Solution:

The type of membrane that protects internal organs from friction is known as serous membrane.

It is the transparent liquid that is found in the body cavities. When looking for a direct location, it is mostly found in the heart, lung, and abdominal cavity. Serous fluid acts as a lubricant for organs. By lying within the membrane near the organ, it helps the organ move easily for functioning and reduces stress and friction the organ may have against other organs. The lungs, for example, constantly move to provide air for the body. This fluid allows for this motion and prevents the wear and tear that might occur without serous fluid.

Although serous fluid is important for lubrication, it also can be very harmful to the body. Some diseases cause the serous glands to produce too much serous fluid. As a result is that the membranes that hold the serous fluids are not allowing the organ to move or function properly. This could not only be serious for our lungs but also for our heart that needs to move to supply blood to the body.

This is the required answer.

How do free energy machines work?

suter [353]

The machine is plugged into an electrical source, which gets the motor's wheel spinning. The machine is then unplugged and the wheel keeps spinning under its own inertia. Then electrical energy is extracted from the spinning wheel

Why is oxygen important for all body cells?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Our body cells require oxygen to release energy.

Explanation:

The oxygen that we take in during respiration is used to break down the food we eat to release energy from it. When we breathe in oxygen, it diffuses into blood from the lung, where it is transported by red blood cells to the entire body to be used to produce energy.

What are the functions of the three major forms of RNA (ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, and transfer RNA)?

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.
