The X symbol looks too much like the multiplication symbol, it also makes using it as a variable more confusing.
nasty-shy [4]3 years ago

Answer:

The X looks too similar to the multiplication sign. So, to avoid multiplication signs that look like x's, people use *, ( ), · , instead of an X. This avoids much confusion.

Why do you think the H-bonds only last a short time before breaking and reforming?
lbvjy [14]

Answer: The room temperature thermal energy is about 2.5 KJ/mol, where areas hydrogen bond energy is in the range of 6-15 KJ/mol. So it must not only for thermal fluctuations. (please be specific with reference)

ch4aika [34]
I believe the somatic motor association area is responsible for the coordination of the learned motor responses. The somatic motor association area is also the motor cortex which is a region of the cerebral cortex that helps in planning control and execution of voluntary functions among other functions.

Which of the following is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual? a) It can be converted to fat.
grin007 [14]

Answer:

B) It can remain, circulating in the blood indefinitely, this is not a fate of glucose circulating in the blood of a healthy individual.

Explanation:

Glucose is produced by breaking down carbohydrates, principally in the small intestine, when we eat a meal containing carbohydrates.This glucose enters the bloodstream.When glucose is in excess, the body stores it away in the form of glycogen in a process stimulated by insulin. Glycogen is a large highly branched structure, made from lots of glucose molecules linked together.Glycogen is mainly stored in the liver and muscles, therefore, excess glucose is removed from the blood stream and stored.

Insulin signals to the cell to translocate Glut 4 to the cell membrane, so that large amounts of glucose can be taken into the cell, via the Glut 4 transporters and converted into glycogen and used as a fuel for cellular activities. Furthermore with the help of insulin, converted into fatty acids, circulated to other parts of the body and stored as fat in adipose tissue.

What description best explains why viruses can become more pathogenic to host that were not affected by the virus before?
ANEK [815]

Answer:

New cells are naive to the infectious cells who attack it or they are not well prepared to deal with the different scenarios. But, the cells who are attacked before has the set or sequence of the viral or bacterial genome strand been identified by them, which leads to more safety or protection from these foreign bodies.

Explanation:

  • Mechanism To attack a host cell:

The viruses and other infectious material enters and attacks the host cell, by breaching its membrane wall and installing or leaving a gene of its own inside the cell. Which then combines with the genome of the cell and it goes through the process of replication, translation etc,along with the host cell machinery. Which then spreads the specific gene strand more in the environment

  • <u>Camouflage obtained by the infectious cell to hide it self:</u>

After the genome enters the host cell at first it does not recognizes the strands or foreign cells, as they cover there body with a camouflage sort of membrane and they look more like the body cells.

  • <u>Reactions by the host cell and as a whole the body:</u>

The organisms detects the genome of the infections cells or strand, as they store the data about it in its server or database. As if the next time they were under attack then precautions will be there by the host cell to deal with it.

As for the cell who are never attacked before will be less safe to deal with these foreign bodies.

What is true about chromatin
qwelly [4]
At the smallest level of organization, the DNA wraps itself around small globular proteins called histones. Complexes of histones and DNA form nucleosomes, which appear as "beads" on the DNA strand. Chromatin refers to the decondensed DNA that has not formed separate chromosomes.
