Explain the differences in appearance among normal spiral, barred spiral, elliptical, and irregular galaxies

Biology
1 answer:
Reptile [31]3 years ago
5 0
<span>Spiral galaxies are generally classified as galaxies that are circular in nature, with a bright nucleus that is enclosed by a thin outer disc. Normal spiral galaxies and barred spiral galaxies differ in appearance because normal spirals have 'arms' that emanate from the nucleus (which looks like a sphere that has curved arms coming out of the nucleus center), while barred spirals have bars (bright line features) that go straight through the nucleus, with arms that unwind from the ends of the bar. Elliptical galaxies look like very bright stars - they are shaped like elongated spheres, emanate a lot of light (but the brightness is concentrated in the center and dissipates the further out from the center you go), and vary in size. Irregular galaxies are classified as such because they don't fit into either the spiral or elliptical galaxy groups. They have a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and have no inherent regular or symmetrical structure.</span>

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

it is because the blood cells will have too much water in them and they will burst.

there will be less salt inside the cells so all the water will enter the cells. if there is also salt present outside of the cell then the water and the electrolites(salt) will equalize between the inside and the outside of the cell.

What is the correct order of a signal being transmitted across a neuromuscular junction?
mezya [45]
For the purposes of this discussion, a neuromuscular junction is a synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle. 
The correct order of a signal being transmitted across a neuromuscular junction is as follows:1. The brain must first send the signal to the muscle that it must move.2. The muscle must then be stimulated by a motor neuron. In other words, the stimulatory impulse must travel from the motor neuron  to the muscle via the synapse. 
<span>If the command or signal is correctly sent and received via the neuromuscular junction, the muscle will move otherwise the muscle will not move as the brain signal indicated. </span>
