Answer:

The endocrine system, compared to the nervous system, is much slower.

The nervous system controls all the processes considered "secondary", since it is the one that captures the stimuli and transforms them into signals that will later be read in the different secretory organs, muscles, etc.

For there to be an endrocrine signal, there must first have been an electrical (nervous) signal that initiated it. Then there will be a secretory response, which will activate some receptor in the white tissues and initiate some response.

As you can see in order to arrive at an endocrine system response, it was first necessary to go through several previous steps.

If a sample originally had 120 Adams of carbon 14 how many atoms will remain after 17,190 years

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

15 atoms

Explanation:

About 15 atoms out of the 120 Adams would remain.

Generally, the half-life of a substance is the time it takes for one-half of that substance to disintegrate.

Carbon 14 has a half-life of approximately 5,730 years. 17,190 years means that the sample had stayed for 17,190/5,730 which is equal to 3 carbon-14 half-lives.

Out of 120 Adams,

the first half-life will reduce 120 to 60 Adams
the second half-life will reduce 60 Adams to 30 Adams
the third half-life will reduce 30 Adams to 15 Adams.

Hence, at the end of the 17,190 years, approximately 15 Adams would remain.

How could you now analyze or interpret how social reality affects our daily function as individual or as a social worker? If yes

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Concerts, sports games, and political rallies can have very large crowds. When you attend one of these events, you may know only the people you came with. Yet you may experience a feeling of connection to the group. You are one of the crowd. You cheer and applaud when everyone else does. You boo and yell alongside them. You move out of the way when someone needs to get by, and you say “excuse me” when you need to leave. You know how to behave in this kind of crowd.

It can be a very different experience if you are travelling in a foreign country and find yourself in a crowd moving down the street. You may have trouble figuring out what is happening. Is the crowd just the usual morning rush, or is it a political protest of some kind? Perhaps there was some sort of accident or disaster. Is it safe in this crowd, or should you try to extract yourself? How can you find out what is going on? Although you are in it, you may not feel like you are part of this crowd. You may not know what to do or how to behave.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

Bacteria capsule.

Explanation:

The bacteria capsule is a layer of polysaccharides that is around the bacteria membrane. Its principal function is to protect the bacteria from dehydration, destructive toxins, and cells that can destruct the bacteria, such as phagosomes. As a result, the bacteria have a higher probability of surviving and colonizing.
