Answer:

<h2>Ear has three main parts;   outer most part is called outer ear, middle one is as middle ear and innermost as inner ear. </h2>

Explanation:

1. Outer Ear: Pinna (the outer, funnel-like part), Ear Canal (Conducts sound vibrations from the pinna to the tympanic membrane), and Tympanic Membrane.

2. Middle Ear:  Ossicles (Tiny bones that amplify sound waves), Malleus, Tensor Tympani, Incus (Connects the Malleus to the Stapes; receives vibrations from the Malleus and looks like an anvil), Stapes, Stapedius, Oval Window (Receives vibrations from the Stapes and is the flexible opening to the cochlea).

3. Inner Ear:  Cochlea (The main structure in the inner ear; tiny coiled structure); Tympanic Canal, Vestibular Canal, Basilar Membrane, Cochlear Partition , Round Window  Organ of Corti.

.

Route of Sounds: External environment →  Collected by the pinna → Through the ear canal →  Vibrates the Tympanic Membrane →  Vibrates the ossicles →  Vibrates the Oval Window →  Sends “Traveling Waves” through the Vestibular Canal →  Pressure released by Round Window if necessary →  Inner and Outer hair cells transduce the vibrations.

What would have to be done to a plant oil to transform it to a trans fat in simple molecule terms?
ivann1987 [24]
<span>In order to understand trans fat, you must understand the prefix. Trans and cis are prefixes that mean opposite and same side, just like transgender people identify with a gender that is not in line with their biological sex, and cisgender people identify with their biological gender. Cis fat describes the fatty acids attached to the glycerol in triglycerides. Cis fats have hydrogen attached to the carbon chain just like trans fats, but at one, two, or more places on the chain, two hydrogen atoms attached on the same side, and the fatty acid chain gets bent, making the collection of fats less dense and therefore healthier for you and I. Trans fats have hydrogen atoms on alternating sides all the way down the chain, making them denser and solid at room temperature. In order to turn a plant oil (cis fat) into trans fat, the cis fat has to be blasted with hydrogen in order to turn the fatty acid chains from cis to trans. This adds more energy to the fats while also making them denser, which turns olive oil into a butter-like substance.</span><span />

¿Qué moléculas conforman las cadenas de nucleótidos?
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

English:

RNA and DNA are polymers made up of long chains of nucleotides . A nucleotide is made up of a sugar molecule (ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen base. The bases used in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).

Spanish:

El ARN y el ADN son polímeros formados por largas cadenas de nucleótidos. Un nucleótido está formado por una molécula de azúcar (ribosa en el ARN o desoxirribosa en el ADN) unido a un grupo fosfato y una base nitrogenada. Las bases utilizadas en el ADN son la adenina (A), citosina (C), guanina (G) y timina (T).

What di eukaryotes most likely evolve from?
otez555 [7]

Answer:

Prokaryotes.

Explanation:

Most of the Eukaryotes most likely to evolve from the Prokaryotes.  Prokaryotes are basically unicellular organisms that lack internal membrane-bound structures. So, they do not carry nucleus and generally have a single chromosome. Most of them have a cell wall outside  the plasma membrane, which is a thin layer of lipid that completely surrounds the cell.  Prokaryotes reproduce by binary fission method.
