The cytoskeleton is made up of protein filaments which are; actin filament, intermediate filament, and microtubule. The cytoskeleton plays a very important role in the intracellular transport and cellular division (mitosis and meiosis.)

The sole of a gecko's foot is covered with millions and millions of small, dry "hairs" that make direct contact with surfaces, a
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that depend on the distance between two particles. They are caused by correlations in the change in polarization between two nearby particles. To put it in other words, when a particle changes its polarization (becomes more positive on one end and more negative on the other), so does the adjacent particle, and the next one, and so on. This causes these particles to stick together weakly.

The tiny "hairs" increase the surface area of the gecko's feet in contact with the wall, which makes the bond stronger and allows it to support all of its weight.

Because experiments have shown that geckos stick well to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, we can assume there aren't any hydrogen bonds present.

Ionic bonds can't be present either because geckos wouldn't stick to electrically neutral surfaces, as these bonds require charged molecules.

In what way is sedimentary rock formation in nature like a sieve?
Anna11 [10]
<span>B. Rocks go through many stages during their formation</span><span>

Sedimentary rocks together with the igneous rocks and the metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks that existed on earth. It is formed or made accordingly into four major ways. First, it is formed by depositing weathered remains of "clastic sedimentary rocks" or other rocks. Second, is through accumulation and the consolidation of sediments, thirdly is by depositing the results of biogenic activity and lastly it is formed through precipitation from solution. Limestone, shale, chalk clay and others are best examples of sedimentary rocks. </span>

How does the environment affect the organism, and vice versa? what effects, good as well as bad, have humans had on the environm
TiliK225 [7]
In an ecosystem, two factors are being classified which are the abiotic and the biotic factors. Both of these factors play an important role in order to balance the ecosystem and maintain the harmony of the living things therein. The environment includes the abiotic factors which are the sunlight, weather, water, air, and all other factors which are not living but contribute to the growth and development of the living ones. For example, plants cannot live without water, sunlight and carbon dioxide. The effects that humans have on the environment is both good and bad. Humans also play an important role in maintaining the environment, and they also have the capability to endanger it.

You want to engineer a eukaryotic gene into bacterial colony and have it expressed. what must be included in addition to the cod
Igoryamba
A bacterial promoter sequence must be included. The coding exons control the actual production of the protein that the gene codes for; meanwhile, the promoter sequence serves to initiate transcription of the specific genes. Promoters are included upstream of the DNA molecule at the start site of the gene.
