kotegsom [21]

Graphite is well known to be pencil lead - You might actually learn this in Chemistry/Physical Science like we did!

Charcoal & coal you cannot use - you could but it'd be difficult and irritating.

Fullerene is the third form of carbon. It can be used for electronics AND medicine. Amazing right??

What is the order of the breathing process
NemiM [27]
Step 1-
Your diaphragm moves down as it contracts. Your ribs move outward. These movements make the space inside the chest larger.
Step 2-

Air rushes in through the nose and mouth and passes through the throat. Air then moves past the epiglottis which is open into the trachea.

Step 3

Air moves into your bronchi. The bronchi branch out and end in tiny air sacs, called alveoli.

Step 4

<span>Air moves into your alveoli. Oxygen moves through the walls of alveoli and capillaries, entering the blood.</span>

Step 5

Carbon dioxide moves from the blood through the walls of capillaries and alveoli in order to be expelled by the lungs.

Step 6

Your diaphragm moves up as it relaxes. Your ribs move inward. These movements make the space inside the chest smaller.

Step 7

<span>Your lungs are squeezed and air is pushed out of the alveoli. The air travels back through your bronchi, trachea, and nose and mouth.</span>

Ivahew [28]

The correct answer is A. Experimental group

Explanation:

In experiments, the experimental group refers to the group of subjects that receives special treatment or in which the scientist or researcher intervenes. This is the opposite of a control group that does not receive treatment and therefore, it is used as a reference to measure the effect of the treatment.

This implies, in the experiment presented Group A is the control group as they do not have special treatment because they sleep normally and Group B is the experimental group as the researcher modifies their sleep time and reduces it two hours which means in this group there is a treatment or intervention.

When molecules move through channels and pumps, they usually: contact the tails of the phosholipids contact amino-acids on the i
alexira [117]
The correct answer is B.
Channels and pumps are transmembrane proteins that create hydrophilic tunnels across the membrane. This allows molecules to be diffused through them. The channels and pumps are highly selective and only allow the diffusion of specific molecules. The channel's structure blocks the contact of the molecule with the head and tail of the phospholipids that form the membrane. As we said, the channels and pumps are proteins, so they are formed by amino acids. Therefore, the molecules passing through channels and pumps, only come in contact with the amino acids.
