Answer:

superconductor - noun: superconductor; plural noun: superconductors  a substance capable of becoming superconducting at sufficiently low temperatures.  a substance in the superconducting state.  "as they are cooled through a critical temperature, they suddenly become superconductors"

insulator- noun: insulator; plural noun: insulators

a substance which does not readily allow the passage of heat or sound.  "cotton is a poor insulator"  a substance or device which does not readily conduct electricity.  a block of material, typically glass or ceramic, enclosing a wire carrying an electric current where it crosses a support.

conductor- noun: conductor; plural noun: conductors  1.  a person who directs the performance of an orchestra or choir.  "he was appointed principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra"  2.  BRITISH  a person in charge of a train, streetcar, or other public conveyance, who collects fares and sells tickets.  3.  PHYSICS  a material or device that conducts or transmits heat, electricity, or sound, especially when regarded in terms of its capacity to do this.  "graphite is a reasonably good conductor of electricity"  another term for lightning rod.

semiconductor- noun: semiconductor; plural noun: semiconductors  a solid substance that has a conductivity between that of an insulator and that of most metals, either due to the addition of an impurity or because of temperature effects. Devices made of semiconductors, notably silicon, are essential components of most electronic circuits.

<h3>What are Eukaryotic cells ?</h3>

Eukaryotes are organisms having cells that contain a nuclear envelope around their nucleus. They are a member of the Eukaryota class of organisms. One of the three domains of life is the eukaryotic domain; the other two are the bacterial and archaeal domains.

  • The nuclear membrane encloses the nucleus in eukaryotic cells. the mitochondria of the cell. In a eukaryotic cell, the locomotory organs are flagella and cilia. The outermost layer of eukaryotic cells is called a cell wall. The process of mitosis is how cells divide.

Where in the cell does the krebs cycle part of cellular respiration occur ?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

<u>In the mitochondrial matrix</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The mitochondria is an organelle within the cytoplasm of the cell.  It consists of an outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix containing a gel-like substance. During aerobic respiration in mitochondria, cells break down sugars in the form of glucose into CO_{2} (carbon dioxide) and  H_{2} O (water) to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6+ 6 O2        →      6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

(glucose)   (oxygen)         (carbon dioxide) + (water)

The Kreb's cycle involves several enzymatic reactions, where pyruvate derivatives obtained from glycolysis, are reduced and oxidized to harvest energy as ATP.

How can a mother with the B blood type, having A antibodies in her plasma, carry a baby full-term that inherits the A blood type
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The mother can carry a full-term baby with A blood type because the mother's blood does not mix with the baby's blood, so the mother's immune system does not activate attacking the baby.

Explanation:

The reason why a mother with B blood type and A antibodies in her system can carry a full-term pregnancy is thanks to the placenta. The placenta is a shared organ between the mother and the baby. Its function is to protect the baby and produce the necessary exchanges of nutrients and wastes between the maternal blood and the baby's blood. As the two types of blood are separated, and they never get in contact during pregnancy, the immune system of the mother does not recognize the baby as a treat. The mother can have A antibodies in her plasma due to a previous pregnancy where during delivery, the two types of blood mixed, also it can be due to any contact with the A blood type. When the foreign blood enters the body, the immune system forms antibodies for it.
