Energy can be converted from one form to another. Examples: Gasoline (chemical) is put into our cars, and with the help of electrical energy from a battery, provides mechanical (kinetic) energy. ... Similarly, purchased electricity goes into an electric bulb and is converted to visible light and heat energy.

Answer:

1. The chemical energy from food is converted into mechanical energy in order for humans/animals to move.

2. Picture a child moving down a slide. As they go down, that child has kinetic energy. However, when they reach the bottom and stop, the kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. Conversely, at the top of the slide, the child has potential energy which is converted into kinetic energy once they start to go down.

3. Electrical energy from a fan is converted into kinetic energy once it is turned on. The kinetic energy is found within the blades of the fan, where they rotate and generate a cool breeze.

Explanation:

1. Chemical energy --> Mechanical energy

2. Kinetic energy --> Potential energy; Potential energy --> Kinetic energy

3. Electrical energy --> Kinetic energy

What are some future treatments that are on the horizon?it about Cancer

kkurt [141]

Answer:

New discoveries in the treatment of cancer do not only centre on conventional medicine. In our haste to get to grips with a cure for cancer, natural products may be overlooked and dismissed in the fight against such an aggressive disease.

In December, the Academy of General Dentistry reported that a new study had found that simply swishing green tea around the mouth halts the growth of new oral cancer cells and breaks down and kills existing oral cancer cells. The antioxidants (polyphenols) in the tea work to remove the free radicals or oxidants and prevent gene mutations, and as an added bonus, the polyphenols can kill cancerous cells without harming normal cells and inhibiting their growth. Similarly, a chemical found in tomatoes may prevent or treat oral cancer and one derived from soybeans has been found to shrink abnormal growths that lead to cancer. While these are not cures, their activity may in the future lead to therapies that compliment conventional treatment modalities.

Perhaps combining ancient remedies with Western scientific advances is the way forward to finding an effective cure for cancer. Combrestatin – a cancer-fighting drug made from the bark of an African tree – is performing with dramatic effects in tests. The active ingredient extracted from the bark attacks the blood vessels that grow with tumors, while leaving normal blood vessels alone.

Answer:

Protein: 3. This folded amino acid chain is genetically encoded and performs specific functions in the cell.

DNA: 1. This series of nucleotides encodes proteins.

Chromatin: 4. This substance is made up of fibers that are formed in the nucleus by supercoiling genetic material.

Histones: 2. These proteins regulate transcription and modifications of genetic material.
