this process of hair growth.

The muscles that contract (during cold or fright), the slanted hair follicle is pulled upright, dimpling the skin surface with goosebumps are called arrector pili muscle.

The arrector pili muscle are tiny muscle that attaches to the base of the hair follicle at one end  and to the dermal tissue on the other end. When the body feels cold or fright the body generate heat and the arrector pili muscle contract all at once, that causes goosebumps on the skin.

The arrector pili muscle acts as the thermoregulator. Straight stand hair increases air trapping, so that the heat loss from the body decreases. The arrector pili muscle are mediated by the sympathetic nervous system.

. Which biomolecules do not function in supporting a cell?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Generally  the primary organic molecules  in cells which support the metabolic and biochemical process of the cells are bio molecules Theses are Carbohydrate

Protein

Lipids

and Nucleic acids of DNA  and RNA. They can also be the  minute  hormones and metabolites present in the cells.

Generally, CHO provide  structural supports to the cells,and acts as sources of energy.

Protein forms most enzymes for biochemical reactions,and aids movements, through muscle contractions. Besides,muscles are made of protein.Therefore protein forms the  structural basis of the muscles.This aids movement and locomotion for support.

Lipids are the richest source of energy for the cell,and provides support the cells membrane.

The nucleic acids,are primary concerned with the transfer of inheritable characteristic from mother cells to the daughters during  reproduction.While the DNA is the genetic information been transferred,the RNA is the vehicle  for transmission of the genetic information as protein  from the parents' nucleus to the offspring. Thus the nucleic acid roles it for transmission of  genetic information as genes,(DNA) and translation of these genes as proteins(RNA).Hence,Nucleic acids  does not participate in the cells' support.

Therefore

How does genetic variation affect the type of traits or the adaptations in the individuals of a species?
Gnesinka [82]
Genetic variation describes the genetic differences among individuals of the same species that are naturally occurring.  <span>Each genotype within a population usually has different degrees of fitness to an environment. Mating between same species with favored genes guarantees survival of the population in their chosen environment. As the environment changes, the mating behavior between species may again change resulting to a different gene pool to guarantee survival. </span>

Select the correct answer. Which guiding principle for forensic scientists states that a forensic scientist should be committed
sashaice [31]

<u>Answer</u>:   C. competency and proficiency

<em>Competency and proficiency’ guiding principle of forensic science states that a forensic scientist should be committed to lifelong learning. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A forensic scientist should be well aware of the <em>new technologies</em> and should have the expertise in using this new technology and equipment. The seriousness of the role that a <em>forensic scientist</em> is engaged in makes it necessary for him to be a continuous learner throughout his lifetime.

<em>Professionalism guiding principle</em> explains the need for a forensic scientist to remain impartial and conduct fair examinations.  Clear communication principle mentions the importance  of accuracy and clarity in a <em>forensic science report. </em>
