The correct answer is a lymph vessel that transports lymph to the lymph node.

The lymphatic system is the component of the vascular system and an essential immune system part, consisting of a network of lymphatic vessels, which transports a clear fluid known as lymph directionally towards the heart. Like the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is not a closed system.

One of the prime activities of the lymphatic system is to offer an addition return passage to the blood for the remaining three liters. The other main activity is that of defense in the immune system.

Beneficios y desventajas de la modificación genetica
finlep [7]
La manipulación genética representa todas aquellas técnicas que permiten modificar de forma directa los genes en el interior de las células de los organismos vivos. Estas modificaciones pueden ser a través de la inserción, la eliminación o la alteración de uno o más genes específicos. Todas las instrucciones que hacen que un organismo sea lo que es están codificadas en los genes, es decir que estos fragmentos de ADN son los que le indican a cada parte de las células y a cada célula en el cuerpo de un organismo multicelular o unicelular, qué debe hacer, cuándo y cómo. La manipulación genética es uno de los procesos científicos biotecnológicos más empleados hoy en día, ya que incluye todas las herramientas necesarias para modificar las características físicas de prácticamente cualquier ser vivo o, mejor dicho, de todo lo que tenga información genética en su interior (ADN o ARN).

Hoy en día la manipulación genética es uno de los temas más discutidos por la sociedad científica, pues existen herramientas biotecnológicas capaces de manipular de manera fácil y efectiva casi cualquier gen que se desee en un organismo Entre los organismos que se pueden “manipular genéticamente” se incluye al ser humano, y es allí donde surgen la mayoría de los debates, ya que a pesar de que la manipulación genética puede ayudar a curar un gran número de enfermedades hereditarias, también puede utilizarse para crear armas biológicas sumamente peligrosas.

Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition Ptolemy.
Svetlanka [38]
Ptolemy's model was Geocentric. This means that it put the earth at the center of the solar system, instead of the sun, with all celestial objects orbiting it. The first person to prove the validity of the heliocentric theory was Nicolaus Copernicus.

how does earth's rotation cause day and night A as earth rotates toward east, the sun appears to rise in the west and set in the
ioda
The Earth turns on its axis every day; it orbits the sun, just like all the other planets in our Solar System. You can cross out D and A, obviously. Which leaves us with answers B and C. Now, C says that the Earth turns clockwise, which is false; when viewed from space, they determined it turned counter-clockwise, which leaves us with B. Hope this helped

If a microscope has an ocular lens of 10x and a low power objective of 10x, what is the total magnification under low power?
Westkost [7]

The correct answer is: 100x.

The calculation of total magnification of the microscope includes multiplying the magnification of the lenses together, So, to calculate the total magnification take the power of the objective (10X) and multiply by the power of the eyepiece, ocular lens (10X).
