Anthropology is a branch of social science that deals with the study of human societies, culture and their development. It has five major fields: physical (biological) anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology, applied anthropology and archeology.

Physical anthropology is an exploration of the origin, differences, diversities and distributions of humans. It has the following sub-branches:

1. Primatology or the study of primates, since man belongs to the order of primates in the Animal Kingdom. 

2. Ethnology or the study of human diversities based from the different races which attempts to explain the nature, formation and differentiation of the racial groups.

3. Human biology that deals with the concrete biological principles and concepts of man.

4. Palaeoanthropology which deals with the documentation of biological history of mankind.

5. Human genetics which deals with the inherited characters and genetic relations between parents and offsprings.

6. Nutritional anthropology which attempts to discuss the matter related with the nutritional perspective of human beings in relation to their subsequent growth and development.

7. Medical anthropology that study the different patterns of diseases and their impact on human societies.

8. Physiological anthropology is the study of the internal organs of the human body to understand their bio-chemical composition.

9. Forensic anthropology concerns the study of the skeletal structure of hominids and non-hominids to understand the similarities and differences in their body parts.

10. Dental anthropology deals with the study of teeth and its patterns to determine the food habit and human evolution, growth, body morphology and genetic features.

11. Anthropometry that studies the gradual human development through eveolution.

12. Ergonomy or the study of the correlation between the static body dimension, which is important to understand why many groups of people have different body sizes.

13. Demography or the science of population, which deals with fertility and mortality.

14. Ethology or the science of animal behavior.

Based on these sub-branches it shows that physical anthropology also concerns the present-day evolutionary development and biological variations.Thus, the answer is false.

Trees play an important role in the carbon cycle because
MariettaO [177]
Forests exchange large amounts of CO2 and other gases with the atmosphere and store carbon, in various forms, in trees and soils. ... Much of the CO2 in the air above a forest is taken in by trees through the process of photosynthesis,where it becomes one of the building blocks fortree growth or energy for life.

Which of the following is true of kinesin?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

C. Kinesin hydrolyzes ATP.

Explanation:

The central force-generating element that the two types of motor proteins (Kinesin and Myosin) have in common includes the site of ATP binding and the machinery necessary to translate ATP hydrolysis into an allosteric conformational change. Kinesin must use the energy derived from ATP binding and hydrolysis to force a large movement in part of the protein molecule. When kinesin forms a rigor-like tight association with the head location of the microtubule, the ATP is bound to the kinesin, and it is hydrolysis of ATP that promotes release of the motor from its track. Thus, myosins can typically drive filament sliding much more rapidly than kinesins, even though they hydrolyze ATP at comparable rates and take molecular steps of comparable length.
