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.

When you do rigorous exercise, the cells of the muscles require more oxygen. Which condition ensures this requirement is met?

Nady [450]

The correct answer is aerobic conditions.

When you do rigorous exercise, the cells of the muscles require more oxygen and this requirement is met through aerobic conditions.

The body has its own oxygen energy system that manages the presence of the oxygen during movement.

How the DNA is different from the cDNA?

Alexandra [31]

Answer:

gDNA = "genomic DNA" and cDNA = "complementary DNA." cDNA is classically associated with being reverse transcribed either from all extracted RNA from a tissue or cell (total RNA) including (in eukaryotes) pre-mRNA, ribosomal RNA, tRNA, snoRNA, miRNA and mRNA, etc.) while cDNA obtained only from reverse transcription of the mRNA (expressed eukaryotic cytosolic mRNA) fraction (e.g., by poly[dT]n and random priming) is complementary DNA (cDNA) made from what is called the "transcriptome." Eukaryotes have introns and exons in the gDNA, while prokaryotes do not. So eukaryotic cDNA reverse transcribed from mRNA lacks introns. Prokaryotic-derived cDNA is always complementary to prokaryotic RNA and gDNA (so is always necessary to have a good DNase treatment prior to gene expression analysis by e.g., qPCR for prokaryotic transcriptome work)...

Two people are exercising at a gym. Person X notices a burning sensation in several muscles, while person Y does not feel any di

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

Person X is feeling a burning sensation in several muscles because of the accumulation of lactic acid due to inadequate oxygen in their system. When oxygen becomes inadequate during exercises, anaerobic respiration takes place to augment the oxygen shortage and this leads to the production of lactic acid which accumulates up in the muscles and gives a burning sensation.

$C_6H_1_2O_6 --> 2C_3H_6O_3$

Person Y does not feel any burning sensation in their muscles because oxygen is adequate in their system and they do not need to respire anaerobically. Person X exercise regime must have been more rigorous than that of person Y.
