Answer:

b) Elasticity

Explanation:

Muscle tissues exhibit some specific properties. Muscle tissues can increase their original length and become extended. However, muscles have the ability to resume their original length and shape. This ability of muscle tissues is called elasticity. Due to elasticity, muscle tissues contract and extend and thereby, serve in the movement of body parts and body.

Specific structural proteins of myofibrils impart the muscle tissues their elasticity.  These structural proteins such as actinin, myomesin, nebulin, etc maintain the proper alignment of thick and thin filaments to allow muscles to remain elastic in nature,

Which of the following is the largest particle in soil? A-clay B-sand C-silt D-humus
Akimi4 [234]

Well the soil classification is usually done on the basis of particle sizes and composition of soil.

<span>Clay </span>usually consists of particles less than 0.075 mm in size. It is a sticky soil and shows great changes in volume with variation in its water contact. It also shows considerable strength when air dried.

<span>Silt </span>has larger particles than clay and are mainly inorganic in nature. The particle size is less than 0.075mm and exhibits slightly plastic or non plastic behaviour.

Humus is soil consisting of dead and decaying organic matter. It is mainly organic in content but some inorganic particles may be mixed in it. The top soil in a tropical forest may be considered as humus.

In the female, the development of the "egg" halts during TWO stages, _________ and __________
earnstyle [38]

Answer: The blanks can be correctly filled up with prophase I and metaphase II.

Explanation:

In females, finite number of oocytes are present since birth. The process of oogenesis initiate in embryonic stage only. However, oogonia divide and mature to form primary oocytes. These primary oocytes start meiotic division but arrest in prophase I stage before birth.

After a girl attains puberty, one primary oocyte resumes its division each month during a menstrual cycle. The primary oocyte divides to form secondary oocyte and polar body.

Polar bodies degenerate after completing meiosis II. However, secondary oocyte halts its division again at metaphase II until fertilization takes place. Once fertilization takes place it completes its meiosis II and results into mature ovum and polar body.

A nurse is teaching clients about healthy living and obtaining adequate foods in our diets for energy. Which statement by the cl
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

"My nutritionist measures energy content of food by using a bomb calorimeter."

Explanation

Animals humans included eat food in order to get chemical energy through cellular respiration either aerobically or anaerobically.

Therefore, food energy is the amount of chemical energy that can be derived from food.

Food energy can be measured using a bomb calorimeter and the unit of measurement is calories.

So when the client made the statement and mentioned energy content in food being measured by a calorimeter, it shows the client had an understanding on how energy in food is measured.
