Answer:

We fear flying in a plane, nuclear power plants or being struck by lightning more because our risk perception isn't rational. We assess risks using a mixture of cognitive skills (weighing the evidence, using reasoning and logic to reach conclusions) and emotional appraisals. In this case, we believe that overheating or lack of exercise is something we can control. We believe we can feel the process taking place and we can react in time. We fear all the situations that we cannot control.

What regulates the cell cycle of a specific type of cell?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Both internal and external factors are capable of regulating the cell cycle of a specific type of cell (Option a).

<h3>What is the cell cycle?</h3>

The cell cycle refers to the period of life of a cell from which it is generated until its division (cytokinesis).

The cell cycle of a cell is regulated by internal factors such as cyclins and kinases that phosphorylate specific proteins as well as external factors that trigger the cell division (e.g. temperature conditions).

In conclusion, both internal and external factors are capable of regulating the cell cycle of a specific type of cell (Option a).

Determine the new concentration, in mg/mL, of the starch solution you diluted in the Erlenmeyer flask. Recall from the Procedure
Semmy [17]

Answer:

0.05 mg/mL  ( B )

Explanation:

Given data:

20 mg/ml starch

2% solution = 2g of solute is in 100g of solvent

<u>Determine the new concentration in mg/ml </u>

Dilution equation = C1V1 = C2V2

new concentration ; applying the dilution factor

dilution factor = 1 : 400 ; ( 2 /400 )g = 0.005 g of solute is present in every  100 mL

∴ new concentration = 0.00005 g / 1 mL * ( 1000 mg / 1g ) = 0.05 mg/mL
