Answer:

Part of the extracellular matrix secreted by osteocytes. (Ans. B)

Explanation:

Cells which are present on bones are known as osteocytes. Bone is composed of extracellular matrix, and cells. There are three types of cells which are present in the bones:

1) Osteoprogenitor cells.

2) Osteoblast.

3) Osteocyte.

Extracellular matrix is composed of organic matrix consisting glycoproteins, proteoglycans, osteocalcin also known as calcium binding proteins, and osteonectin which anchors bone mineral to collagen.

Two identical daughter cell result from mitosis and cytokinesis. In what ways are they " identical"?
Keith_Richards [23]
The two identical daughter cells resulting from mitosis and cytokinesis are identical in the following ways:1. Mitosis occurs when the nucleus of the cell divides into two identical nuclei, each with the same type and number of chromosomes. The cell's DNA is duplicated during this phase. Sometimes the cell's DNA isn't copied properly resulting in cancer-type cells. 2. Cytokinesis is when the cytoplasm divides into two identical daughter cells. Each cell is genetically identical and both are a similar size.

Describe the effect that exercise has on tidal volume, alveolar ventilation, and anatomical dead space compared to the resting r
gladu [14]
Exercise or any other physical activity, increases the oxygen demand in the lungs and affects the flow of air into the lungs.

Tidal Volume: The amount of air inspired (air that leaves or enters the lungs) during breathing is called tidal volume.  With the increase in physical activity such as exercise, the tidal volume increases to allow more gaseous exchange. During exercise, the amount of air to be inhaled increases, thus the tidal volume also increases.

Alveolar Ventilation: It is also known as alveolar volume. It is the amount of air that enters the alveoli in one minute. Alveolar ventilation also increases with the increase in the vital volume due to exercise. This is because oxygen demand increases during exercise.

Anatomical Dead Space: It refers to the air that is directed towards the alveoli but does not participate in the gaseous exchange It decreases during exercise due to increase in ventilation.

Explanation:

For example, your mass on Earth will be the same as your mass on planet Mars. Your weight however, will change depending on the force of gravity exerted on you.
