A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
Answer:
Chloroplasts are the ’solar energy plants’ of a cell – they convert light energy into chemical energy
This chemical energy may be either ATP (light dependent) or organic compounds (light independent)
Only photosynthetic tissue possess chloroplasts (e.g. is present in leaves but not roots of plants)
Chloroplasts are thought to have once been independent prokaryotes that were internalised by eukaryotes via endosymbiosis
They have a double membrane structure (due to vesicular coating as part of the endocytotic process)
They have their own DNA (circular and naked) and ribosomes (70S)
Their metabolic processes are susceptible to certain antibiotics
The structure of the chloroplast is adapted to the function it performs:
Thylakoids – flattened discs have a small internal volume to maximise hydrogen gradient upon proton accumulation
Grana – thylakoids are arranged into stacks to increase SA:Vol ratio of the thylakoid membrane
Photosystems – pigments organised into photosystems in thylakoid membrane to maximise light absorption
Stroma – central cavity that contains appropriate enzymes and a suitable pH for the Calvin cycle to occur
Lamellae – connects and separates thylakoid stacks (grana), maximising photosynthetic efficiency

Answer:
The correct answer is option B. "It disrupts a larger area and produces less oil than drilling".
Explanation:
Oil extraction from tar sands is an inefficient way of extracting oil from a mixture of oil, sand, clay and water. The oil extraction from tar sands requires a considerable amount of energy and water and generates more pollution than oil drilling. Another downside of this process is that it disrupts a larger area and produces less oil than drilling. It is estimates that to produce one barrel of oil, 2 tons of oil sand should be processed.
Answer: A major difference between peptide and steroid hormones is the fact that peptide hormones will bind to receptors on the cells they are effecting, and induce a cascading effect. Steroid hormones on the other hand, will travel to the nucleus and have major effects.
