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

Proteins on the surface of a human cell and on a bird influenza virus are represented in the diagram below. Describe a change in
vekshin1

Answer:

Viral proteins can modify the most superficial portion in such a way that it is complementary to the receptor of the human cell.

Generally this happens due to a genetic recombination between an avian virus and a human virus within the respiratory epithelium of the pig: this process underlies the emergence of new, more virulent strains of the influenza virus and underlies the emergence of influenza pandemics

Nicotinic receptors a. are found at neuroeffector junctions of the parasympathetic nervous system. b. respond to epinephrine. c.
Verizon [17]

Answer:

Option C, open chemically gated sodium ion channels.

Explanation:

The nicotinic receptors are present on the muscle cell membrane. These receptors belong to the class of cholinergic receptor which binds to the acetylcholine and opens the gated channel to allow transfusion of cation through it. These actions of the receptors are stimulated by the neurotransmitter. Nicotinic receptors are very fast at acting and hence are more prevalent at the neuromuscular junction.

Hence, option  C is correct

Explain five important things that can be determined by studying fossils.
Naddik [55]
Studying fossils allowed researchers to learn about organisms that lived long ago. The fossils provide as evolutionary evidence that shows how organisms in our present time have evolved over time and which common ancestors they are tied to. Fossils also provide information about climate change depending on the region and location they are found in. Fossils also date back to millenias ago, so fossils dated very far back in the past can help researchers infer that life had existed even farther than what they might have discovered. And finally, by studying fossils, you can determine how the organism may have died.
