<span>Isometric muscular contractions do not change the length of the muscle they are responsible for movement. Isotonic muscular contractions will lengthen or shorten the muscle. Concentric contractions shorten the muscle. Eccentric contractions lengthen the muscle.</span>
False. The right side of the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the lungs to be re-oxygenated. For this reason, the right side of the heart is considered the pulmonary circuit pump. The left side of the heart pumps blood to the body, and is therefore considered the systemic circuit pump. ;)
Answer:
D) The area was on land.
Explanation:
We can tell that this is the answer because of the process of elimination.
- It is not A or C, because there is not enough information given to us to determine whether the area was hot or cold.
- It is not B, because ferns do not grow in the ocean. (Unless it a specific type of water fern that have not heard about... but this is <u>highly unlikely</u>, so don't worry.)
- This leaves us with: D) The area was on land. This is the correct answer because ferns do grow on land, and a sedimetary rock containing a fern fossil is much more likely to be found on land than on the ocean floor.
Hope I could help!

All of the cells within a complex multi-cellular organism such as a human being contain the same DNA; however, the body of such an organism is clearly composed of many different types of cells.
<u>What, then, makes a liver cell different from a skin or muscle cell</u> is <em>the way each cell deploy (utilizes) its genome</em>. In other words, the particular combination of genes that are turned on (expressed) or turned off (repressed) dictates cellular morphology (shape) and function. This process of gene expression is <em>regulated by cues</em> from both within and outside cells, and the<em> interplay </em>between these cues and the genome <u>affects essentially all processes</u> that occur during embryonic development and adult life.
Outside/Environmental cues include small molecules, secreted proteins (growth factors or signaling molecules), temperature, and oxygen.
The signaling molecules trigger intercellular signaling cascades (series of chemical reactions) that ultimately cause semipermanent changes in expression of genes. Such changes in gene expression can include turning genes completely on or off.
This process is thought to regulate a vast number of cell behaviors, including cell fate decisions during embryogenesis, cell function, and chemotaxis (i.e. cell movement in response to concentration gradient of a particular substance.)
