Explain why a signal cascade can be useful in certain cell processes

1 answer:

7 0

A signal cascade is a series of chemical reactions which are triggered by a stimulus acting on a receptor that is then transduced to the intracellular space through second messengers. Finally, effector molecules receive the signal causing a cellular reaction to the initial stimulus. A signal cascade is very useful because it facilitates and accelerates the communication between cells that could be in different parts of a living organism. This communication is vital for cell processes in complex multicellular organisms.

Jennie finds a correlation between marital satisfaction and sexual frequency. Based on this information, what conclusion should

faltersainse [42]

Correlation is the measure of the similarity in the trend of two variables or between the pattern of functional change between any two variables. A high correlation indicates that one variable follows the same pattern as the other variable does. However through correlation, one cannot say that the two variables are functionally related to each other. Example, pattern of weather change and change in population of humans. These two are not related but similarities in their pattern of change will wrongly indicate that there's a relation between the two. Similarly between marital satisfaction and sexual frequency, a correlation may mean that one varies like the other. However, marital satisfaction is also strongly depending on economical situation of the subjects, behaviour, complex emotions, etc. And the order of these variables will influence the marital satisfaction. Her findings are not useful in establishing any relationship between the two.

Which features do all new rocks formed near an oceanic ridge share? Check all that apply.

slega [8]

Answer:

Options (1), (2), (3) and (4)

Explanation:

Mid oceanic ridge is the region along the spreading of the sea floor occurs. Along this ridge, the magma come out to the surface, and lava forms pillow shaped rocks such as pillow basalt. Basalt is the dominant rock type in the oceanic crust.

There occurs striped patterns that are oriented parallel mid oceanic ridge, and this strips depicts the magnetic field of the earth, and it keeps on changing on each eruption of this magma beneath the ocean long this ridge.

The mid oceanic ridge suggests the spreading of the sea floor and the rocks present at this ridge are younger than the rocks that are away from the ridge.

This rocks are comprised of the molten iron material that are present in the mantle and suggest the magnetic field of the earth during the time of eruptions.

Hence, the correct answers are options (1), (2), (3) and (4).
