What's the largest muscle in your body?

Biology
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
3 0
The gluteus maximus is the largest muscle in the human body. It is large and powerful because it has the job of keeping the trunk of the body in an erect posture. It is the chief antigravity muscle that aids in walking up stairs.

Select all that apply. Which descriptions, plants, and animals are characteristic of the rainforest biome? very high humidity vi
Lyrx [107]
The answers are:

- very high humidity
- vines
- palms
- highest species diversity 
- gorillas 

Rainforests have very high humidity because it rains throughout the whole year and is constant summer, so the precipitation and high temperature contribute to very high humidity.
The rainforests have the highest species diversity of any biome, both animals, and plants, including plants like the vines that crawl on the other trees and the palms, as well as animals like the gorilla in Africa, in the Congo basin.

Dr. Kettlewelll predicted that clean forests would have _____________ colored moths, and polluted forests would have _________ c
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Kettlewell thought that if natural selection caused the change in the moth population, the following must be true: Heavily polluted forests will have mostly dark peppered moths. Clean forests will have mostly light peppered moths. Dark moths resting on light trees are more likely than light moths to be eaten by birds.

To what extent can very large earthquakes be predicted?
Ray Of Light [21]
Scientists have tried lots of different ways of predicting earthquakes, but none have been successful. They have a pretty good idea of where an earthquake is most likely to hit, but they still can't tell exactly when it will happen.

How many distinct stages must occur between the point when light first encounters chlorophyll and the point at which
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

<u>Three.</u>

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water.  This occurs in distinct steps: 1) light fixation,  2) electron transport and NADPH production 3)  ATP generation, then 4) carbon fixation and carbohydrate production.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. As oxygen is emitted, energy in the form of glucose molecules is created from light, water, and carbon dioxide. It happens in several complicated stages, photosynthesis is a speed-limited process, depending on several factors including concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature and light intensity; energy is extracted from photons, i.e. light particles, and water is used as a reduction agent. It occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules live like chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis occurs in several complex steps and is a reaction of a small duration, depending on several fa factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

  • Water (H2O) divided into H+ and OH-by light during photolysis serves as a source of oxygen along with acting as a reduction agent; it reduces the NADP molecule to NADPH by supplying H+ ions and generates molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
  • This happens in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules reside like chlorophyll.
  • Later, NADP and NADPH are used in dark reactions during the Calvin cycle, where monosaccharides or sugars such as glucose are produced after several molecules have been modified. These store energy in their bonds which in the mitochondria can be released in respiration.
