Joint cavities are spaces in between the bones that make up a joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints naturally have cavities in them. The cavities are encapsulated by articular cartilage and synovial membrane. So, fibrous and cartilaginous joints would be able to perform their functions if they had joint cavities.

The joint cavities are composed of two bones covered by the hyaline cartilage. The joint cavities allow for the movement of the two articulated bones. The fibrous and the cartilaginous bones have no joint cavities as they require little to no movement. These joints are connected tightly by the cartilage, such as in the spinal column. if the joint cavities were present in these joints, then these structures will not be held tightly and hence, they could not perform their function well.

Hence, the answer is 'the fibrous and cartilaginous joints will not be able to perform their function if they had joint cavities'.

Describe two ways in which the above law protects citizens against human trafficking

user100 [1]

Answer:

The law in question is not included so I will include tow different laws and how they protect people from human trafficking.

1. The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Prevention Act (TVPA).

This Act made human trafficking a Federal crime while also establishing rules on how to prosecute human traffickers and getting the victims of trafficking reintegrated into society and protected. Under this Act therefore, citizens are protected because the law would act as a deterrent to a lot of would-be traffickers.

2. The Mann Act of 1910.

Under this Act, it is a crime to make promises to people such that they cross state lines and are then involved in activities they did not sign up for - this is a definition of human trafficking so this law protects citizens from that.

Starting with Precambrian time, briefly describe how life on earth has changed over Earth's long history.

lara [203]

Early pre-cambrian period the atmosphere consisted only of nitrogen and carbon dioxide without oxygen.

A Prokaryotic cell does not contain a nucleus. It only contains one chromosome and is a single-celled organism. It was the only form of life on earth for millions of years. Examples of a Prokaryotic cell are the different types of bacteria present today.

Autotrophs obtain energy by the process of photosynthesis. Any living organism need energy to survive and autotrophs are no different. Two types of autotrophs are present and they are Photoautotrophs and Chemoautotrophs. The Photoautotrophs rely on the energy produced during the process of photosynthesis and the Chemoautotrophs get their energy from most of the inorganic substances. Phtoautotrophs actually get their energy from the sunlight and then convert it into reusable form. In case of Chemoautotrophs ammonia is an important source of energy for them.
