garri49 [273]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A

Explanation:

ECM proteins are significant in the development of the extracellular matrix which is responsible for supporting and connecting cells together in the formation of tissues. The extracellular matrix is also a major component of connective tissue that is composed of collagen fibers connecting tissues. Mutations of these proteins will result in connective tissue disorders such as scurvy, sarcomas, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and etcetera.

An organ system consists of a group of organs that performs specific functions necessary for the survival of an organism. Humans
scoundrel [369]

The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.  

• Neurons are the basic unit of the nervous system. All cells of the nervous system are comprised of neurons. Neurons contain nerve processes which are "finger-like" projections that extend from the nerve cell body. The nerve processes consist of axons and dendrites which are able to conduct and transmit signals.  

• The brain is the control center of the body. One of these furrows, the medial longitudinal fissure, divides the brain into left and right hemispheres. Covering the brain is a protective layer of connective tissue known as the meninges.

• The spinal cord runs down the center of the protective spinal column extending from the neck to the lower back. Spinal cord nerves transmit information from body organs and external stimuli to the brain and send information from the brain to other areas of the body.

Identify the relationship between structure and function of an organism and a cell:
tangare [24]

In multicellular organisms, the shape of the cell helps determine its function. For example, red blood cells are donut-shaped to easily exchange oxygen and freely pass through narrow blood vessels while nerve cells are long so when connected to other nerve cells they can span long distances in the organism

What would life be like without plate tectonics
emmasim [6.3K]
 It really is impossible to predict such a matter. I mean, think about it, its nearly impossible to think about how earth would be impacted if the heat from the interior of the planet that powers plate tectonics were to suddenly cease to exsist, or if that heat never exsisted in the first place, because that is how planets are formed.
 One thing is certain however, life wouldn't be the same without plate tectonics; in one case, the constont transgression/regression, sue in large part of tectonic forces acts as a evolutionary pump forcing life to evolve. EXAMPLE:  the evolution of plants from marine to terrestrial settings. Without plate tectonics, life would certainly be dramatically different.

If a species has 35 percent adenine in its dna, what is the percentage of the other three bases?
Basile [38]

Answer:

The percentage of other bases are: Thymine = 35%, guanine = 15% and cytosine = 15%.

Explanation:

There are four bases in DNA molecules, the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine. The quantity of adenine and thymine are always equal, so also, the quantity of guanine and cytosine are always equal. Based on the information given in the question, Adenine = 35%, this implies that thymine too is 35%. The two bases added together give 70% , leaving only 30% for guanine and cytosine. Cytosine and guanine will share this equally and so each one of them will have 15%.

I would create a monster that has really long legs and is really big and so it would make people stay away from it, because they know it is going to hurt them if they go by him.
