The computer chips come from semi conductive minerals usually germanium, silicon, and finding those in nature is not always easy but, they are minerals they are properly manufactured, firstly they are melted down and then are pulled into a giant single crystal that is perfectly shaped to fit the needs of the computer chip manufacturer, then they are cleaned and cut within a few thousandths of a inch usually thinner than a piece of paper and smaller than a rice grain, then etched with UV resin, washes, and copper to make microscopic pathways for transistors and so forth, then after that they are put into they're cases and have the very small like thinner than a hair small gold electrical wires attached to each point of the chip.So from a outside perspective yes they are still minerals but refined and manufactured to fit a purpose entirely different than the material itself is.

What is the function of the structure identified by the red arrow?
Ket [755]

The structure shown by the red arrow is cell membrane.  

In biology, cell membrane refers to the thin layer, which develops the external boundary of a living cell. It has three primary functions, which are as follows:  

1. It comprises channels and receptors, which permits particular molecules like nutrients, ions, metabolic components, and wastes to pass between the cell and the outside environment.  

2. It prevents toxic components from entering the cell.  

3. They distinguish essential but incompatible metabolic procedures conducted within the cell.

If an object turns but maintains the same speed,has its acceleration changed?explain
Andreas93 [3]
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity
Since velocity is a vector, it has both speed and direction.
So, if the object is travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, then it will not be accelerating. Both Magnitude and direction are constant.
However, if the object is travelling in a circle at a constant speed, then it'll be accelerating. An Object going in a circle is constantly changing it's direction, which means velocity is changing, so there is an acceleration caused by a net force.
Hope this Helps :)

FIRST TO ANSWER IN DIFFERENT SENTENCES GETS BRAINLIEST
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

1.An example of Batesian mimicry is when the yummy viceroy butterfly mimics the orange and black coloration of the distasteful monarch butterfly. ... Wasmannian mimicry occurs when the mimic resembles it's host (the model) in order to live within the same nest or structure. For example, several beetles closely resemble ants

2.Orange and black Monarchs (Danaus plexippus) are among the most familiar and easily recognizable butterflies found in the vivarium. Bright colors and distinctive wing patterns can be an example of aposematism, also known as a warning coloration.

Gene mapping for beak color and feather length in biology what is this
just olya [345]
I am not entirely sure about this. So maybe my response can help you find the answer a little better if my answer is not entirely right?

These last three questions are referring to everything you just worked on. So all you would have to do is refer back to your previous answers. Recall that the titles of the "part 1, 2, and 3" are titled "crossing beak color and tail-feather length", "crossing beak color and feather color", and "mapping tail-feather length and feather color".

1.List the distances between each pair of genes:
beak color and tail-feather length: 20 MU
beak color and feather color: 16 MU
tail-feather length and feather color: 4 MU

2.Which two alleles are the farthest apart?
(the one that is 20 MU apart) Y and L

3.Which two alleles are the closest together?
(the ones that are 4 MU apart) L and B
