Why does moss grow better in the shade?

1 answer:

5 0

Moss isn't fussy as to conditions. It needs shade--the more the better--moisture, acid and rather poor soil; exactly the opposite, in most ways, from grass. You can try transplanting moss from the woods, but the best way to acquire species that will enjoy your site is to make sure the soil is acidic, water it a bit in dry spells and wait to see what turns up. One exception is lawn moss. This is often a more sun-tolerant species and you can usually get quite a bit just by raking it out of a lawn. Try it as a mulch around flowers or shrubs.

Acetylcholine receptors on skeletal muscles are described as being ionotropic receptors because

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

they are Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ion channels.

Explanation:

Ionotropic acetylcholine receptors are also called nicotinic acetylcholine receptors because beside acetylcholine (Ch) they respond to nicotine. These receptors are primary receptors in muscle for motor nerve-muscle communication that controls muscle contraction.

Two molecules of ACh are required for receptor to open. Since the receptors are linked to ion channels, the channels open. Opening of the channel allows positively charged ions to move across it: sodium enters the cell and potassium exits.

The gravity of the Sun and Moon pulls earth's surface in opposite directions:

sweet [91]

Answer:

The Moon's gravity pulls more on the planet than the water on the opposite side. These two water bulges on opposite sides of the Earth aligned with the Moon are the high tides. Spring tides occur when the Earth, the Sun, and the Moon are aligned, increasing the gravitational pull on the oceans.

Use the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your calorie needs. Show your calculations to explain how you arrived at your answe

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The Harris Benedict Equation is a formula that determines the total daily energy expenditure (calories) using BMR with some activity factors.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is defined as the amount of calories one would burn without doing anything for 24 hours. It uses variables of weight, age, height and gender to calculate BMR.

BMR calculation = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)

In Harris Benedict Equation, BMR is multiplied by activity factor to determine calories need.

The activity factors in Harris Benedict Equation are:

for no exercise = 1.2

exercise for 1 to 3 days/week or light exercise = 1.375

exercise for 3-5 days/week or moderate exercise = 1.55

exercise for 6-7 days a week or hard exercise = 1.725

exercise for 2 times training = 1.9

So, calculation for my calorie needs is as following:

BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x 50 kg) + (3.098 x 164.592 cm) - (4.330 x 23 in years) = 974.945

Calorie needs = BMR x 1.55

= 974.945 x 1.55

= 1511.16 calories

Which of the following processes explains how a single gene could code for more than one protein

Rufina [12.5K]

<h2>Answer:</h2><h3 /><h3>Alternative splicing is a process that occurs during gene expression and allows for the production of multiple proteins (protein isoforms) from a single gene coding. ... For example, if a pre-mRNA has four exons (A, B, C, and D), these can be spliced and translated in a number of different combinations.</h3>
