Given:

Measure of box reported by Cristal = 18 cubic units

Measure of box reported by Kyle = 48 cubic units

To find: The reason behind the discrepancies in their reporting.

Answer:

The measurement has been done in 'cubic units'. This indicates that they are measuring the volume of the box. Now, the differences in their reporting can be due to the following reasons:

  1. Unit of measurement: Cristal might have reported in imperial units whereas Kyle must have used metric units. Example, an inch is greater than a centimeter.
  2. Instrument used for measurement: Either Cristal or Kyle are using a non-standardized instrument for recording measurements. The unit spacing between, say Kyle's instrument might be smaller than that of Cristal's. They need to check it against a standard ruler to standardize their rulers.
  3. Least count error: Instruments with a greater least count or bigger gradations are prone to errors than instruments with a smaller least count. Example, a ruler with a least count of 1 inch will not be able to record in decimal units whereas a ruler with a least count of 1 mm can make fine recording.
  4. Rigidity of box: If the box can shrink under different environmental conditions then there will inconsistencies in their recording. Cristal must have recorded its volume in cold temperature whereas Kyle must have recorded its volume in hot temperature. (<em>sounds odd but is true</em>)

meriva
A hemopheliac is someone with a bleeding disorder resulting from any missing clotting factors in their blood. Vasoconstriction isn't generally the problem in hemophiliacs, nor is it the destruction of pathogens. If fibrin threads are not present to help form the platelet plug, then excessive bleeding occurs. Fibrin is one clotting factor that a hemophiliac may be missing which is then causing the disorder.

Which statement is true? Bronchitis can result in hoarseness. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick mucus secr
Natalka [10]

<u>Answer</u>:  Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick mucus secretions.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • <em>Cystic fibrosis</em> is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in a gene that makes a protein called CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator).
  • The CFTR protein normally functions as a channel for transport of chloride ions in cells responsible for mucus production.
  • A person suffering from cystic fibrosis produces abnormal CFTR protein or no CFTR protein at all.
  • This is the  reason that thick, sticky mucus is produced instead of the thin, watery kind.

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The cytosol is best described as semifluid substance in which organelles are suspended.

Explanation:

Cells have different components. They can be divided in eukaryotic and prokaryotic. When it comes to the first type, they have a defined membrane for the nucleus. When it comes to the second ones, they have their nucleus in all the cytosol. <em>The cytosol is the space in the cell made of a semifluid subtance with different organelles suspended</em>.

Just to mention some of the organelles that can be there, we can find mitochondrion , endoplasmic reticulum , centriole , among others.
