A general lack of nutrition and wasting occurring in the course of a chronic disease is known as CACHEXIA.
Patients suffering from chronic diseases often have low appetite which may it difficult for them to eat the quantity of food that their body systems need, the body has to make up for this lack by using the storage of fat they already have in their bodies. This leads to emaciated look and greatly reduced body weight.

What is the name of the process by which the cytoplasm divides in two?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Cytokinesis

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division, it is the method employed in duplicating themselves. The division of cells involves two major processes viz; karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

Karyokinensis involves the division of the genetic material (DNA) in the nucleus. The chromosomes are initially separated into opposite poles/ends inside the cell. After which the cytoplasm of the whole cell then separates resulting in two daughter cells each having its own genetic material. This process is called CYTOKINESIS.

Although CYTOKINESIS occurs in all eukarotes and prokaryotes, the way it occurs in the eukaryotic plant and animal cells differ in the sense that, in animals, it occurs with the formation of a cleavage furrow as a result of pinching inward of the cell membrane until the two daughter cells form while in plants, a cell plate is formed at the cell's centre and a new membrabe and cell wall is formed around each cell plate.

Which of these would most likely happen if Earth stops revolving around the sun but continues rotating on its axis
Otrada [13]
Supposably this is actually happening in the next few hundred million years is about zero. But we can still speculate on what would happen anyway. 

At the equator earth is rotating at a speed of 1050 miles per hour. If our planet suddenly stops rotating, the atmosphere would still be in the motion at that speed.The atmosphere would be moving so fast it would literally sweep the land masses clear anything not anchored to bedrock, this would mean rocks, soil, trees, people and animals. All would be swept up into the atmosphere.
