The correct answer is "regulating important involuntary bodily functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing and swallowing".
The area highlighted in this example is the posterior part of the brain, called the brainstem. The brainstem is comprised of three important parts, the medulla, the pons and the midbrain. The basic functions of this brain area include breathing, heart rate and sleeping.

What are the three types of work that ATP allows the cell to perform
hram777 [196]

Chemical work, mechanical work, and transport work.


Chemical: An example would be the ATP building large molecules such as proteins for the cell (s)

Mechanical: An example of this would be the contraction of your muscle (s). The reason for this is because In your  muscle cells, ATP transfers phosphate groups to certain proteins which allows them to then change shape starting a chain of events leading to your muscles contracting

Transport: An example would be transport work pumping solutes into a cell membrane.


Hope this helps! :)

LUCKY_DIMON [66]
One snapping turtle weighs 40 pounds, so 10 snapping turtles in a pond have a total weight of 400 pounds. The turtles eat largemouth bass (1 trophic level below them), and the bass in turn eat minnows (2 trophic levels below the turtles). So since only 10% of energy is passed in each trophic level, we would need:
(x lbs of minnows)(10%)(10%) = 400 lbs of snapping turtles
x = 40000 lbs of minnows (Choice C)

What would you think would happen if you reduce the incubation time to 30 minutes?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Enzymatic activities is usually efficient when it happens at an optimum temperature. This temperature aids its proper functioning and too much of heat could as well denature the enzyme.

When you reduce the incubation time of an enzyme to 30 minutes , the enzyme may or may not have enough time to reach the amount of free energy needed to drive the enzymatic reaction.

DNA contains what instructions for protein and what helps assemble the proteins?
ad-work [718]
To carry out these functions, DNA sequences must be converted into messages that can be used to produce proteins, which are the complex molecules that do most of the work in our bodies. Each DNA sequence that contains instructions to make a protein is known as a gene.The DNA housed in the nucleus is too large to move through the nuclear membrane, so it must be copied by the smaller, single-stranded RNA (transcription), which moves out of the nucleus to ribosomes located in the cytoplasm and rough endoplasmic reticulum to direct the assembly of protein (translation).
