Answer:

some scientists which include Mendeleev and Neuton did published their papers and findings in Latin. but when Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus started to devise a system of classifying organisms, he also gave different phyla and species Latin names, and this was because Latin was such a universal or acceptable form of scholar language in Europe.

In earlier days, Latin was considered the language of the scholars. That was the reason Latin was chosen for binomial nomenclature. As scholars of all languages learned Latin, just hearing the name would give the hearer an idea of what the organism is even if (s)he had not seen it in person.

Which membranes line the passageways that open to the exterior of the body, including those of the respiratory, digestive, repro

jenyasd209 [6]

Mucous membranes line the passageways that open to the exterior of the body, including those of the respiratory, digestive, reproductive, and urinary systems in the body.

A mucous membrane or mucosa is a membrane that lines various cavities in the body of an organism and covers the surface of internal organs. It consists of one or more layers of epithelial cells overlying a layer of loose connective tissue.

It is mostly of endodermal origin and is continuous with the skin at body openings such as the eyes, eyelids, ears, inside the nose, inside the mouth, lips, the genital areas, the urethral opening and the anus. Some mucous membranes secrete mucus, a thick protective fluid. The function of the membrane is to stop pathogens and dirt from entering the body and to prevent bodily tissues from becoming dehydrated.

One of its functions is to keep the tissue moist (for example in the respiratory tract, including the mouth and nose). It also plays a role in absorbing and transforming nutrients.

Mucous membranes also protect the body from itself. For instance, mucosa in the stomach protects it from stomach acid and mucosa lining the bladder protects the underlying tissue from urine. In the uterus, the mucous membrane is called the endometrium, and it swells each month and is then eliminated during menstruation.

True
There are many parts to the menstrual cycle but the longest part of it is getting the egg to get fertilized. After beginning to fertilize there will be a a “window” where the egg will be the most fertilized. This phase is called the ovulation phase. If the egg isn’t fertilized, the body gets ready to dispose of the egg and now the egg is disposed through what is known has the period

DNA translation is the term used to describe the process of protein synthesis by ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum. ... tRNAs carry particular amino acids, which are linked together by the ribosome.
