Would fibrous and cartilaginous joints be able to perform their functions if they had joint cavities? Explain.

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'.

Which of these energy transformations is taking place in the chimpmunk when its cells use the plants sugars to carry out cell pr

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. chemical energy -> kinetic energy

B. kinetic energy -> solar energy

C. solar energy -> chemical energy

D. kinetic energy -> nuclear energy

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

All living organisms need energy to carry out certain processes in their body. This energy is obtained in form of ATP (chemical energy) when their food molecules is broken down via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

This chemical energy (ATP) is needed to perform cellular processes in the body. According to this question, a chipmunk (animal) will utilize the energy it derives (ATP) from breaking down plant sugars to carry out its cell processes. This means that it will transform CHEMICAL ENERGY → KINETIC ENERGY.

Note that, kinetic energy is the energy due to motion in the Chipmunk.

Which nervous system regulates involuntary activities that you probably don’t even realize are happening?

Feliz [49]

The correct answer should be
<span>D. Autonomic nervous system

It is called autonomic because it works on its own and it regulates organs functioning which is a thing that happens involuntarily. It regulates heart beats for example and it's not something that you do voluntarily since the heart beats regardless of you. It also controls things like vomiting or sneezing that you can't choose not to do when it starts happening.</span>
