2- Transcription: mRNA

3-Translation: proteins

4- Mitosis: two identical diploid somatic cells

5- Meiosis: four different haploid gamete cells

Explanation:

1- DNA replication: through the process of semiconservative DNA replication two identical DNA strands are created

2- Transcription: the process by which DNA becomes mRNA

3-Translation: the process by which mRNA becomes proteins

4- Mitosis: a parent cell will split into two identical diploid somatic cells, this process is used to replace old cells

5- Meiosis: a parent cell will split into four different haploid gamete cells, this process is used to create ovary/testes cells

There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami
KiRa [710]

Answer:

<u> Essential</u> nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to <u>micronutrients</u> which you consume in small quantities

<u>Dehydration</u> can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

<u>Proteins</u> are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. <u>Amino acids</u> are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body.  They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.  

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer;

-PET scan

A PET scan uses radioactive markers in the blood to monitor blood flow and metabolic activity via x-ray

Explanation;

-A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how the tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

-A PET scan is used to diagnose certain health conditions, to plan treatment, to find out how an existing condition is developing, and to see how effective a treatment is.

-In a PET scan, a machine detects radiation that is emitted by a radiotracer. A radiotracer consists of radioactive material that is tagged to a natural chemical, such as glucose.
