Lipids and proteins.

Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

Proteins are biological macromolecule and mostly composed of enzymes. Proteins play a role in the physical make-up of a cell or acts as a cytoskeleton –maintains cell shape and figure. These proteins plays different roles and works with nucleic acids and other macromolecules in the cells including cell cycle, cell adhesion, immune response and cell indicators.

Pls ! Help! How does the length of interphase compare to the length of cell division?

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Usually, cells will take between 5 and 6 hours to complete S phase. G2 is shorter, lasting only 3 to 4 hours in most cells. In sum, then, interphase generally takes between 18 and 20 hours. Mitosis, during which the cell makes preparations for and completes cell division only takes about 2 hours.

The number of cells in an average-sized adult human is on the order of 10^14 cells. Use this information, and the estimate that

KengaRu [80]

IF:
Number of cells: $C = 10^{14}$
DNA lenght: $D = 2m = 12.42 * 10^{-4} mi$
Distance from Earth to Sun: $ES=93000000 mi = 9.3* 10^{7}mi$

Then:
a) Over how many miles would the total DNA from the average human stretch?
The answer is product of multiplication of the number of cells (C) and the DNA length (D):
Total DNA: $T = C*D$
⇒ $T = 10^{14}*12.42* 10^{-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{14-4} mi$
⇒ $T = 12.42* 10^{10} mi$
The total DNA from the average human will stretch $12.42* 10^{10} mi$

b) How many times would the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back?
The answer is concluded from the ratio of the total DNA length (T) and the twice (because of stretch to the Sun and back, thus, two directions) of distance from Earth to the Sun (ES) and :
Ratio: $R= \frac{T}{2*ES}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}mi }{2*(9.3* 10^{7}mi)}$
⇒ $R = \frac{12.42* 10^{10}}{18.6*10^{7}}$
⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{10-7}$
 ⇒ $R = 0.6677* 10^{3}$
 ⇒ [tex]R = 667.7
Thus, 667,7 times will the total DNA from the average human stretch from Earth to the Sun and back.

Why does blood pressure in both arms differ

Alika [10]

Explanation:

Generally, a small difference in blood pressure readings between arms isn't a health concern. However, a difference of more than 10 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) for either your top number (systolic pressure) or bottom number (diastolic) may be a sign of blocked arteries in the arms, diabetes or other health problem

.A significant difference in the pressure recorded in the right and left arms can signal circulatory problems that may lead to stroke, peripheral artery disease, or other cardiovascular problems.
