Answer:

The low gravity of the moon caused:

The golf club became very rigid.
Hitting the ball became very difficult.
Once hit, the ball traveled immeasurable distances.

Explanation:

The game of golf on the moon was influenced by gravity. First, the astronauts who participated in the feat, stated that the golf club became extremely rigid, which hindered the correct movement of the instrument. Shepard, one of those astronauts, said that it was very difficult to hit the ball and he ended up missing in the first three strokes, hitting only the space above the ball, with the club. When it finally hit the ball, it ran a distance of 40 meters, when it hit the ball for the second time, it covered a much greater distance, but unknown until today.

The golf would weigh less than a gram, and the ball, if hit hard, would fly at least very far away due to the kinetic energy without any atmospheric drag.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

They're still VERY relevant.

Explanation:

In 2019, an estimated 34,800 new HIV infections occurred in the United States. HOWEVER new HIV infections declined 8% from 37,800 in 2015 to 34,800 in 2019. In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration gave the green light to using daily pills of an HIV medication called Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir) to prevent infection. It proved more than 85% effective when taken on schedule. New drugs are still being developed, here's a link from the

FDA explaining some different types of new TREATMENT medications:

A red blood cell with an osmolarity of 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) swells but does not lyse when placed in a 300 mOsM sol

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

A. 200 mOsM NaCl

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

B. 400 mOsM urea

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

D. 300 mOsM urea

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.

part of an important cellular process involving a DNA strand is modeled below. What is the purpose of the cellular process ?

creativ13 [48]

Cellular respiration is the process by which cells in plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy, which is then used to perform work at the cellular level.

Explanation: In simpler words, it provides energy for the cell to do basic needs.

If the release of thyroid hormone (TH) was regulated by a long-loop negative feedback, where would you find the cells that are i

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Lower levels of T3 and T4 in the blood or lower metabolic rate serve as signal and stimulate the release of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) from the hypothalamus. The TRH stimulates the anterior pituitary gland to release thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) which in turn makes the thyroid gland to release the thyroid hormones.

The elevated levels of thyroid hormones inhibit the release of TRH from the hypothalamus and that of TSH from the anterior pituitary gland.

Hence, the cells of hypothalamus and anterior pituitary gland would be inhibited by the binding of thyroid hormone to regulate the release of these hormones by a negative feedback mechanism.
