Answer:

Secondary lung cancer is when a cancer that started somewhere else in the body has spread to the lung.

Where a cancer starts is called the primary cancer. This is when some cancer cells break away from the primary cancer. They can move through the bloodstream or lymph system to another part of the body to form a new tumor. This is called a secondary cancer. Secondary cancers are also called metastases  The secondary cancer is made of the same type of cells as the primary cancer.

If your cancer started in your bowel and has spread to your lung, the areas of cancer in the lung are made up of bowel cancer cells.  

This is different from having a cancer that first started in the lung (a primary lung cancer). In that case, the cancer is made up of lung cells that have become cancerous.

In the polymerization of DNA, a phosphodiester bond is formed between a phosphate group of the nucleotide being added and which
Elenna [48]

Answer:

C. 3´OH

Explanation:

DNA is a large molecule built up by linking together smaller molecules called nucleotides.

A nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose in the case of DNA) and a nitrogen base.

The <em>nucleotides are linked together by the binding of</em> the phosphate group on carbon 5 in the nucleotide that is added, and the oxygen of the hydroxyl group (-OH) on carbon 3 of the last nucleotide of the DNA chain.

These bonds are called phosphodiester bonds and their formation releases a molecule of H2O.

This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme, DNA polymerase, that requires a free 3´ hydroxyl group (3´ OH in the growing chain) to add the new nucleotide.

Which of the following is a possible source of water pollution?
mestny [16]

Answer;

-All of the above

-Storms, factories, and farms

Explanation;

-There are many causes for water pollution but two general categories exist: direct and indirect contaminant sources.

-Direct sources include effluent outfalls from factories, refineries, waste treatment plants etc.. that emit fluids of varying quality directly into urban water supplies.

-Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils/groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rain water. Soils and ground waters contain the residue of human agricultural practices (fertilizers, pesticides, etc..) and improperly disposed of industrial wastes.

Which of the following occurs when a stimulus depolarizes a neuron's membrane to a membrane potential below the voltage threshol
Finger [1]

<u>Answer</u>: D. The inside of the cell becomes less negative in charge relative to the outside of the cell.

During depolarization, the membrane potential moves towards zero. This process is initiated by Na^{+} that enters the cell due to the polarization of the cell. Outside of the cell, the concentration of the positively charged sodium ion is higher by a factor of 10, compared with the interior of the cell. Due to the presence of the sodium cation in increasing amounts inside the cell, the relative voltage will change immediately. This will result in an interior of the cell that is less negative in charge relative to the outside of the cell.
