Water can "defy gravity" and climb uphill? True or false. Why or why not

Biology

The answer is actually <u>true</u><u>.</u>

The starting point of all rivers is higher than their end point. However, under the right conditions, small amounts of water can be drawn upwards, against the tug of gravity, through a phenomenon known as "capillary action". For this to occur, however, the water must be confined into a small flow space.

Hope this helps!  If it does, would you mind marking my answer as Brainliest? Thanks :D

The area of the muscle fiber where the actin and myosin myofilaments overlap is
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Sarcomere

Explanation:

The muscle fiber / myofibrils consist of 2 types of filaments - actin and myosin. The myosin filaments are thick filament whereas the actin filaments are the thin filament.

In addition to this, the muscles have A-band and I-bands. These bands give the muscles alternate light and dark colour band structure. In the A-band, myosin filaments are present, whereas in the I - band the actin filaments are found.

In I-band 2 Z-lines are located.  The area between the Z-lines is called sarcomere. In this sarcomere region both actin and myosin filaments present.

When muscles get contracted the length of the sarcomere shorten. The actin and myosin filaments overlap in this area. A cross-bridge form between them, with the help of filamentous protein titin.

In your own words, describe how the time required for digestion can be used to determine the time of death.
Paul [167]

Answer: Backdating the time required for food found in the stomach of the deceased to digest. Since digestion can't continue after death.

Explanation: The time taken for food to get digested can be employed to depicts time of death. This process involves understanding the period of time that usually takes the food found in the gastric of the deceased to calculate the time of death.

Different foods has varying time of digestion, so therefore, the gastric content is a good indicator to determine time of death by the doctor who is carrying out autopsy, since digestion does not continue after death.

However, it is established by scientist that food takes up to 4-6hours in the stomach depending on the size and type of food. Hence, if the status of the food found in the deceased stomach is noted accordingly and the time taken requires for digestion is also noted، the doctor can deduce the time of death accordingly from this two points.
