C imprinting

Attachment of newborn babies to mothers is a species typical behavior that has received a lot of attention. Newly hatched ducklings, which walk as soon as they hatch, follow their mother almost immediately. Similar attachment occur in many other species.

The process by which attachment develops is called imprinting. Baby ducklings follow the first large moving object they see after hatching, especially if it makes duck sounds. Normally this is the mother, but if ducklings hatch in an incubator, they will form an attachment to a person, a large, moving orange ball, or almost anything else that is the first large moving object they see.

True or false: Most muscles contain a combination of all three muscle types, slow oxidative, fast oxidative, and fast glycolytic

kkurt [141]

Thanks to what we know about muscles and the fibers they contain, we can confirm that the statement in the question is in fact true.

Muscle is a type of tissue which due to coordinated systems that make up their composition, have the ability to contract. This ability allows for greater efficiency. In humans, the muscle systems are classified into three kinds:

Cardiac muscle
Skeletal muscle
Smooth muscle

Despite the different classifications and functions of each muscle type, each of these muscles contains a combination of three types of muscle fibers, which are the fibers listed in the question:

Slow oxidative
Fast oxidative
Fast glycolytic.

Answer:

Explanation:

Who were the Romanovs?The Romanovs were high ranking aristocrats in Russia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,The Romanov was the second dynasty to rule Russia, and also the last ruling Russia from 1613 until the Russian Revolution of 1917

2. Who was Anna Anderson?An impostor who claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia of Russia

Who did she claim to be? Anna Anderson had claimed to be the missing be the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia(Anastasia Romanov)

What evidence supported this claim? the evidence that supported her claim was that she had the same hair and eye color,the same height, distinctive body markings, and a deformed foot just as the Romanov princess had.

3. What did scientists find in the burial site? The scientist found nine skeletons.

What did they not find?They did not find two of them which was believe to be that of Princess Anastasia and her brother Prince Alexei

4. What did the mitochondrial DNA testing show? DNA testing showed that it certainly was Nicholas, Alexandra and the three children, these was discovered through the bones found in the grave

What do scientists believe happened to Anastasia?Scientist believed that Princess Anastasia along with her brother Prince Alexei were cremated aright after they were being killed

5. Why do you think it took so long for this mystery to be solved? it took so long for this mystery to be solved because the technology available can not be compare to DNA technology because modern technology and advancement had made it more better and convenient .

What factors played a role? DNA technology played a role

suppopse you were going to deisgn a system for the rapid diffusion of oxygen across a phosphlipid bilayer. according to fick's l

Llana [10]

Answer:

According to Fick's law, the rate of diffusion of any substance across any barrier is directly proportional to the surface area of the membrane or any layer exposed. and the concentration of the diffusing substance available, but the rate is inversely proportional to the diffusion distance available.

Thus the rate at which oxygen will move across the phospholipid bilayer will depend on the concentration or amount per mole of the oxygen molecule hitting the phopholipid at a prticular time and how permeable the phospholipd layer is to oxygen molecules, but the rate of its movement across will be reduced as the distance between the phosphoslipid bilayer and the diffusing molecules increases.

Therefore, the concentration of oxygen should be maximised, the surface area of the phospholipid bilayer should also be maximized. the distances between the phopholipid and the vessel containing the diffusing oxygen molecules should be drastically reduced. With this Fick's law has been applied , and therefore maximum oxygen molecules can diffuse across.
