Answer:

1. A clock with internal mechanical parts comprises a system because it is a combination of various parts that a heterogeneous in nature and function working together to achieve one end - indicating the time accurately.

Some mechanical clocks comprise of at least 10 parts namely:

Gear train: This component alone is a sub-system that comprises of at least 8 parts. These parts are broadly classified into wheels, pinions, and barrels.

Main Spring
Pallet
Escapement
Escapement Wheel
Barrell
Barrell Wheel
Balance Spring etc

2. A clock is a non-living system.

Living systems have certain characteristics. Some of them are:

Stimuli: Response to the environment
Growth and development: The are able to increase in size and dimensions
Homeostasis: this is the capability of self-regulation regardless of external conditions such as temperature and pressure. etc

3. A cannot support a living system. It can however help a human being (which is essentially a combination of various systems) to tell the time.

4. a system is a combination of heterogeneous parts that work in unison to form a whole complex entity that can perform one or more functions.

The process of respiration is essential in the oxygen/carbono dioxide carbon cycle. Respiration remoces From the atmosphere and

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Respiration is a process in which energy is released due to the breakdown of glucose molecules with the addition of oxygen forming carbondioxode, water and energy in the form of Adenine tri phosphate (ATP). In respiration process, carbondioxide is released in the atmosphere and oxygen is used for breakdown of food. This carbondioxide is used by the plants in the process of photosynthesis and oxygen is released in the atmosphere which is again used by animals for respiration.

Which one of the following is a requirement for a good primer? Select one: a. Guanine and Cytosine should make up less than half

Alex

Answer: B. Melting temperatures of primer should be between 55-80 degree Celsius.

Explanation:

Bacause the melting temperature controls the binding of the primers to your template DNA. At melting temperature 50% of the primer molecules are bound to their corresponding target sequence. If the difference in melting temperature between the two primers is too high, it might be difficult to find experimental conditions where both primers can bind to their target.

In the marine mollusk, Aplysia, serotonin binds to a G-protein-coupled receptor and activates a Gs subunit. The resulting activa

dem82 [27]

The serotonin binds to a G-protein -coupled receptor and activates a G-subunit . This results in activation of PKA and closing of the potassium channels. This will subsequently decrease the influx of potassium ions into the cell, and lead to depolarization of the cell. This changes the membrane potential of the cell.

Aplysia are sea slugs which fall under the category of mollusks. Serotonin is a hormone which is responsible for the transfer of electrical signals from the brain to different parts. In this particular mollusk, serotonin was studied to find that it is an essential neurotransmitter that is responsible for the maintenance of synaptic plasticity in the neurons. Synaptic plasticity is the feature which is essential for the communication of neurons. This is the modification which occurs at the synapses during the transmission of synapses. Without this activity, the transmission of signals would be impossible.
