After suffering a severe brain injury in a dirt-bike accident that permanently damaged much of his right motor cortex, 9-year-ol

d amir was partially paralyzed on the left side of his body. amazingly, after several months of intensive physical therapy, he partially regained the use of his left leg and left arm. this example best illustrates the principle of:

Answer: principle of neuroplasticity.

In the result of the brain damage, amir stopped moving the left side of his body and after rehabilitation <span>he partially regained its functions. Why?  because of</span> neuroplasticity. The brain, especially in children, has the ability of being plastic, meaning that the brain activity associated with a given function, can be transferred to a different location. This process is achievable through rehabilitation.

Describe, and account for the different levels of protein structure. How can proteins serve functions that are so diverse?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

there are four types of protein structure;

  • primary
  • secondary
  • tertiary
  • quatenary

Explanation:

A protein is a very large biological molecule composed of a chain of smaller molecules called amino acids. Thousands of different proteins are present in a cell, the synthesis of each type of protein being directed by a different gene.

Determining the process by which proteins fold into particular shapes, characteristic of their amino acid sequence, is commonly called "the protein folding problem", an area of study at the forefront of computational biology. One approach to studying the protein folding process is the application of statistical mechanics techniques and molecular dynamics simulations to the study of protein folding. Protein folding enables them to perform different diverse functions.

Protein have a three-dimensional structure that enables them to perform diverse functions like transsport,structural support as building blocks and metabolic regulators as enzymes and hormones.

I NEED HELP The measure of how resistant a solid is to shape change when a force is applied.
enyata [817]

<em>Hardness is a measure of how resistant solid matter is to various kinds of permanent shape change when a force is applied</em> <em>Macroscopic hardness is generally characterized by</em> <em>strong intermolecular bonds</em>, <em>but the behavior of solid materials under force is complex; therefore,</em> <em>there are different measurements of hardness</em>: <em>scratch hardness, indentation hardness, and rebound hardness. Hardness is dependent on ductility, elastic stiffness, plasticity, strain, strength, toughness, viscoelasticity, and viscosity. Common examples of hard matter are ceramics, concrete, certain metals, and super hard materials, which can be contrasted with soft matter.</em>

In the oldest fossils found in Bitter Springs (Cyanobacteria), why can we only find the remains of single celled organisms
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Due to presence at early days of the planet.

Explanation:

We only find the remains of single celled organisms in the oldest fossils because the single celled organisms are the organisms that were present in the early days of this planet. These single celled microbes were present about 3.7 billion years ago while on the other hand, the oldest rocks are only a little older i. e. 3.8 billion years so these single celled organisms are considered as oldest fossils on this planet.
