Answer:
1. While Biology is the study of living things, living things themselves are made up of chemical composition. Our survival is dependant on the reactions taking place inside and outside the body. Hence, to understand living things, biologists needs a good understanding of chemistry.
2. 170 pm is the radius of a Carbon Atom.
3. The vast majority of the mass of an atom is concentrated in its nucleus
4. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. This is a tiny, dense region at the center of the atom. Protons have a positive electrical charge of one (+1) and a mass of 1 atomic mass unit (amu), which is about 1.67×10−27 kilograms.
5. Neutrons are located with protons in the nucleus; they too exchange mesons with protons and with each other to form the strong nuclear force, but they do not have to overcome the repulsion from Coulomb forces since neutrons are not charged.
Answer:
Competition for food happens when there is a limited amount of food resources available. The members of a species that eat that food who are best adapted to access the food are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes to the next generation.
For example, we have a bird feeder with a narrow opening for food. The small-headed birds can reach the food, the bigger-headed birds cannot. If this was the only food source for this area, then over time, there would be more smaller-headed birds than large-headed birds, due to the competition for food and success/lack of success.
Answer:
e.) If exposure to cowpox gives immunity to smallpox in milkmaids, then milkmaids have a natural immunity and their blood should be used to develop a smallpox vaccine.
Explanation:
- Milkmaids who suffered from cowpox did not suffer from smallpox i.e. they were immune to the disease.
- If milkmaids did not suffer from smallpox then there must be some element of immunity that they received once they had recovered from cowpox, this would likely be found in their blood as antibodies.
To inhibit cell division, such as those meant to treat cancer.
