An object stays at rest unless some outside force acts on it. This is the first law of motion. The third law of motion states that for every action there is equal and opposite reaction. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed in a closed system. All these three statements are the known laws. They do not explain any phenomenon, rather they state what is universally true. Hence, they are not examples of scientific theories.

The statement that 'the species evolve by passing the advantageous traits' is an example of scientific theory as it explains the possible mechanism of evolution.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option B - Species evolved by passing the advantageous heredity traits'.

Which of the following does not influence the time necessary for a nerve impulse to be transmitted?
Pie

Answer:

e. whether or not the impulse begins in the CNS

Explanation:

Nerve impulse is action potential movement through the axon. Nerve impulse propagation has its velocity (speed at which nerve impulse travels down the axon) which depends on many factors. For example, myelination increases the conduction velocity. Also, the larger the diameter of an axon, the higher the velocity is. Nodes of Ranvier present on the axons, and myelin sheath between the nodes act as a good electrical insulator which also increases the velocity.

When a mitochondrial chaperone helps a mitochondrial matrix protein into the matrix by biased diffusion, the chaperone is said t
Elis [28]

Answer:

c. Brownian ratchet

Explanation:

Mitochondria are cell organelles. They are known as the power house of the cells. The energy needed to power the cell is generated by the mitochondria. They functions like a digestive system.

The mitochondria chaperone are proteins that helps the proteins along pathways for their folding. They shield the proteins from other proteins and protect them from binding the folding process. The chaperone are mainly concern with the folding of protein.

The chaperone acts as a Brownian ratchet as the mitochondrial chaperone guides the matrix protein into matrix by the biased diffusion process.

When a scientist conducts an investigation, which of the following is the first thing he or she should do?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Make an observation

Explanation:

The scientific method or any scientific investigation, starts with observation. Observing natural phenomena, to be specific, will ellicit questions that can be later on, if applicable made into a hypothesis. These are generally the first steps (put together).

After a hypothesis is made, testing or an experiment will ensue to test whether the hypothesis will hold or not.
