1 answer:

7 0

There are two branches of the autonomic nervous system, namely the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous systems. Both of which regulates bodily functions involuntarily but in different manners. The parasympathetic system is the system primarily activated in "relaxed" states or "rest and digest" states. These include digestion, urination, slowing of heart rate, slowing of respiratory rate, etc. The sympathetic nervous system on the other hand is primarily activated by "flight or flight" response such as rage or fear. These include inhibition of digestion, increase in heart rate and respiratory rate, sweating, etc.

What happens when a cold front replaces a warm front

frozen [14]

Answer:

When a cold front overtakes a warm front, it creates what's called an occluded front that forces warm air above a frontal boundary of cooler air masses.

Explanation:

The presence of a cold front means that cold air is advancing and pushing underneath warmer air. This is because the cold air is ‘heavier,’ or denser, than the warm air. Cold air is thus replacing warm air at the surface.

Describe the genetic code and its relationship to polypeptides and proteins

konstantin123 [22]

The genetic code is directly related to polypeptides and proteins in the sense that genes are decoded to synthesize proteins.

What is the genetic code?

Genetic code is the set of rules by which the sequence of bases in DNA are translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The genetic code is unique for living organisms and is used to synthesize the proteins that is responsible for various activities in living organisms.

The genes in the genetic code are first transcribed into mRNA, which is then translated into proteins (polypeptides).

I) predict which of the liquids would cause the largest decrease in mass of potato stick

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride solution

Explanation:

The liquid that would cause the largest decrease in the mass of the potato stick would be the one with 1 mole per dm3 sodium chloride solution.

The water potential of a solution depends on the molarity of the solution, the higher the molarity, the lower the water potential and vice versa. Hence, a solution with higher molarity has the tendency to osmotically draw more water from the potato stick than a solution with lower molarity.

Therefore, the potato stick will have the largest decrease in mass in 1 mol per dm3 sodium chloride when compared to the 0.5 and 0.1 mole per dm3 solutions.
