4. What boundaries destroy oceanic crust?

1 answer:

7 0

At convergent plate boundaries, oceanic crust is often forced down into the mantle where it begins to melt. Magma rises into and through the other plate, solidifying into granite, the rock that makes up the continents. Thus, at convergent boundaries, continental crust is created and oceanic crust is destroyed.

Circulating through the body, antidiuretic hormone arrives at the ____________ of the kidney.

natka813 [3]

The antidiuretic hormone, otherwise called vasopressin is made in the region of the brain called hypothalamus. The cells of the hypothalamus excrete this hormone through the connection they have with the pituitary gland. From this gland, the hormone is released into the bloodstream and eventually comes down to kidneys, affecting the kidney tubules, making them conserve water by transporting them back to the bloodstream.

Through which microscope were cells first observed?

poizon [28]

Compound microscope

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

In 1665, Robert Hooke used a compound microscope to observe cells. Hooke observes the cell walls of dead plants (in the form of cork) when they appear under a microscope. He named it the cell because it looked similar to a cellula or small room inhabited by monks.

Development of microscopy:

1590: Hans and Zacharias Janssen, as Dutch lens grinders, mounted two lenses in a tube to produce the first compound microscope.
1660: Robert Hooke published <em>Micrographia</em>, containing detailed observations of biological materials made with the best compound microscope.
1676: Anton van Leeuwenhoek was the first person to observe a live cell under a microscope, i.e., the algae Spirogyra.
1931: Ernst Ruska constructed the first electron microscope. With the invention of the electron microscope, many infectious agents smaller than bacteria could be seen.

Until now, we can see how important the use of microscopes, especially in microbiology, that is the study of microorganisms.

Complete the sentences to correctly describe steps in fatty acid synthesis. move the terms to the appropriate blanks. some terms

saw5 [17]

The synthesis of fatty acids starts with a preparatory step in which acetyl-CoA is mediated from mitochondria to the cytosol. However, it cannot pass through the membrane, so it is transported as citrate, which is cleaved to acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.

In the cytosol, acetyl CoA is transformed to malonyl CoA, that is, a three carbon compound. Fatty acid synthesis starts with the conduction of acetyl group from acetyl CoA to fatty acid synthase.

Two carbon groups, supplied to malonyl CoA, are supplemented to the developing acyl chain in a series of steps involving condensation, reduction, and dehydration reactions. Elongation of the fatty acid chain ceases at 16 carbon atoms, after seven cycles, as the free free fatty acid is discharged.
