Ears
¿Qué es el oído y qué hace?
El oído consta de tres partes diferentes, que funcionan conjuntamente para captar sonidos y transmitírselos al cerebro: el oído externo, el oído medio y el oído interno.
El oído externo
El oído externo está formado por el pabellón auditivo (también conocido como "pabellón auricular" o "pabellón de la oreja") y el conducto auditivo. Los pabellones auditivos son las partes visibles que tenemos a ambos lados de la cabeza y están compuestos por cartílago duro cubierto de piel. La principal función del pabellón auditivo consiste en captar sonidos y conducirlos hacia el conducto auditivo, que conecta con el oído medio. Las glándulas de la piel que recubren el interior del conducto auditivo fabrican cera o cerumen, que protege este conducto, eliminado la suciedad y ayudando a prevenir posibles infecciones.
El oído medio
El oído medio es una cavidad llena de aire que transforma las ondas sonoras en vibraciones y las transmite al oído interno. El oído medio está separado del externo por el tímpano (o membrana timpánica), una fina lámina de tejido que va de lado a lado del conducto auditivo y que está fuertemente tensada sobre él. Los sonidos golpean el tímpano, haciendo que se mueva.
Explanation:
Answer:
Rainforests have an abundance of plants and animals for the following reasons: Climate: because rainforests are located in tropical regions, they receive a lot of sunlight. ... Since there is a lot of sunlight, there is a lot of energy in the rainforest. This energy is stored in plant vegetation, which is eaten by animals.
Explanation:
Your answer would be Why are Sea Lampreys a problem in the Great Lakes?
In the text, it explains the answer for this question. For the other three questions, it's asking for a factor of the paragraph rather than the whole thing. The whole paragraph explains the answers for all of the questions, so it's best to ask why are they causing problems.
Answer:
Genes are portions of DNA that contains information to encode proteins
Alleles are different forms of one gene
Chromosomes are closed circular DNA molecules that contain the genetic material of an organism
Explanation:
Genes can be defined as regions of DNA which are transcribed to produce messenger RNAs (mRNAs) by a process known as transcription. Subsequently, these mRNAs are translated into proteins. In diploid organisms, each gene contains two different forms called alleles. A chromosome is a long DNA molecule that contains part or even the entire genetic material of an organism. In diploid organisms, one chromosome contains one allele (inherited from one parent), while its homologous chromosome pair contains another allele of the same gene (inherited from the other parent).
Answer: In Photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water is yielded to glucose and oxygen. In respiration, glucose and oxygen is yielded to carbon dioxide and water. C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2(oxygen) → CO2(Carbon Dioxide) + H2O(water) + ATP energy. The products of one process are the reactants of the other. Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
