All fibers of the semimembranosus muscle are converged to insert on the posterior tibia.  

Semimembranosus muscle is amongst the hamstring muscles that are present in the posterior region of the thighs. These are the muscles responsible for the extension of the hips and flexion of the knee. The innervation to this muscle is provided by the tibial nerve.

Tibia is also called the shinbone. It is one of the two bones of the lower leg.  The bone carries the maximum of the body's weight and gains support from the fibula, the other bone of the lower leg. Tibia is also the most commonly fractured bone in maximum people.

1.A scientist wants to prevent a culture of live cells from producing a particular protein. Which of the following will the scie
SIZIF [17.4K]

1. Answer:   A

Explanation: For a cell to form proteins, the specific types of proteins are coded for by the genes in DNA (found in the chromosomes of the nucleus). To produce proteins, the genes are first transcribed by RNA polymerase to form messenger-RNA. The mRNA is then translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm of the cell.

2. Answer: B

Explanation: Translation of genes into proteins is dependent on the sequence of nucleotides. They are translated in sequences of 3 nucleotides known  as codons. Therefore adding a nucleotide on a piece of DNA causes what is referred to as a frame-shift mutation. The 3 sequences (of codons) is interrupted and shifted by one nucleotide. Therefore, the codons change and the amino acids translated will also change.

3. Answer: A

Expanation: Producers are significant in a food chain because they incorporate the energy of the sun into the food chain. This is why they are at the base of the food chain and have the largest biomass. They are consumed by primary consumers which are consumed by secondary consumers which are consumed by tertiary consumers and so on.  

4. Answer: D

Explanation: Plants are consumed by herbivores. Therefore, a decrease in plant population due to drought was resulted to decrease in herbivore population. This is due to stiff competition by the herbivores for the scarce plant population. Carnivores consume herbivores. Due to a decrease in the herbivore population, then the carnivore population would also decrease.

5. Answer: A

Explanation: Burning of fossil fuels emits carbon dioxide gas which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gas traps infrared wavelength of lights hence warming up the atmosphere, causing global warming. Reduction  in use of fossil fuels will hence alleviate an increase in global temperature hence protect coral in the oceans from bleaching.

You will develop a brief portfolio detailing the history of tsunamis in a modern society that could be used to teach others.
Maru [420]

The 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Indian Ocean Tsunami gave us a vivid description of menace of major tsunamis. It also suggested that tsunami science and engineering were inevitable to save human society, industries, and natural environment.

An answer can be found in Japan. Japan is the country the most frequently hit by tsunamis in the world. The experiences are well documented and are continued as the local legends. In 1896, the tsunami science started when the Meiji Great Sanriku Tsunami claimed 22,000 lives. An idea of comprehensive countermeasures was officially introduced after the 1933 Showa Great Sanriku Tsunami. The major works taken after this tsunami, however, were the relocation of dwelling houses to high ground and tsunami forecasting that started in 1941. The 1960 Chilean Tsunami opened the way to the tsunami engineering by elaborating coastal structures for tsunami defense. The 1983 Japan Sea Earthquake Tsunami that occurred during a fine daytime cleared the veil of actual tsunamis. The 1993 Hokkaido Nansei-Oki Earthquake Tsunami led to the practical comprehensive tsunami disaster prevention used at present, in which three components, defense structures, tsunami-resistant town development and evacuation based on warning are combined.

The present paper briefs the history of tsunami research in Japan that supports countermeasures.

What is the ONLY organ located in the region (umbilical)?
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

small intestine

Explanation:

Umbilical. The umbilical region contains the umbilicus (navel), and many parts of the small intestine, such as part of the duodenum, the jejunum, and the illeum. It also contains the transverse colon (the section between the ascending and descending colons) and the bottom portions of both the left and right kidney.

Explain why a person making an emergency call should never be placed on hold
Ad libitum [116K]
Its important not to put a person making an emergency call on hold because since it might be a patient who is a serious case and might lose consciousness. It is therefore always important to obtain the name, phone number, and location at the start of the call so that the patient can be found if they lose consciousness or is disconnected. Additionally its is important to make sure one stays connected with the patient until help arrives to ensure their safety.
