Placing an object in a known amount of water, the quantity of the water that rises helpes you find the volume by DISPLACEMENT

Explanation:

This method is used to measure the volume of irregular objects like some that do not have definite measurements that can be used mathematically to calculate its volume.

When fully immersed in water, the object will displace an equal amount of water as its volume. If this displacement of the water is well measured, such as using a calibrated cylinder, then it is definitely possible to derive the volume of the immersed irregular object.

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as ____________ molecules of atp are produced from one molecule of glucose.

shusha [124]

In the skeletal muscle cells of vertebrates, as many as 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. This is less than might be expected, because electrons from NADH produced during glycolysis must be shuttled through the inner mitochondrial membrane at a cost.
The energy of the electrons can be used to make ATP and in eukaryotes, glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, outside mitochondria.

The anterior portion of the body of most annelids, such as the earthworm, is adapted for sensing the environment.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

The answer is False. Although sensitive cells are more abundant in the anterior portion of the annelid´s body, in general, they are arranged in all the segments.

Explanation:

Annelids, such as the earthworm, have a variety of sensory cells:

Mechanoreceptors, disposed of in groups in each segment of their body.

Photoreceptors: Light-sensitive cells. Although they are located in the whole body, they are abundant in anterior and posterior segments, concentrated in the intern and dorsal part of the epidermis.

Humidity receptors are the most sensitive cells and are located in the first segments of the earthworm body

Chemoreceptors: sensorial cells cumulus forming a prominent tubercle with prolongations that extends through the cuticle. These tubercles form three rings in each segment but are especially abundant in the anterior part of the body.

The tegument is very rich in free nervous terminations, which functions might be tactile.
