How does the state of plasma compare to the other states of matter?

Plasma even though considered to be among the 4 fundamental phases of matter has signif different properties from the other three phases (solid, liquid and gas).
Unlike the other three, plasma doesn't naturally exist on the Earth under normal surface conditions, and can only be made under artificial conditions from neutral gases.
Plasma in simple words is a collection of ionized particles. An ionized gas is plasma. It's a collection of electrons with positively charged gaseous ions.
It is associated with the interior of the sun and other stars.
One another marked difference is that unlike the common solid-liquid-gas phase transitions, phase transitions with plasma do not take only by varying pressure and temperature.
Plasma is generated by ionizing a gas using a strong electromagnetic field and/or heating the gas to fantastically high temperatures (so high that it could melt any ordinary container; for this reason magnetic fields are used to confine hot plasma). Hope this helped :)

The synapse is typically located between the _____ of the first (sending) neuron and the _____ of the second (receiving) neuron.
uysha [10]

Answer:

axon; dendrite

Explanation:

A neuron has three main parts. These are axons, dendrites, and a cell body. Synapse is the site of communication between two neurons. The first neuron of a synapse is called the presynaptic neuron (sending neuron) while the second one is called the postsynaptic neuron (receiving). The axon of the presynaptic neuron and the dendrites of the postsynaptic neuron communicate with each other at the synapse as the axon of the first neuron delivers the nerve impulse away from the cell body.

Dendrites function as the receiving or input portions of a neuron. The plasma membranes of dendrites have numerous receptor sites for binding chemical messengers from the presynaptic neuron.

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Fermentation

Explanation:

Fermentation is the process whereby carbohydrates are converted to acohol or acid by the activities of some enzymes. During the process of fermentation, carbon dioxide is produced and it is found as tiny pockets of air inside the bread dough. This make it to rise. The alcohol produced evaporates later during the bread making process.

The principal microtubule-organizing center in animal cells is the ____________. A. centrosome. B. centromere. C. kinetochore. D
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A. centrosome

Explanation:

  • The centrosome is known as the main microtubule-organizing center in the animal cells. 
  • The centrosome constitutes of two centrioles and is surrounded by the pericentriolar material which is nothing but a structured matrix of proteins. 
  • It is the center through which the microtubules emerge.
  • In animal cells, the centrosome is associated with the formation of spindle fibres.
