Of the three salivary glands (Sublingual, submandibular and parotid glands), the parotid is the largest. They are all paired.  The parotids are located on either side of the mandibular ramus. It produces ptyalin, an alpha-amylase, and is responsible for 20% of the total saliva content produced into the mouth.

An element has a half-life of 30 years. If you start with 10g of this element, how many grams of this element would remain after
drek231 [11]

After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u>Half-life:</u>

  • In simple words, Half-life can be defined as the amount of time needed for a quantity to fall to half its value as contained at the beginning of the time period.
  • In this problem the half-life of the element is thirty years, then after thirty years half of the sample would have decayed and half would be left as it is.
  • After thirty years (The first half-life ) 30 /2 = 15 g declines and 15 g remains disappeared.
  • And after another sixty years (The two half-lives) 15 /2 = 7.5 g declines and 7.5 g remains disappeared.
  • After two half-lives or 60 years, 7.5 g of the element will be left.

Bingel [31]

Complete question:

You hang a swing from a live tree branch that is roughly parallel to the ground. What will likely happen over time as the tree grows? Check All That Apply

  1. The swing will move farther away from the tree trunk.
  2. The swing will move up. away from the ground.
  3. The swing will remain in its original position.
  4. The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Answer:

The swing's ropes will become embedded in the branch.

Explanation:

The trunk or branch strangulation sadly occurs very often. When people tie a young tree with different materials, such as a rope, or a cable, or a wire, and leave it there, the leash will eventually strangulate the tree.

Strangulation occurs because the tree keeps growing, applying pressure on the leash. The vascular system is in the trunk perimeter under the crust. Through the years, the pressure increases, the trunk is even more strangulated, and the vascular system is affected. One of the first and principal effects of strangulation is the increase in the trunk or branch diameter over the leash. This diameter change is because elements of the sap can not go back to the roots and keep near the strangulation. At this point, there are two options:

  • The tree can sort this by including the leash in its tissues, surrounding and absorbing it, and keep growing normally

or

  • The vascular system is so affected that the tree can not sort this problem and so, those parts of the tree located over the leash dye.

<em>In the exposed example, it seems that the tree could make it and included the swing's ropes in the branch. </em>

In a particular plant, green seed color is dominant to yellow seed color. If a homozygous
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 100% will be heterozygous green.

Explanation:

Since both parents (green and yellow) are homozygous and green is dominant, when they are crossed all the resultant offsprings will have both genes of green and yellow in their genotype but will appear as green( phenotype) because the green colour is dominant and has masked the yellow colour which is recessive.
