The hydrophobic effect is caused by nonpolar molecules clumping together. Large macromolecules can have hydrophobic sections, which will fold the molecule so they can be close to each other, away from water. Many amino acids in proteins are hydrophobic, helping the proteins obtain their complicated shapes. The hydrophobic effect extends to organisms, as many hydrophobic molecules on the surface of an organisms help them regulate the amount of water and nutrients in their systems.
Explanation: Skeletal muscle, attached to bones, is responsible for skeletal movements. The peripheral portion of the central nervous system (CNS) controls the skeletal muscles. Thus, these muscles are under conscious, or voluntary, control. The basic unit is the muscle fiber with many nuclei. These muscle fibers are striated (having transverse streaks) and each acts independently of neighboring muscle fibers.
A logarithmic scale is a nonlinear scale used when there is a large range of quantities
The degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the card density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity.
The classification of living things makes it easier for scientists to answer many important questions.
Examples:
-How many known species are there?
-What are the defining characteristics of each species?
-What are the relationships between these species?
