Abiotic factors include all the non living things present in the environment. Logs were part of a living tree and so it cannot be considered as an abiotic factor. Although the log is dead now, but it was part of a living thing before. I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.

Cells undergo differentiation during embryonic development. An individual skin cell develops differently from a muscle cell beca

Anni [7]

An individual skin cell develops differently from a muscle cell because the cells express different genes.
All the given cells present in the body, be it skin or muscle cells have the same DNA and the same set of genes. However, these cells are able to develop differently from each other due to the differential expression of their genes.
Differential expression of genes means that the different cells which perform different function although have the same set of genes, express different genes at different times and thus, look and function differently.
Skin and muscles cells also express a different set of genes and thus they develop differently from each other.

Which of the fallowing describes the difference between nitrogen-14 and nitrogen-15

Tasya [4]

Nitrogen-14 has a mass number of 14 which means that it has a total of 14 protons and neutrons. When you subtract the atomic number of nitrogen from the mass number of 14 you get the number of neutrons (14-7), which gives you 7 neutrons. Now for nitrogen-15, you have a different mass number which means there is a different amount of neutrons (15-7), 8 neutrons. So the difference is the mass numbers and the number of neutrons (the number of protons remains the same however). When there are two versions of the same element, and they have the same number of protons, but different number of neutrons and different mass numbers, they are called isotopes. Hope this helped :)

How are pain receptors distributed in the skin?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

Free nerve endings — neurons originating in the spinal cord, entering and remaining on the skin — transmit temperature and pain information from its base on the epidermis. The dermis hair receptors that are wrapped around growing follicle are sensitive to the pressure produced by the curing of the scalp.
