What is the relationship between ligaments, bones and joints?​

Biology
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]3 years ago
8 0

Ligaments connect one bone to another bone. Therefore, they allow a joint to form, because joints are where two or more bones connect.

Take your knee joint for instance (***see attached pic***). The knee joint is formed by the connection of the femur (your thigh bone), the tibia (your shin bone), and the fibula (the other long bone in your lower leg). In order for all of these bones to connect there are many ligaments in the knee joint that keep the bones connected and in place.  A well known example of one of these ligaments in the knee joint is the ACL (anterior crucate ligament), which is commonly torn in sports, namely football. Most people have heard of this ligament because it receives a lot of media attention since tearing it can greatly alter or even end professional athletes' careers.

SUNLIGHT
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

"without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur" is completely false. Light energy is needed for the light-dependent reactions, or simply the light reactions, of photosynthesis.

"oxygen is an input into photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is an output" is also completely false. It is the opposite.

These statements are true, however:

SUNLIGHT

CARBON DIOXIDE

WATER

MINERALS

OXYGEN

PLANT SUGARS

Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes) in the leaves.

Sunlight is an input, CO2 is an input, water is an input (taken in through the roots, transported through the veins), minerals are a collective input, oxygen is an output (produced during photolysis), and plant sugars are an output (glucose, for an example).

How can birds pass on their urine?​
likoan [24]

Birds, unlike mammals, do not have separate exits for urine and feces. Both waste products are eliminated simultaneously through the cloaca. While mammals excrete nitrogenous wastes mostly in the form of urea, birds convert it to uric acid or guanine, which reduces water loss in comparison.
