The surface tension of a liquid results from an imbalance of intermolecular attractive forces, the cohesive forces between molecules: A molecule in the bulk liquid experiences cohesive forces with other molecules in all directions. A molecule at the surface of a liquid experiences only net inward cohesive forces.
Answer:
Imagine that NASA discovered a prokaryote-like organism. Initial experiments indicated they use the same DNA → RNA → protein system as life on Earth, except that
there are only 2 bases (A and T) in the Martian DNA, and
there are only 17 amino acids found in Martian proteins.
Based on this information, what is the minimum size of a codon for these hypothetical organisms?
Explanation:
In terms of function, bird wings are used to flap transversely, whereas butterfly wings are used to flap laterally. In terms of structure, bird wings are filled with hollow bones for easier flight, whereas butterfly wings are structured by scales and tiny hairs.
Since the cell is in a shoebox, we can assume this cell is a plant cell. the balloon most likely represents the vacuole, which is the largest organelle in the plant cell. the marbles could represent ribosomes, but ribosomes aren’t the only round organelle so i’m not sure about that one.
Balamuthia mandrillaris is an amoeba that was discovered in 1986 in the brain of the baboon that dies in San Diego Wild Animal Park. This can be found in the soil and water, therefore it is freely living. It is known to cause the neurological condition known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis. In a study published by National Center for Biotechnology Information, it has a case fatality rate of >98%. Majority of this case can be found in warmer regions that affects individuals mostly of Hispanic origin. Documented cases had been reported from the Latin Americas in significant number, followed by the United States, Asian regions and some in Europe. However, a specific number of cases worldwide may never be known due to the following factors: lack of awareness, poor diagnosis and a poor public health system.
It is still yet to be known if its a serious public health concern worldwide.
