If you put a lump of solid carbon dioxide (dry ice) in a paper cup or
on a paper plate on the kitchen counter, it gets smaller and smaller
and finally it just disappears, but you never see a puddle around it
like you would with regular ice!

Carbon dioxide has no liquid phase when the pressure on it is less than
about 5 times normal atmospheric pressure.  So in the kind of pressure
that we like to live in, dry ice goes straight to gas when it melts.  That kind
of behavior is called "sublimation", and we say that the dry ice "sublimes".

Every substance has some pressure limit like that.  For water, it's 0.006 of
normal atmospheric pressure.  At any pressure lower than that, liquid water
can't exist, and an ice cube sublimes ... it melts directly into water vapor
without a puddle.

Explanation:

Bones are very hard whitish organs that unite with others through the joints or joints make up the Skeleton. It is a specialized form of connective tissue whose main feature is the mineralization (calcium) of its bone matrix (collagen and proteoglycan fibers). There are several types of bones, of which flat bones are described below.

Flat bones are thin bones and consist of two parallel blades of compact bone tissue, with a layer of cancellous bone between them. Flat bones provide considerable protection and generate large areas for muscle insertion. These are the bones most likely due to muscle fixation in the legs.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d. "The phospholipids in this procedure had a shorter average fatty acid tail length than in the original experiment".

Explanation:

One factor that affects the speed at which fluorescent proteins achieve an even distribution is the length of the average fatty acid tails. Cell hybrids are produced by the fusion of two cells, which means that the genomic content of each cell must surpass the cell membrane barrier. The shorter the average fatty acid tails of the phospholipids in the cell membrane are, the faster the cell fusion will occur and the faster the fluorescent proteins will achieve an even distribution.
