Answer:
The cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.
Explanation:
We have, A cyclist starts at a position of origin. He takes 3 s to move east to a position of +8 m. He then cycles west to a position of +5 m which takes an additional 2 s.
It is required to find the cyclist’s displacement. Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it or it is given by the difference of final to the initial position.
Finally, he cycles west to a position of +5 m. Distance between final and initial position is +5 m.
Hence, the cyclist’s displacement is +5 m.
Answer: By Hormonal action and Nervous coordination
Explanation:
Hormones are substances produced by one tissue and conveyed by the bloodstream to another to effect physiological activity. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a stable internal environment in the body.
Body systems such as digestive, circulatory, excretory systems etc, all are coordinated to achieve a STABLE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT by the aid of HORMONES AND/OR NERVOUS COORDINATION.
For Example: the vasodilation of blood vessels during hot weather, and the opposite action of vasoconstriction during cold weather are both controlled by Hormonal action and nervous coordination which leads to a stable body temperature preventing excess heat accumulation.
Also, Nervous system controls the body systems, such that the muscle contractions are joined to actions like sweating, breathing, respiration etc
So, to maintain homeostasis hormonal action and Nervous coordination is necessary.
Answer:
The presence of predators of deer which does not allow increase in the population of deer year after year.
Explanation:
In an forest ecosystem, one animal controls the population of another organisms and thus there is no increase in the population of that organism and the ecosystem is in equilibrium state. The population of deer did not increase due to the presence of predators such as lion, cheetah etc and the net population is 0.
Cellulose is another long polymer of glucose. Plant cells make their cell walls out of cellulose. In fact, 100 billion tons of cellulose is made every year on earth. Cellulose is indigestible in most animals, including us. Ever eat a cardboard box? You get the picture. We simply lack cellulase, the enzyme that can break it down. Some bacteria, some single-celled protists, and fungi have the enzyme. Animals that feed on cellulose harbor these microbes that help them digest it. Even though, we cannot break down this molecule, we do need cellulose in our diet. We call it “fiber”. Cellulose stimulates the colon to produce regular bowel movements and helps make the stools large and soft. A diet rich in fiber can prevent a painful intestinal disorder called diverticulosis. Hard impacted stools can sometimes cause the walls of the colon to form blind outpockets called diverticula which can periodically inflame. So what makes cellulose different from starch? Isn’t it made of glucose? Well it is but the glucose monomers are organized in an interesting fashion. The orientation of the glucose molecules alternates. So if the first one is right side up, the next one is upside down and then the next is right side up and the next one is upside down. Apparently this is a tricky arrangement for an enzyme to break.
Pacinian corpuscles are rapidly-adapting, deep receptors that respond to deep pressure and high-frequency vibration.
