Answer:

The Caenorhabditis elegans dauer state is a hibernation-like state of diapause that displays a dramatic reduction in spontaneous locomotion.

Explanation:

Mutations affecting the neurotransmitter dopamine, which regulates voluntary movement in many organisms, can stimulate movement in dauers. The movement of quiescent animals is stimulated by conditions that reduce dopamine signaling and also by conditions predicted to increase dopamine signaling.The stimulation of movement by increased dopamine is much more pronounced in quiescent daf-2(−) dauer and dauer-like adult animals.

In C. elegans hermaphrodites, dopamine is produced by eight neurons and signals via at least four dopamine receptors, DOP-1 through DOP-4. In addition, a presynaptic reuptake transporter, DAT-1, removes dopamine from the extracellular space to terminate signaling. In C. elegans, dopamine is best known for mediating the “basal slowing response” in which the animal's movement slows when it encounters food..  Dopamine is thought to be released in response to food and to act on motor neurons to modulate the animal's movement . Animals that cannot produce dopamine fail to slow in response to food and exogenous dopamine slows the movement of animals cultured without food.The response to dopamine in this situation is complex, as the absence of specific dopamine receptors can have either positive or negative effects on movement.

Nataly_w [17]

The answer is benedict’s reagent.  Benedict’s test is used to detect reducing sugars in solution when heated. The color change occurs from clear blue to a brick-red precipitate in the presence of the reducing sugars. The cupric compounds in the benedicts reagent react with the reducing sugars (enediols) produced from heating of the reducing sugars in the presence of an alkali. Benedict's reagent is comprised of a mixture of sodium citrate, sodium carbonate, and copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate.

1. True.

2. Given: Mass = 30 Kg
Acceleration = 2.0m/s2

Force= mass x acceleration
Force= 30Kg x 2.0 m/s2
Force= 120 N

3. Given : Mass = 30 Kg
Force= 180 N
Force = Mass x Acceleration
Acceleration = Force / Mass
= 180 N / 30 Kg
Acceleration = 6.0 m/s2

miss Akunina [59]

All fibers of the semimembranosus muscle are converged to insert on the posterior tibia.  

Semimembranosus muscle is amongst the hamstring muscles that are present in the posterior region of the thighs. These are the muscles responsible for the extension of the hips and flexion of the knee. The innervation to this muscle is provided by the tibial nerve.

Tibia is also called the shinbone. It is one of the two bones of the lower leg.  The bone carries the maximum of the body's weight and gains support from the fibula, the other bone of the lower leg. Tibia is also the most commonly fractured bone in maximum people.
