The fulcrum is the point in any mechanical device where the moment due to weights is zero.

(Weight 1 x distance 1) - (weight 2 x distance 2) = 0

(1.7 Kg x 1.5 m ) - (weight 2 x 1.2 m) = 0

weight 2 = (1.7 Kg x 1.5 m ) / 1.2 m

= 2.1 Kg

Describe the four structural roles of the skeletal system.<br> The Human SKELETAL SYSTEM
makkiz [27]

Answer:

1. Support

2. Protection

3. Movement

4. Supply & Storage

Explanation:

1. Support :  It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.  

2. Protection:  It protects our internal organs.  The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).

3. Movement:  It provides a framework for muscles to attach.  Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.

4. Supply & Storage:  The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.

How do cells behave in a multicellular protist?
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

2.They exhibit cell specialization.

Explanation:

A protist is an eukaryotic organism that can either be unicellular or multicellular. In the multicellular protist i.e. many cells, different types of cells are needed to bring about the organism's life processes. The different types of cells perform a specific different function in the organism.

The way that an organism makes it cells specialized to perform different functions is called Cell Specialization or differentiation. All multicellular organism, including a multicellular protist, contain many cells that have been specialized to perform different functions. Hence, the many cells of a multicellular protist will exhibit specialization in order to perform varying functions in the organism.
