Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.

Answer:

  • time: 1.122 seconds
  • range: 10.693 m
  • maximum height: 1.543 m

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>:

  runner is launched at 30° angle to horizontal at 11 m/s

  acceleration due to gravity is g = -9.8 m/s²

<u>Find</u>:

  runner's hang time

  runner's distance to the landing point

  runner's maximum height

<u>Solution</u>:

The (horizontal, vertical) speed components will be ...

  (11 m/s)(cos(30°), sin(30°)) = (5.5√3 m/s, 5.5 m/s)

The time of flight can be found from the height formula:

  h(t) = 1/2gt² +vt . . . . . . where v is the vertical speed at launch

The time we're concerned with is the time when h(t)=0 and t>0.

  0 = -4.9t^2 +5.5√3t = t(-4.9t +5.5√3)

The second factor is zero when ...

  t = (5.5√3)/4.9 ≈ 1.122 . . . seconds hang time

__

The distance to the landing point will be the product of horizontal speed and hang time:

  d = (5.5 m/s)(5.5√3/4.9 s) ≈ 10.693 m . . . . distance to landing

__

The maximum height can be found from the formula (based on conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy) ...

  h = v²/|2g| = (5.5 m/s)²/(2(9.8 m/s²)) ≈ 1.543 m . . . . maximum height

Which statements are true regarding pharmacodynamics and the pediatric client? select all that apply?
prisoha [69]
The statements that are true are the following:
1. The levels of microsomal enzymes are decreased.
Microsomal enzymes are functional parts of the human liver, which participate actively in the drug metabolism. It has been shown that the activity of these enzymes is lower in children, reaching its full activity in adult individuals. 
2. First pass elimination is reduced because of the immaturity of the liver.
First pass elimination is a phenomenon of drug metabolism, that occurs in the liver or the gut and involves the reduction of the drug concentration before it reaches the systemic circulation. In neonates, the liver is immature and undergoes several changes during the postnatal period.
3. Gastric emptying is slowed because of slow or irregular peristalsis.
 Peristalsis is a term referring to the movement of food to several positions of the digestive tract, through muscle contractions. Gastric emptying is strongly affected by peristalsis. Some children have irregular peristaltic movement.

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Clomid tricks the body because it tells the brain that estrogen levels are low, thereby leading to higher production of this hormone  

Explanation:

There are many types of hormones that are regulated by the negative feedback mechanism (where hormone feeds back to decrease its production). Clomid is a drug used to treat female infertility by making the body think that the concentration of estrogen is low, which induces the secretion of Follicle-stimulating (FSH) and luteinizing (LH) hormones by the pituitary gland. The estrogen hormone exerts negative feedback on the Gonadotropin-releasing (GnRH) hormone, which is responsible for the release of FSH and LH. High FSH levels stimulate the growth of follicles in the ovaries, which will be released during ovulation.
