Answer:

Receptor tyrosine kinases.

Explanation:

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases are cell surface receptors that are attracted to or have an high affinity for hormones, certain growth factors and cytokines that are present in the body.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases are also known transmembrane receptors. They are activated by signalling mechanisms or pathways.

The particular molecule ( i.e. hormone, growth factors or cytokines) that requires the used of a Receptor Tyrosine Kinases sends a signal which then causes the Receptor Tyrosine Kinases to bind to the surface of the molecules causing a series of reactions to take place in the cell.

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases are very essential and important for:

a. Cell growth

b. Cellular differentiation

c. Cellular metabolism

d. Cellular survival

e. The multiplication or increase in the number of cells also known as proliferation

Receptor Tyrosine Kinases reacts by forming dimers.

Answer:

Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs)

Explanation:

Receptor tyrosine kinases is one of the major categories of receptors in the plasma membrane, it reacts by forming dimmers, phosphate groups are also added, and lastly the relay proteins will be activated.

Receptor tyrosine kinases helps in the following cellular processes;

- Motility

- Growth

- Metabolism

- Differentiation.

A roller coaster is travelling 1 m/s at the top of the track. At the bottom of the track, 5 seconds later, it is travelling 36 m

lidiya [134]

Answer:

7m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity at the top = 1m/s

Velocity at the bottom = 36m/s

Time = 5s

Unknown:

Average acceleration = ?

Solution;

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It is expressed as;

A = $\frac{v -u}{t}$

v is the velocity at the top

u is the velocity at the bottom

t is the time taken

Now, insert the parameters and solve;

A = $\frac{36 - 1}{5}$ = 7m/s²

Name one contact force and one force that acts through a force field

nirvana33 [79]

A contact force is a type of force which act on an object by coming in contact with the object. Examples of contact force that acts through a force field are: applied force, frictional force, air resistance force, tension, spring force, etc.
Examples of forces that act through a force field are gravitational force, electromagnetic force, the weak interaction and the strong interaction.

Think of a sphere with many a star-

ycow [4]

Answer:

For it is a Globular Cluster

Explanation:

These Globular clusters are not considered to be a galaxies because they bond gravitationally to orbiting galaxies like the Milky Way and their masses are relatively small.

In globular clusters, the stars are closed together and they are like 70times closer to one another in their solar neighbourhood.

A globular cluster is a spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes, and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers.
