Answer: A neuron has three main parts: dendrites, an axon, and a cell body or soma , which can be represented as the branches, roots and trunk of a tree, respectively. A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.
The axon (tree roots) is the output structure of the neuron; when a neuron wants to talk to another neuron, it sends an electrical message called an action potential throughout the entire axon.
The features of neurons help them to carry out their function efficiently:
they have a long fibre (axon) so they can carry messages up and down the body over long distances
in a stimulated neuron, an electrical nerve impulse passes along the axon
the axon is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath - the fatty sheath increases the speed of the nerve impulses along the neuron
at each end of the neuron are tiny branches (dendrons), which branch even further into dendrites - the dendrites receive incoming nerve impulses from other neurons

The correct answer is A. 20.2 s
Explanation:
The table shows there were three trials to measure how much time a toy car needs to move 1 meter on different surfaces. Now, to find the average time on a surface simply add the results of the three trials and divide this by number 3 (number of trials). The process to know the average time on dirt is shown below:
20 + 19.2 + 21.5 = 60.7 - Results of each of the trials
60.7 ÷ 3 = 20.2 s - Divide the total by the number of trials
This means the average time for the toy to move on dirt was 20.2s
Prokaryotes are usually smaller than eukaryotes. They also don’t have a nucleus so DNA is in the cytoplasm. They also have no organelle membranes where as eukaryotes do. Domains of prokaryotes include Bacteria and Archaea, and all eukaryotes are in the domain Eukarya. Both can be free living, but only eukaryotes can be multicellular. Prokaryotes first appeared on earth about 3.5 billions then eukaryotes appeared about a billion years later. Etc....
Answer:
X is the concentration of the substance being measured and Y is the response from the instrument that is being used to measure
Explanation:
A calibration curve is the plot of known concentration of substances where x is the increasing known concentration and Y is the response, typically "absorption" taken from the instrument that is used for measuring. This curve is then used to find out the concentration of the unknown substance by using it's absorbance and comparing it with the calibration curve. For example:
Concentrations and absorbance readings are as follows
0.5mg/mL=10 nm
1.0mg/mL=15nm
1.5mg/mL=20nm
2.0mg/mL=25nm
This data is plotted on a calibration curve. Next we measure the unknown substance the absorption is 20nm. We can suggest that the concentration is 1.5 mg/mL. If there are readings that fall inbetwen values then the formulat to calculate the right concentration would be y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Linear regression uses the modification of the slope formula y= a + bx to best see how the data of the water samples would fit on the slope of the calibration curve. X is the independent variable , b is the slope of the line and a is the y-intercept.
Extrapolation would be the action of calculating data that are outside the calibration curve, assuming the trend would continue.
