A student places a healthy potted plant and a plastic straw in a closet for two weeks. After two weeks, the student observes tha

t the plant is wilted and brown, while the plastic straw remains the same. The student classifies the plant as living and the plastic straw as nonliving.

Answer:

Plants need water and sun to create their food source, glucose. When the plant was left in the closet it didn't have access to the sun. One of the requirements of life is that all living things need energy/have a metabolism. Without food the plant eventually died.

Cathy's favorite salad dressing is a liquid with particles of salt, pepper, and garlic. When comparing a spoonful of salad dress
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

Liquid equivalent to "cytoplasm" and the particles equivalent to "organelles".

Explanation:

While comparing a liquid salad dressing to a cell, the liquid will be equivalent to "cytoplasm" because cytoplasm is a thick solution present in each cell that made up of water, salts, and proteins.

The particles would be equivalent to "organelles" because as particles float in liquid salad adding flavours to the salad likewise organelles are present in a cell floating in the cytoplasm that performs a specific function.

Hence, the correct answer is " liquid will be equivalent to "cytoplasm" and the particles will be equal to "organelles".

When two genes from two different people are sequenced and aligned, it is discovered that there are multiple sequence difference
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The mutations lie at locations where they don't affect protein sequence due to degeneracy of the genetic code.

Explanation:

Genetic code is the set of the triplet codons each of which code for a specific amino acid. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of triplets during the process of protein synthesis and the respective amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain. The genetic code is degenerate. This means that more than one triplet code specifies one amino acid and some amino acids are encoded by more than one codon.

For instance, genetic codes CUU, CUC, CUA, CUG specify amino acid "leucine". Therefore, any change in the DNA sequence that replaces one code for the leucine with another would not affect the amino acid composition of the protein. This would result in the synthesis of proteins with the same amino acid sequence from both the wild type and mutated genes.

Answer:

The answers are:

  1. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type A:    b. muscle fibers that help with a long sprint or carry a heavy object a short distance
  2. muscular strength:    d. the muscle's capacity to exert force against resistance
  3. Type 1 (slow twitch) muscle fibers:   a. muscle fibers responsible for endurance
  4. Muscle endurance:    c. refers to the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged amount of time.
  5. Type 2 (fast twitch) muscle fibers - type B:     e. muscle fibers used in short explosive movements such as jumping or lifting a very heavy weight one or two times.

Explanation:

Types of Skeletal Muscles:

Skeletal muscle are divided into two types:

  1. Slow Twitch (Type 1)
  2. Fast Twitch (Type 2)
  • Slow twitch muscles are the first ones to contract at times of exercise of strenuous physical activity. A compared to fast twitch muscle fibers, they contract slowly but can sustain contraction for a long time.
  • Fast twitch muscle fibers are divided into two subtypes: Type 2A and Type 2B.
  • Type 2A muscle fibers produce a high amount of force but they fatigue rapidly.
  • Type 2B muscle fibers, fire last, produce the most amount of force but wear out very rapidly.

Muscle Characteristics:

  • Muscle endurance is the muscle's ability to contract with force against a resistance for a prolonged time period.
  • Muscle strength is a measure of the amount of force a muscle can produce against resistance.
