What are ways we measure time

Biology
1 answer:
NemiM [27]3 years ago
3 0

To measure time, we use what are called <u>customary units of measurement.</u> For example, to measure time, we use seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years, and so on.

It's important to understand that the units of time are all related to each other.

For example, 60 seconds = 1 minute, 60 minutes = 1 hour, 24 hours = 1 day, 7 days = 1 week, 52 weeks = 1 year, and 12 months = 1 year. These equivalencies are called conversion factors because they're used to convert from one unit of measurement to another.

Lina20 [59]
Penetration of the egg' zona pellucida by the sperm cell is a process driven by hydrolytic enzymes.  
<span>
The critical step in fertilization is binding between sperm receptors and glycoproteins on the zona pellucida. This is the trigger for the acrosome reaction which includes an influx of CA and a rise in pH and cAMP levels within the sperm head. As a result, the plasma membrane of the sperm fuses with the outer acrosomal membrane and the exocytosis of the acrosomal<span> vesicle occurs. Components of the acrosome, like hydrolytic enzymes, are released and they degrade the <span>zona pellucida allowing</span> the sperm to move </span>inside.</span>
