How does paraffin move up the wick

Biology
2 answers:
aleksklad [387]2 years ago

Answer:

The wick absorbs the liquid wax and pulls it upward. The heat of the flame vaporizes the wax, and it is the wax vapor that burns. ... It continues to form as long as the wick is hot enough to vaporize paraffin. If you touch a lit match to the stream, a flame will run down it and re-light the wick.

Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine. True or False
mariarad [96]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Enkephalins and endorphins are endogenous peptides while morphine is an exogenous peptide.

Enkephalins and endorphins are powerful analgesics 18 to 500 times more than morphine. Hence, morphine is less analgesic than enkephalins and endorphins.

Enkephalins and endorphins act on the  mu, kappa , delta receptors and morphine also acts on the same receptors. All of them has same effects on the body.

Hence, Enkephalins and endorphins are peptides that act like morphine.

For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, what is the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between
AleksandrR [38]

Answer: For three traits inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern, the probability of an offspring in a trihybrid cross between parents heterozygous for all three traits to be recessive at exactly two of the three loci is 23/64.

Explanation: Let A, B and C represent the dominant alleles and a, b and c represent the recessive alleles. The genotype of each of the parent will be AaBbCc since it has been said to be heterozygous for all the three traits. There are eight (8) possible different types of gametes from each of the genotype. This can be calculated using 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci.

The number of heterozygous loci in the genotype AaBbCc is three (3). 2^3 = 8. The gametes are;

ABC

ABc

AbC

Abc

aBC

aBc

abC and

abc.

Therefore, sixty-four possible offsprings are expected from the cross AaBbCc x AaBbCc.

Out of these offsprings, twenty-three (23) are expected to be heterozygous at two loci as boldly shown in the attached image.

What is true of saturated fatty acids?
anzhelika [568]

<u>Answer:</u>  They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

<em>Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

A fatty acid that doesn’t contain any double bond between carbons in their molecular structure is known as saturated fatty acid. They are also incapable of absorbing hydrogen in their molecular structure thus the name.

Saturated fatty acids are generally found in animal fats like butter, milk and dairy products. Because of the higher melting point of those fatty acids, they are generally found in solid state at reem temperature.

Microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments make up the _____, which lies beneath the plasma membrane and provides
siniylev [52]
The correct answer to the question above is cytoskeleton. Microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments make up the cytoskeleton, which lies beneath the plasma membrane and provides support, movement, and shape for the cell. These structures definitely form cytoskeleton for the support and structure.
