Answer:

3: A device that uses radioactive fluid to determine the active areas of the brain

Explanation:

A positron emission tomography (PET) scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity. This scan can sometimes detect disease before it shows up on other imaging tests.

Depending on the type of exam, the radiotracer is injected, swallowed or inhaled as a gas. It eventually accumulates in the area of the body under examination. A special camera or imaging device detects radioactive emissions from the radiotracer. The camera or device produces pictures and provides molecular information.

Answer:E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

Explanation:

Chargaff's rules state that in a given DNA molecule the percentage of Adenine %A is approximately equals the percentage of Thymine %T and the percentage of Guanine %G is approximately equals the percentage of Cytosine %C.

Answer is

E. coli: Cytosine- 26, Thymine-24

Human: Guanine-20, Cytosine-20

Ox: Guanine-21, Cytosine-21, Thymine-29

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

A flat sheet of connective tissue that extends beyond the muscle fibers to attach the muscle to bone is a TENDON.

Explanation:

Tendon can be described as a fibrous connective tissue which functions mainly to attach muscles to bones hence, playing a major role in the movement of the bone or structure. Tendons also function to connect muscles to other structures like the eye ball.

Contrary to the tendons, ligaments are also fibrous connective tissues which are involved in the attachment of bone to bone. Hence, ligaments play major role in holding the structures and keeping them stable.

In some cases, inflammation of cranial nerves accompanies acute labyrinthitis. Which cranial nerve is most likely to be affected
Roman55 [17]
The cranial nerve most likely to be affected hat is evidenced by acute labyrinthitis is the EIGHTH Cranial Nerve named Vestibulocochlear.

Vestibulocochlear nerve dysfunction can cause hearing loss, vertigo, or tinnitus. The dysfunction is a result of the damage in either the cochlear or vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve. Damage is  between the inner ear and its entry into the brainstem at the pontomedullary junction.

Vestibular neuritis is also identified as labyrinthitis, vestibular neuronitis, and acute peripheral vestibulopathy.
