Why does compact bone have canaliculi, but spongy bone does not?

Biology
1 answer:
stich3 [128]3 years ago
4 0
Canaliculi are tiny canals in bone between osteocytes containing osteocyte cell processes. A spongy bone, also known as a cancellous bone, is a bone with latticelike appearance. A compact bone is a bone that is denser and has fewer spaces than cancellous bone. A compact bone has canaliculi but the spongy bone doesn't, because compact bone tissues form the outer layer of the bone while the cancellous bone tissues form the inner layer of the bone and it does not have osteons. Anosteon is a single central canal, with its contents, and the associated lamellae and osteocytes surrounding it.

Which sentence describes energy flow through a natural (not manufactured) system?
Bezzdna [24]

The correct option is this: A STRONG WIND BLOW ACROSS A MIDWESTERN PRAIRIE.

A strong wind is an example of a natural force. The prairie refers to a land fill with grasses and that is a natural factor also. Thus, a strong wind that is blowing across a prairie is generating a natural form of energy. The energy flow in the other options given are examples of man made devices.

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.

What is the difference between the IDENTITY of the protein and the CONCENTRATION of the protein? For this lab, what is the ident
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The identity of a protein has relation with its amino acid sequence. This sequence is determined by the nucleotide sequence of the DNA of the gene transcribed to RNA and translated into amino acids. Protein identity determines its structure and function. The concentration of a protein refers to the percentage of protein that exists in a given solution. One way to quantify the concentration is with a spectrophotometer calculating the absorbance of the protein.

The expression 40x2 – 65x + 50 represents the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon in degrees. If the interior angle
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

2(8x^2-13x+10)

Explanation:

There are 5 angle s in a pentagon and we are assuming are pentagon is a regular one so the angles are all congruent.

Let's let A represent the measurement of one of the those angles in our pentagon.

The sum of our angles in our pentagon would then be A+A+A+A+A or 5A.

But we are also given that this equals 40x^2-65x+50.

So that means 5A=40x^2-65x+50.

If we divide both sides by 5 we can find what one of our angles is in terms of x.  So let's do that A=8x^2-13x+10.

So we want to know the sum of two our angles, we want to know what is A+A or 2A.  2A=2(8x^2-13x+10).  To obtain that I just multiplied both sides of A=8x^2-13x+10 by 2.
