Answer:

Telomerase is the enzyme responsible for maintenance of the length of telomeres by addition of guanine-rich repetitive sequences. Telomerase activity is exhibited in gametes and stem and tumor cells. In human somatic cells proliferation potential is strictly limited and senescence follows approximately 50-70 cell divisions.

Animals with photoreceptors have good vision. a. True b. False

jarptica [38.1K]

Photoreceptors are cells in the retina that begin the process of seeing. The retina is the back part of the eye that contains the cells that respond to light. These specialized cells are called photoreceptors. They absorb and convert light into electrical signals. These signals are sent to other cells in the retina and ultimately through the optic nerve to the brain where they are processed into the images we see. The answer is true. Animals with photoreceptors have good vision.

In the reaction ______ H2 + N2 ----> 2 NH3, what coefficient should be placed in front of H2 to balance the reaction?

schepotkina [342]

2NH3 is equivalent to N2 + H6 since the 2 at the beginning gets distributed to both atoms. Knowing this you can rewite the equation as

H2 + N2 = H6 + N2

The N2 can cancel out leaving

H2 = H6

You now have to ask ‘2 times what equals 6?’ The answer is obviously 3 at this point.

Answer: C. 3
