What causes the light to refract as it passes from air to water?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a different refractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction

Hope this helps.

Researchers are studying the abnormal activity of kinases in relation to cancer. Theoretically, how might researchers use signal
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

I am pretty sure that the answer is A.

Explanation:

Protein kinases regulate the cell cycle by giving the "go-ahead" or "stop" signal at checkpoints in the cycle. A mutation/disruption in the protein kinases can result in it not doing its job properly. As a result, it can give the 'go-ahead' signal to all cells (mutated or not) to continue through the cell cycle. A distrupted kinase will infleunce the enviornment for a cancer cell as the cancer cell can continue to divide continuously.

I do not think the answer is D because G-couped receptirs are not involed in the regulation of the cell cycle. Additionally, I do not think the answer is C since the production of cAMP (a secondary messgenger amplifies transduction signals; this doesn't have anything to do with cancer?) Finally, between A and B I know that a direct result of cancer is due to a distruption in either protien kinases or  growth factors (not in the answer choices). Since one of the factors that  leads to cancer is present in answer choice A, I think that is the one. However, this is just my reasoning, I am not 100% sure!

When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis ____________ .
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

When carbohydrate consumption exceeds the body's immediate needs for energy, glycogenesis  decreases.

The process of conversation of stored glycogen in the liver and muscles  to glucose is Glycogenesis. It takes place when the blood glucose drops,below certain levels and the body cells need glucose for biochemical activities.Therefore, when there are excess CHO consumption,more glucose would be in the blood,and thus no need for glycogenesis.(breakdown of glycogen)

Glycogen storage space in the liver and muscles is limited. When glycogen stores are full, use of glucose for energy __Increases__________ and oxidation of fat for energy ___decreases_________ .

Definitely, this is a simple logic.As the storage for glycogen is limited,excess glucose  move into the blood, since they can not be converted to glycogen.The glucose is expended through cellular reduce the amount in the blood. Therefore, Gluconeogenesis, the production of glucose from non-CHO substances drops. Hence beta- oxidation drops.

Overall, when carbohydrate intake is excessive, lipogenesis increases.The process of converting excess CHO to fatty acids.Biochemically it is the process of converting the Carbon precursor of acetyl co -A to fatty acids.Therefore this increases to synthesized more fatty acids from CHO
