Answer: if the upper leg muscles were damaged, (You would not be able to extend the leg straight).

Explanation:

The upper leg muscles, which can also be called the thigh, are made up of three sets of muscles which include:

--> the hamstring muscles: These are located at the BACK of the thigh. They are made up of three long muscles which includes the semimembranous muscle, the semitendinosus muscle, and the biceps femoris muscle.

--> the quadriceps muscles: They are located at the FRONT of the thigh. They consists of four individual muscles which includes the three vastus muscles and the rectus femoris.

--> the adductor muscles: They are located at the medial compartment of the thigh and is consist of the following muscles: gracilis, obturator externus, adductor brevis, adductor longus and adductor magnus.

The quadriceps, hamstrings and adductor muscles work together to straighten (extend) and bend (flex) the leg. Therefore when there is damage to the upper leg muscles, you would not be able to extend the leg straight.

What statement accurately compares sexual and asexual reproduction?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation and asexual reproduction does not.

5. Is the following sentence accurate?
hichkok12 [17]

The cell that provides life with chemical energy. Light energy is converted by photosynthesis into chemical energy that is stored in glucose, and this energy is then released during cellular respiration to create ATP.

<h3>What does the term "cellular respiration" mean?</h3>

While cells are aerobic respiration, oxygen may be present or not. But, because the cell seems to "respire" by consuming molecular oxygen (as an electron acceptor) and releasing carbon dioxide, the process is essentially known as "cellular respiration" (as an end product).

<h3>What happens during cellular respiration?</h3>

ATP is created during cellular respiration as a reaction product between glucose and oxygen. Water and carbon dioxide are released as by products. The three stages of aerobic cellular respiration are glycolysis, an anaerobic process, and the Krebs cycle.

What does the term electron orbital describe?An electron orbital describes the orbit of an electron around the nucleus.An electr
AlekseyPX

The correct answer is B. An electron orbital describes a three-dimensional space where an electron can be found 90% of the time.

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged particles found in atoms. These different from protons and neutrons are not located in the nucleus of the atom but orbit it. Additionally, electrons do not orbit the nucleus following a linear pattern but they have a wave-like behavior which means they move in a three-dimensional space or area known as electron orbital in which they can be found most of the time, this space of area is determined depending on energy, momentum, and other factors. Thus, an electron orbital is "a three-dimensional space where an electron can be found 90% of the time".

Meristematic cells called the _____ add width to the plant body.
bulgar [2K]

<span>vascular cambium
</span><span>

Apical Meristems are found in the tips of the roots and in the buds of the shoots. They supply cells for the plants to grow in length.

Apical Meristems are found in herbaceous plants, woody plants, grasses, and flowering plants.

In flowering plants, shoot apical meristem develops into an inflorescence meristem which produces the floral meristem. The floral meristem is responsible for the production of the sepals, petals, stamens, and carpels of the flower.
