  • 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.

Why is it important to understand levels of organization in living systems in terms of both structure and function of each level
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The living world can be organized into different levels.

Levels of organization are structures in nature, usually defined by part-whole relationships, with things at higher levels being composed of things at the next lower level. Typical levels of organization that one finds in the literature include the atomic, molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, group, population, community, ecosystem, landscape, and biosphere levels.

Explanation:

Yet, in spite of the ubiquity of the notion, levels of organization have received little explicit attention in biology or its philosophy. Usually they appear in the background as an implicit conceptual framework that is associated with vague intuitions. Attempts at providing general and broadly applicable definitions of levels of organization have not met wide acceptance. In recent years, several authors have put forward localized and minimalistic accounts of levels, and others have raised doubts about the usefulness of the notion as a whole.

Just helps a lot overall, especially if you are planning to go into a field related to biology.  Hope this helps! :)

Convection about the city
julsineya [31]

Convection- is the heat transfer due to the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids, including molten rock. Convection includes sub-mechanisms of advection, and diffusion.

Explanation:

Cities become warmer than their rural surroundings due to buildings, roads and other infrastructure replacing open land and vegetation. “Surfaces that were once permeable and moist,” writes the“become impermeable and dry.”

During the daylight hours, temperatures inside large cities range between 1.8 and 5.4 degrees F warmer than their surrounding areas. At night, city temperatures can be as much as 22 degrees F warmer.

This phenomenon was believed to be the result of concrete and other structures absorbing heat throughout the day and then gradually releasing it at night. But a new study published last week in the journal Nature offers a different explanation: Convection.

How air moves through a city during the day has a greater role in trapping heat, the study claims, than the disappearance of vegetation and the existence of urban structures.
