A fixed joint is like the sutures of the skull. The joints hardly move.
The hinge joint is those that have 90 degrees freedom of movement such as the elbow joint.
Gliding joint occurs where one bone glides over the other's flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. Examples are those of the ankles.
The ball-and-socket joint allows for 180-degree freedom of movement. An example is the joint at the hip bone.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The answer is Vitamin E or α-tocopherol.

Explanation:

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin is first absorbed in the small intestine and is then stored at the liver. It is an antioxidant which protects cells from free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS). It can also prevent bad cholesterol from depositing in the blood vessels.

Vitamin E can be naturally found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. As a dietary supplement, it takes the form of α-tocopherol. The RDA depends on the age of the person, as it may range from 4 mg to 15 mg per day.

Vitamin E deficiency is so rare that it will only occur if the person has a fat malabsorption illness like Crohn's disease, abetalipoproteinemia, etc. Symptoms of deficiency include muscle weakness, retinal degradation, peripheral neuropathy, and an immunocompromised state.

Can someone help with the labels for this ?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Refer to the attached image for correct labeling.

Explanation:

The diagram is of a plant cell and its organelles.
The nucleus houses the genetic material and controls all life processes.
A plant cell contains one large vacuole in the center that stores water and nutrients.
Chloroplast is the site for photosynthesis. It captures light and utilizes it and carbondioxide to produce glucose.
Mitochondria are called the power house of the cell. Through a process called cellular respiration, they break down the glucose produced in photosynthesis into energy compounds such as ATP as well as oxygen and water.
The endoplasmic reticulum is the site for protein sysnthesis. It contains two parts: the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) which contains ribosomes that synthesize proteins and the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) which packages the proteins into transport vesicles.
The nucleus contains the nucleolus that is the site for ribosome assembly.
The cell membrane is a semi-permeable membrane that covers the cell and controls cellular transport.
The cell wall is a hard, outer covering that protects the cell and maintains its structure and shape.
