Answer:

The barrier functions to regulate the chemical composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding the brain cells.

Explanation:

Blood-brain barrier

It is a very selective semipermeable membrane , hence allow some specific substance to pass via it . This barrier separates the  extracellular fluid in the central nervous system  and the circulating blood from the brain .

<u>The barrier is composed of the endothelial cells .</u>

Passive diffusion is shown in this system , and allows molecules like the water , glucose , amino acid to pass .

It regulates the chemical composition of the fluid of brain cell .

Use your knowledge of inheritance (the passing of traits from parents to offspring) to explain why
yarga [219]

Answer:

Fraternal twins can be different genders because they are two completely different eggs getting fertilized; but even two same gender fraternal twins do not look completely alike. Whereas for identical twins since one egg is splitting into two, the two cells have the same exact DNA make up and chromosomes.

I also believe the technical part of it is to do with genetics, like ressesive and dominant genes, because they can be the same gender, ex. both girls and one has blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde hair, the other twin has brown eyes, black hair and tan skin. The parents could be part of the genes but there is also grandparents maybe the mom's mom has blonde hair and blue eyes, with fair skin. But the dad he has brown eyes, black hair and tan skin. The moms genes were recessive, but the grandma's genes were dominant.

I tried to explain it as best as I could I hope it helps!

The expression 40x2 – 65x + 50 represents the sum of the interior angles of a regular pentagon in degrees. If the interior angle
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

2(8x^2-13x+10)

Explanation:

There are 5 angle s in a pentagon and we are assuming are pentagon is a regular one so the angles are all congruent.

Let's let A represent the measurement of one of the those angles in our pentagon.

The sum of our angles in our pentagon would then be A+A+A+A+A or 5A.

But we are also given that this equals 40x^2-65x+50.

So that means 5A=40x^2-65x+50.

If we divide both sides by 5 we can find what one of our angles is in terms of x.  So let's do that A=8x^2-13x+10.

So we want to know the sum of two our angles, we want to know what is A+A or 2A.  2A=2(8x^2-13x+10).  To obtain that I just multiplied both sides of A=8x^2-13x+10 by 2.
