<span>The scientific data that Benjamin Franklin gathers on the Gulf stream was important in the 1700's because ships could take advantage of the currents to speed up travel. Up to that time, they were unaware of how a ship traveling in one direction could reach their destination so much faster than a ship traveling in the opposite direction.</span>

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.

Asexual reproduction is when an organism produces offspring that inherit the same genes of the producer (it's essentially, a copy of itself).

It´s a type of reproduction practiced by Achaea and bacteria which are single-celled organisms.
