The reason the hypodermis acts as a shock absorber is that ________. it has no delicate nerve endings and can therefore absorb m

ore shock the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber the cells that make up the hypodermis secrete a protective mucus it is located just below the epidermis and protects the dermis from shock.

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber.

Explanation:

The hypodermis is the innermost layer of the skin close to the muscles also known as the subcutis layer.

The subcutis layer is the is made up of fat and collagen which both help the layer to act to conserve the body's heat and also act as a shock absorber which protects the inner organs.

Since the layer contains three types of cells mainly adipose cells, macrophages and fibroblasts where adipose help absorb the shock therefore, the selected option is the correct answer.

HELP PLEASE!!!!!One of the central themes in biology is how DNA, RNA, and proteins are related. Describe how genetic information
Anna007 [38]
 <span>DNA contains the code for all an organism's protein. Since many of the organism's structures, processes, and growth depend on protein the DNA is central to the well being of all organisms. In eukaryotes, the DNA is locked up in the nucleus. The area of the cell where proteins are made is in the cytosol (ribosomes). In order for the protein to be made the DNA has to produce a copy of the blueprint m-RNA. This messenger RNA will take the code to the ribosome. The process by which m-RNA is made is called transcription. A-U, C-G base pairing rules. Once on the ribosome another RNA comes into play t-RNA. This is called transfer RNA. Here it will take an amino acid and place it in the correct order to produce the desired protein. This is called translation. It begins with a start co don AUG. and ends with a stop codon. The protein will then go to the Golgi apparatus and be formed into its final shape.

Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because ________. Which choice(s) comple
postnew [5]

Considering the following;

I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.

II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.

III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.

IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function

Answer;

I and IV

Explanation;

Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.

Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.
