The answer is <span>C) Polymerization
Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of glucose. It is a polymer so it is produced by polymerization of its basic units. Glycogen is the polymer (polysaccharide) produced by polymerization of glucose.</span>
Answer:
A. Heritable
C. Affected by the MC1R gene
D. Polygenic trait
Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.
Explanation:
Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.
The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population
The correct answer is: <em>tibia</em>
The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is one of the longest bones of the human body. The distal point of the femur refers to the area furthest away from its point of attachment, which in this case is the hip joint (please refer to the attached image). When referring to the image, you can see that the distal end of the femur articulates with the bone known as the tibia or shin bone. The tibia is the larger of the two bones located at the distal end of the femur. The tibia includes the knee and ankle joints. Therefore, the bone that articulates with the distal end of the femur is the tibia.
Answer:
B.Active transport, because energy is being used to move molecules against the concentration gradient
Explanation:
Substances move in and out of living cells through various transport means. Some substances move passively (without energy) while others move actively (with energy). Active transport of substances involves the movement of molecules against the concentration gradient.
Active transport moves against concentration gradient in the sense that the movement occurs from a region which is less concentrated to one which is more concentrated, hence, energy input in form of ATP is required for such transport to occur. This is the case of the cellular transport in the diagram. Therefore, it is an ACTIVE TRANSPORT because energy input (ATP) is required.
Note, Osmosis and facilitated diffusion are types of passive transport that requires no energy to occur.
