Answer:

This would be an example of technology.

Explanation:

Artificial limbs, or prostheses, are used to replace a missing body part which may have been lost due to trauma, disease or congenital defect. The type of prosthesis a person can use is dependent on the individual, including the cause of amputation or limb loss, and the location of the missing extremity. These come in all shapes and sizes, for whatever you need.

Have a nice day!

Answer:

A technology, since the actual prosthesis is a human creation that solves a problem. Science is nothing physical. It is the combination of laws and theories that explain our universe and helps us make decisions. We don't really invent science, we describe it.

Science is ideas. Technology is human creations.

Science generally underpins all new technology.

In your human leg prosthesis example science is crucial in choosing (or developing) suitable materials for construction of the prosthesis. The material must be relatively stable, not break down into toxic substances and have good durability. Knowledge of human Biology is also important if you want to start replacing human body parts.

Basically chemistry and biology are important in the prosthesis development. There is also probably physics regarding tensile strength requirements.

The actual end result of the human prosthesis is a technology which solves a problem of degraded human parts.

So to reiterate, it is a technology.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Heterotrophs are the organisms which cannot prepare their food on their own like autotrophs instead are dependent on other mode to obtain the organic substances from the environment. This method is common in animal and fungi groups.

Although both fungi and animals are heterotrophs their mode of heterotrophic is different as fungi obtain organic substance b secreting many digestive enzymes which digests the complex biomolecules and the fungi obtain the organic substances whereas the animals swallow or ingest the material and then digests it.

Why do most biologists believe that true commensalism does not exist?
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

the relationships are probably mutual or parasitic

Explanation:

The argument of most scientists when it comes to commensalism is that the likelihood of a relationship between two different organisms, where one of the organisms to be completely unaffected is low. They propose that their relationship, although not obvious, is more likely to be mutualistic or parasitic at best.

ivolga24 [154]

The answer is; D

Radioactive waste poses a serious challenge to the environment. Any leakage of the waste is risky because the radioactivity can flow up the food chain and it also takes time for it to decay and become less harmful. Therefore, its effect can be felt over many generations. Therefore, safe storage of radioactive waste is a challenge (and can be very expensive) and a deterrent for pursuing the potent energy source.

Fruit production in anthophytes develops from: a. a female reproductive structure b. a male reproductive structure c. both male
Fed [463]

Answer:

a. a female reproductive structure

Explanation:

Reproduction can be defined as a biological process which typically involves living organisms producing an offspring.

Basically, there are two (2) methods of reproduction and these are;

I. Sexual reproduction: it involves the combination of the genome (gamete) of a male and female living organism during fertilization.

II. Asexual reproduction: it involves the cloning of a living organism to produce an offspring because there is only a single parent.

Antophyte is the division name for flowering plants and they are considered to be the most successful of all the other division of plants in terms of reproduction.

Division Antophyta are classified into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Monocot: this group of flowering plants have a single cotyledon. Some examples of monocots are lilies, corns, grasses etc.

II. Dicot: this group of flowering plants have two cotyledon. Some examples of dicots are beans, peas, peanuts, etc.

Basically, fruit production in anthophytes develops from female reproductive structure known as the ovary. Once the ovary is fertilized by a sperm, they ripen into a fruit.
