Answer:

1. antibodies

2. hormones

3. kidney stones

4. transport proteins

5. protein-energy malnutrition

6. coenzymes

7. buffer

8. kwashiorkor

Explanation:

1. ANTIBODIES are proteins that aid the immune system in its fight against bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substance by binding to them and helping to inactivate or destroy them.

2. HORMONES are substances made of protein or lipid released into the bloodstream in order to direct physiological activity in the body.

3. A high-protein diet can increase the risk of KIDNEY STONES because the body will have an increased acid level.

4. TRANSPORT PROTEINS carry many substances through the blood or allow movement of substances in and out of cells.

5. PROTEIN-ENERGY MALNUTRITION is the phenomenon used to describe an inadequate intake of proteins and/or calorie content.

6. COENZYMES are molecules that play vital roles in the function of an enzyme. Coenzyme in form of vitamins are utilized by enzymes to catalyze chemical reactions.

7. Proteins can act like BUFFER (a substance with a stable pH) in order to regulate the acid-base balance in the body.

8. KWASHIORKOR is a malnutrition deficiency that result from the insufficiency of dietary protein, resulting in swelling in the feet, legs, and stomach among other symptoms.

To be considered part of the same population organisms must have a reasonable chance of mating with each other. Are two wild ros

IRISSAK [1]

Two questions have been asked, and responded to

Answer:

For question 1: The statement is true

For question 2: Yes, the two wild roses are of the same population

Explanation:

Population is simply the total number of organisms of the same species LIVING and BREEDING together in a given area.

I) To be considered part of the same population, two of more organisms MUST BE able to mate i.e produce gametes that are viable enough to fuse together and create new offsprings.

2) Yes! Two wild roses separated by a wide road belong to the SAME POPULATION because

- it is still a given area or habitat

- transfer of pollen grains by agents such as wind or insects is possible, thus breeding still occurs.

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.

Pepsi [2]

Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.

(01.02 MC) Which of the following questions would best help you evaluate claims about the healing properties of an expensive her

slega [8]

The correct option is this: HAS THE CLAIM BEEN TESTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY MORE THAN ONE SCIENTISTS.
For a claim to be accepted has been valid in the science world, it must have been tested several times by many scientists who obtain the same results. Having a uniform result about a phenomenon is usually considered an important factor when examining the validity of a claim.

how do engineers use models and earthquakes simulations to test designs for earthquake resistant buildings and structure

Oksana_A [137]

In Earthquake testing, the engineers are using the world largest shake tables to test new construction methods for buildings in the areas prone to the earthquake.

<u>Explanation:</u>

They believed that they have the devised a system to build the taller wood-frame buildings that can still safely withstand even very powerful tremors. To withstand the collapse, the buildings need to redistribute the forces that travel through them during a seismic event.

Shear wells, cross braces, diaphragm, and moment-resisting frame are the central reinforcing the building. Shear wells are the technology of the useful building. That helpful to transfer the earthquake forces.
