<span>Wax is a simple form of lipid molecule. It consists of a long-chain of alcohol and a fatty acid. Many of the natural occurring wax found in nature are used as ingredients for products found in stores like ointments, hand cream, and cosmetics.

Plants have naturally occurring wax on their leaves and stems; these serve as coatings to prevent them from losing excess water. Other forms of wax found in nature are beeswax, used by bees to make their cones for honey and eggs; sperm whales have spermaceti wax found in their blubber; and carnuba wax, is an ingredient commonly used for car waxes, commonly found in Brazilian palm trees. </span>

valentina_108 [34]
It is positive because our body needs 37C to perform metabolism properly so sweating helps to balance the temperature. We lose water but water is generally provided to body by drinking or any food that has water.

¿Qué características crees que deben tener los métodos anticonceptivos para ser eficaces en el control de la natalidad?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Los métodos anticonceptivos para ser eficaces en el control de la natalidad deben ser seguros para las personas que los utilizan, es decir, no tener efectos adversos, o al menos, la menor cantidad posible. Ser reversibles, es decir, que no generen infertilidad de por vida. Deben ser además fáciles de usar, cómodos y fáciles de conseguir, esto es, económicos. Además deben ser eficientes en su objetivo de evitar la concepción, que es para lo que fueron creados.

Explanation:

La tasa de eficacia de un método anticonceptivo se mide por la cantidad de embarazos que se producen cada 100. Esta parece ser la característica más importante, y si bien es una de las más importantes, hay que tener en cuenta todos los otros factores mencionados, es decir que la gente pueda acceder a ellos, sean cómodos, seguros y a un precio coherente.

Read each of the sentences that describe what happens either during mitosis or meiosis. Drag each sentence into the correct box.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

MEIOSIS:

- Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome

- Tetrads form and crossing over sometimes occur

- Paired homologous chromosome line up across the center of the cell.

- Four haploid daughter cells form that are not identical to the parent cell

MITOSIS:

- Homologous chromosomes do not pair

- One row of chromosomes line up at the center of the cell.

- The cell nucleus divides only once

- Two diploid daughter cells form that are identical to the parent cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis and Meiosis are the two cellular divisions that occur in living organisms. Mitosis is the kind of cell division that produces two diploid daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell while Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells (gametes) that are genetically different from the parent cell.

Based on the general description of the two cell divisions above, the following events take place in them respectively:

1) MEIOSIS:

- Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome (similar but non-identical chromosome from each parent).

- Tetrads form and crossing over sometimes occur. Tetrads are the structures that form when two homologous chromosomes pair while crossing over is the exchange of chromosome segment between two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. These two only occur during meiosis.

- Paired homologous chromosome line up across the center of the cell during metaphase I of meiosis.

- Four haploid daughter cells form that are not identical to the parent cell. Note that meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of the parent cell by half.

2) MITOSIS:

- Homologous chromosomes do not pair during mitosis.

- One row of replicated chromosomes (sister chromatids) line up at the center of the cell during metaphase.

- The cell nucleus divides only once in mitosis as opposed to twice during meiosis.

- Two diploid daughter cells form that are identical to the parent cell. Note that mitosis retains the chromosomal number of the parent cell.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

How is the endocrine system related to the nervous system in terms of its regulatory activity?

For one, the endocrine system uses chemical signaling (hormones, produced by glands) while the nervous system uses electrical signaling (neural impulses). The signal transmission of the nervous system is fast because neurons are interconnected, but the functions are more short-lived.
