Jake broke his fibula and had to wear a cast for six weeks. The muscles attaching to this bone atrophied (shrank) during this ti

me. What muscle function would Jake be unable to perform well as a result?
Biology

likoan [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the functions of the muscle is the storage of amino acids which can be used for energy production when demands are high or for protein synthesis. But during muscle atrophy, this function becomes reduced which could lead to the particularly muscle been unable to stretch or contract due to weakness, it could also lead to the imbalance between protein synthesis and degradation.

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING A SPECTROPHOTOMETER :

1 . By allowing the lamps and electronics to warm up

2.By cleaning up any spills inside the cuvette compartment

3.By carrying out the set-up procedure in the correct order

4.By ensuring that %T or transmission is used as appropriate

5.By closing the door to the cuvette compartment before reading the result

6.By performing calibration checks after set up

7.By wiping fingerprints and spilt sample off the outside of the cuvette before measuring

8.By using the correct wavelength

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING A FRAME PHOTOMETER:

1. Do not move or Carry the unit when in use or connected to the mains electricity supply

2. There should be sufficient time for the chimney to cool before handling

3. Do not use acetylene with the flame photometer

4. Over adjustment of the fuel valve will cause excess flame

Do not position the product so that it is difficult to disconnect from the mains supply

5. Do not cover the chimney whilst in use.

6. Do not block or obstruct ventilation slots /airways

7. Do not operate or handle any part of the product with wet hands

Why does ice cause water vapor to condense?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Once water vapor is in the atmosphere, low temperatures cause the vapor to either condense into a liquid or undergo deposition to form ice crystals. Water droplets can form clouds from the atmosphere.

Which would be a consequence of the removal of predators from a population such as the Trinidadian guppy population?a .The nitro
natulia [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Guppy color patterns would change; guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring; the nitrogen excretion rate would increase and the rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase".

Explanation:

The Trinidadian guppy is a species of fish with the scientific name <em>Poecilia reticulata</em>. Just like almost all species, its population is regulated for multiple factors, one of them being the presence of predators. The removal of Trinidadian guppy predators would result in multiple consequences:

- Guppy color patterns would change. The fish have a complex coloration determined largely by predation avoidance.

- Guppies would produce fewer but larger offspring. This adaptation has been proved in an experiment at which the fish was introduced one a low predation environment. The report proved that evolution can take place in less than 10 years.

- The nitrogen excretion rate would increase. It has been reported that predation reduce Trinidadian guppy nitrogen excretion by 40%. Removing the predators will case the nitrogen excretion rate to increase due to an increase in the fish food intake.

- The rate of growth of primary producers such as algae would increase. This is an effect of the increase of nitrogen excretion rate, which benefits algae population to growth.
