Answer:
C. A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
Explanation:
Carbon assimilation occurs when inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) is converted to organic compounds by living organisms such as plants.
Let's analyze each choice;
The respiration of a animal - Respiration
A factory burning fossil fuels- Combustion
A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis- assimilation or fixation
Fossil fuel deposits - from decay of dead organisms and waste products.
Answer:
B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal
energy away from the water in the pipe
Explanation:
Air is a poor conductor thermal energy and can be used as good insulator. Insulators are poor conductors of heat.
When it is freezing outside, the temperature gradient will tend to adjust to the ambient one. The water in the pipe being at a higher temperature will tend to lose heat energy to the surrounding.
The layer of foam will prevent this form of heat exchange from happening because of the air pocket that is present around.
Answer:
1. They must be removed before sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes can separate
Explanation:
During the S-phase of the cell cycle, not only does DNA have to be replicated, but also newly synthesized DNA molecules have to be connected with each other. This replicated DNA (sister chromatids) remain physically connected with each other from S phase until metaphase. This physical connection is called Sister chromatids cohesion.
Sister chromatid cohesion depends on COHESIN, a tripartite protein complex that forms a ring structure to hold sister chromatids together during mitosis and meiosis. Cohesin regulates the separation of sister chromatids during cell division, either mitosis or meiosis. This sister chromatid cohesion is essential for the biorientation of chromosomes on the mitotic or meiotic metaphase spindle, and is thus an essential prerequisite for chromosome segregation. Without the cohesion, sister chromatids would not be segregated symmetrically between the forming daughter cells, resulting in aneuploidy.
Cohesion is established during S-phase of DNA replication, and the cohesins hold the sister chromatid together after DNA replication until anaphase when the removal of cohesin leads to separation of sister chromatids (meiosis II and mitosis) and homologous chromosomes (meiosis I).
Involuntary muscles are the muscles that move without conscious control of the organism and are controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
Some examples of this are:
• the ,cardiac muscle, (,heart,)
,
• smooth muscles,, like the ones found in the ,stomach,, ,intestine,, and, bladder.
