The measure of randomness or disorder in a system is known as

Biology
1 answer:
Oduvanchick [21]2 years ago
4 0

The right option is; entropy

The measure of randomness or disorder in a system is known as entropy

Entropy is the property of the system and it is also often regarded to be the measure of molecular randomness or disorder in a closed but changing system. The higher the entropy of a system, the higher the disorder and the higher the unavailability of the system's energy to perform useful work.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.

1. How does our ecological footprint affect each of the spheres on Earth?
Viefleur [7K]
Lithosphere (or geosphere) describes all the rocks, minerals and molten magma found on or in the Earth

The hydrosphere describes all the water on Earth – including liquid water (oceans, etc.) and vapour (precipitation)

The atmosphere describes the layer of gases surrounding the Earth and is divided into sections (stratosphere, etc.)

The biosphere is composed of all the living organisms on the planet (including plants, animals, bacteria, etc.)


The four spheres are interconnected, so human impact on one sphere will potentially effect other spheres

The release of plastic pollution into the oceans (hydrosphere) will impact on marine life (biosphere)

The production and release of CFCs into the atmosphere will effect the impact of UV radiation on the biosphere

Imagine that scientists have discovered an industrial pollutant that modifies the structure of a cell cycle checkpoint protein s
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Carcinogenic

Explanation:

A carcinogenic substance is able to modify or damage the genome in a way which promotes the formation of cancerous cells. Cell cycle checkpoint proteins are very crucial for the progression of normal cell cycle. They check for any anomaly in their designated step and halt the process if it is detected. Repair mechanism is activated and cell cycle does not progress till the damage has been repaired.

Here, the pollutant alters the structure of these proteins such that they lose their function. They are not be able to stop cell cycle from progressing even if there is some damage in the genome. The cell divides and gives rise to more damaged cells. Eventually these cells lose their normal function and just keep dividing due to which their division rate becomes double of the normal rate. It can ultimately give rise to cancer which is why the chemical is carcinogenic.
