Answer:

1. Medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligaments.      

2. Chondromalacia patellae

Explanation:

The knee is a ginglymus that connects the thigh to the leg. It is the largest joint in the human body, that plays a vital role in the horizantal and the vertical movement of the body.

There are <u>four ligaments</u> of knee joint, that joins the femur to the tibia and also provides stability by limiting movement. They are: <u>medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligaments.</u>

Chondromalacia patellae is a medical condition that includes inflammation of the cartilage on the posterior aspect of the patella, which leads to softening of the cartilage.

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

C but see below.

Explanation:

e. The paper clip will likely fall off because it wasn't attached to the nail long enough to be magnetized.

The same answer would apply to the nail. It likely was not held onto the magnet long enough to pick up a magnetic force that would be strong enough to overcome the gravitational force pulling on the clip.

Of the four answers you have given us, I would agree with C.  But as I've argued above, the real reason is likely there.

(Marine science) The Atlantic puffin feeds on several species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock
mariarad [96]

If another predator, that is more efficient hunter, enters the territory of the puffins, the puffins will find themselves in a very tough situation. They will either have to adapt very quickly, or die out.

The evolutionary pressure will be there fro the puffins to push them in a direction to adapt and be netter hunters, thus fight for their existence. That would mean that the puffin's beak, but also their speed and efficiency will have to improve in order to compete or even out-compete the new predator.

If the puffins do not manage to adapt relatively quickly, and a food shortage occurs, than they will die out, as they will lose the fight for food constantly.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of long femur lengths (crickets)?​
MrRa [10]

Answer and Explanation:

In crickets, femur length represents a highly important trait associated with jumping performance - an essential behavior for their survival and reproduction.

According to research, these are the possible advantages and disadvantages in regard to long femur length:

Advantages

  • Longer legs [may] provide higher power for the muscles in order to jump.
  • Long-legged crickets generate lower reaction forces while performing a jump, which enables them to lose less energy in comparison with crickets with shorter femur length.

Disadvantages

  • Longer femurs may increase the total take-off time of a cricken prior to a jump.
  • In some cases, longer femurs force insects to develop head or body structures to enable them to 'fit' the legs while they prepare to jump.
  • Increased energy loss while jumping from an elevated leaf.

Does anyone know how to answer these questions? PLEASE I NEED HELP ASAP. This is for biology.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Answer No 3: Recent studies and researches have shown that the muscle cells do not actually wear and tear during heavy exercises. What happens is that micro tears are formed in the muscle fibers as a result of heavy exercise. These micro tears  cause the muscle cells to rebuild themselves.

Answer No 4: One of the biggest reasons that the insertions done by CRISPR-Cas9 insertion would not pass to future generations is because the specialized cells are being modified in this system. As the specialized cells do not have the tendency to for all cells of the body hence, the insertion made by CRISPR-Cas9 will most likely not be transferred to the future generation.
