What provides information about the body position with respect to gravity?​

Biology

Answer:

Centre of Gravity

The centre of gravity (COG) of the human body is a hypothetical point around which the force of gravity appears to act. It is point at which the combined mass of the body appears to be concentrated[1]. Because it is a hypothetical point, the COG need not lie within the physical bounds of an object or person. One subjective way (there are objective measures) to approximate the COG of an object is to visualise it balancing on one finger.

Centre of Gravity in the Human Body

In the anatomical position, the COG lies approximately anterior to the second sacral vertebra. However, since human beings do not remain fixed in the anatomical position, the precise location of the COG changes constantly with every new position of the body and limbs. The bodily proportions of the individual will also affect the location of the COG.

In the atom, which particles are in constant motion around the nucleus?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

According to the modern atomic theory, atoms are made-up of smaller subatomic particles in the nucleus. The nucleus contains two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons. The protons have a positively electrical charge and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons have a negative electrical charge and are able to move around the nucleus. An atom usually contains an equal number of positively charged protons and negatively charged electrons. This makes the atom itself electrically neutral. The electrons exist at different energy levels, called shells, around the nucleus where they revolve freely in a constant motion.

1.<br> Describe two advantages of genetic engineering.
Novay_Z [31]
One advantage of genetic engineering is the production of valuable proteins: recombinant DNA made possible the use of bacteria to produce proteins of medical importance such as genetically engineered human insulin which is of great importance.
Another advantage is the production of vaccines. Vaccines produced by genetic engineering offer an advantage that the microbial strains from which proteins are extracted do not contain complete viruses and thus there is no risk of accidental inoculation with live virus.
