Answer:

Mechanical :

Support. Bones provide a framework for the attachment of muscles and other tissues.

Movement. Bones enable body movements by acting as levers and points of attachment for muscles.

Protective :

Bones such as the skull and rib cage protect vital organs from injury. Bones also protect the marrow.

Metabolic :

Mineral storage. Bones serve as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for various cellular activities throughout the body.

Blood cell production. The production of blood cells, or hematopoiesis, occurs in the red marrow found within the cavities of certain bones.

Energy storage. Lipids (fats) stored in adipose cells of the yellow marrow serve as an energy reservoir.

Answer:

(B) Led to the "one-person, one-vote" judicial doctrine - Prohibited oddly-shaped majority-minority districts

Explanation:

Baker v. Carr (1961) is a Supreme Court case concerning equality in voting districts. Decided in 1962, the ruling established the standard of "one person, one vote" and opened the door for the Court to rule on districting cases.

Shaw v. Reno (1993) In 1991, a group of white voters in North Carolina challenged the state's new congressional district map, which had two “majority-minority” districts. The group claimed that the districts were racial gerrymanders that violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.  In its 1993 decision, the Supreme Court agreed, ruling that race cannot be the predominant factor in creating districts.

Que tiene diferente estas palabras atados y desatados A.Tienen la misma raíz B.Una tiene particula prefija
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

La respuesta correcta es B) Una tiene una partícula prefija.

¿Qué tiene diferente estas palabras atados y desatados?

Respuesta: una tiene partícula prefija.

Estos prefijos son palabras que se anteponen a otra, cambiando su significado origínenla y creando una nuevo.

Tal y como lo muestra el ejemplo, la palabra "atados" significa que algo está unido por algún objeto. Ejemplo:

"Los prisioneros estaban atados de pies y manos y no podían moverse."

En cambio, la palabra "desatados" significa que están "sueltos," que nada los ata. Ejemplo:

"Los prisioneros fueron desatados y se marcharon sin cargos."
