The correct answer is "A. carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen".



Scientists believe that out of the 116 known elements, only 25 are used by mammals (and therefore by humans). Out of the 25 elements that are believed by scientists to support human life, only four of these elements - carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen - make up about 96% of the human body and are found in the basic structure of all biochemical molecules within the human body. Because of this, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are considered "the four essential elements" supporting human life. However, it is also important to keep in mind that although many of the other 25 elements present in the human body are required in only small amounts, they play an important role in keeping the body functioning correctly, as well.

The difficulty of reading under dim light conditions can be explained by _____
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

the fact that rod functioning predominates during dark adaptation, therefore poor acuity

Explanation:

  • Rods and cones are the photoreceptor cells present in the eye that perform the function of converting the light received into signals that stimulate the biological processes.
  • Out of the rods and cones, the rods are more sensitive and they are so sensitive that they can be activated even under low light conditions.
  • However the cones can be stimulated only under bright light conditions, but the visual acuity is higher for the cones as compared to the rods.
  • <em>Therefore under conditions of dim light, the rods are activated and hence it results in a poor visual acuity and a person experiences difficulty in reading. </em>

Scientists can use mutants to study metabolic pathways. These organisms have a mutation in a gene encoding a metabolic pathway e
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

Yeasts convert glycerol and sugars into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) through independent pathways. Then, G3P forms pyruvate and, in some circumstances, pyruvate is converted in ethanol, which can be used as energy sources. If the mutation affects any reaction before G3P formation, it will only affect yeast growing either on sugar or pyruvate but not both.

Pyruvate kinase is the only enzyme on the list acting after G3P is formed and before pyruvate is formed. All other options are enzymes acting only in the formation of G3P from sugars. Meaning that only pyruvate kinase mutants will lack the ability to grow on both sugars and glycerol.

Explain how the circulatory system is able to transport the blood under high pressure from the heart to the rest of the body
expeople1 [14]

Transport of blood under high pressure is done through the concerted efforts of the heart and arteries.

<h2>The circulatory system is the network of the heart, arteries, veins, and capillaries responsible for the movement of blood around the body.</h2>

Transporting blood under high pressure can be explained in the following steps:

  1. Contraction of the heart ventricles creates blood under high pressure
  2. High pressured blood is removed from the heart through the arteries. In addition, the arteries are able to contract and expand, thus are elastic
  3. The lumen of the arteries is narrow thus helping in maintaining high pressure

As a result of the above, the high pressure of blood is maintained and transported to the extremities of the body.
