Marina86 [1]3 years ago
6 0

Insulin is needed to move blood sugar (glucose) into cells. Inside the cells, glucose is stored and later used for energy. With type 1 diabetes, beta cells produce little or no insulin.

Propane is burned to provide the heat in many cooking grills. The chemical
tangare [24]

Answer: it's 3CO2+4H2O+Energy

Propane is a linear alkane of formula C3H8. It is mainly used as fuel (this is the main component of liquefied petroleum gas) in cooking and chemical industry reactions.

The reaction of its complete combustion by the presence of oxygen is:

C3H8 (gas) + 5O2  ==> 3 CO2 + 4H2O + energy (2220⋅kJ)

As we can see, propane can release carbon dioxide and water as every combustion reaction, and a lot of energy in the form of heat.

A man and his wife both have normal color vision, however their daughter is positive for red-green color blindness. The man sues
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Man's genotype: XᴮY

Woman's genotype: XᴮXᵇ

Daughter's genotype: XᵇXᵇ

The daughter is not the man's child.

Explanation:

Color blindness is a sex-linked trait caused by a recessive allele located in the X chromosome (Xᴮ=normal vision; Xᵇ-color blind).

Women have two X chromosomes, while men have an X and a Y chromosomes. For that reason, women need to have two recessive alleles to be color blind, while men only need one Xᵇ to be colorblind.

Since the man has normal color vision, his genotype would be XᴮY.

If the daughter is her father's, she would have inherited his dominant Xᴮ allele, so she would have normal vision. However, she is colorblind, so her genotype is XᵇXᵇ. She is not the man's daughter.

The mother also has normal color vision, but her daughter inherited a recessive allele from her, so her genotype is heterozygous XᴮXᵇ.

kramer

When a person has linked a neutral stimulus and an unconditioned stimulus so that now the neutral stimulus triggers the conditioned response, <u>acquisition</u> has occurred.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A trigger that in the beginning causes no specific answer other than attention concentration is understood as "a neutral stimulus". In operant conditioning the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus when used in combined way with an unconditioned stimulus.

Now let us say, for instance, you need to take your child to the pediatrician for a shot. The pediatrist hits a buzzer before the shot to call her nurse to come in and help her conduct the vaccine. Here the buzzer's noise is the neutral stimulus, as it generates no reaction from the infant, but the child knows that.

Why have improvements in microscopes over time resulted in revisions in the cell theory? They have revealed new information abou
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer;

They have revealed new information about cell structure and processes.

Explanation;

-The Cell Theory states that, All living things are made up of cells, Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and that new cells are produced from existing cells.

-Most microscopes use lenses to magnify the image of an object by focusing light or electrons.

-The Invention of the Microscope helped the development of the cell theory because it allowed the scientists to actually discover that everything was made up of cells, and what cells do to come up with that theory. If the scientists did not see that cells existed, they could not have observed the cells easily and they would not be able to construct the cell theory.
