Answer:

There are about 120 million rods in the human retina. The cones are not as sensitive to light as the rods. However, cones are most sensitive to one of three different colors (green, red or blue). Signals from the cones are sent to the brain which then translates these messages into the perception of color.

Average global temperatures are higher when the earths orbit is more elliptical and cooler when the orbit is more circular how c
svlad2 [7]

The obliquity (axial tilt), precession (wobble), and the eccentricity (how close to being circular) of the Earth’s orbit, comprise the Milankovitch cycle. These three factors affect the amount of heat energy from the sun (solar heat) directed to Earth, influencing climactic changes and patterns.


The tilt of the axis mainly affects the amount of solar heat each hemisphere receives. The greater the tilt, the more solar energy is directed at the northern hemisphere. Along with precession, they also affect the length of days and nights experienced by certain parts of the Earth.


The eccentricity of the orbit affects the distance of the Earth to the Sun during its revolution in orbit. The orbit is an elliptical path followed by the Earth, with the Sun not exactly at the center. Thus, there is a time when the Earth is closest to the Sun (perihelion) and this allows the Earth to experience radiation the most. On the other hand, there is also a time when Earth is farthest to the Sun (aphelion). This difference in distance creates a heat exposure retained by the Earth. From the time of perihelion it absorbs so much solar energy and is gradually expended revolving but at the same time still absorbing solar heat – hotter global temperature .


If the orbit was more circular, the distance of the Earth to the Sun will always be the same at any point in the orbit. Thus, allowing equal exposure to the Earth at all times. There will be no point in time in which the Earth will absorb so much heat. This will cause a cooler global temperature compared to the elliptical orbit.

What is ischemia? Coronary infraction?
Alex17521 [72]

<u>What is ischemia?</u>

It can affect your heart, your intestines, and any part of your body. If this happens it can end up triggering a sequence that leads to your death.

<u>Ischemia is.. </u>

an inadequate supply of oxygenated blood to all or part of a tissue or organ as a result of an obstructed or constricted blood vessel.

<u>Not sure what you mean by "Coronary infraction?", but</u>

The word "infarction" comes from the Latin "infarcire" meaning "to plug up or cram."

Alex777 [14]

Viruses lack the properties of living things:

1. They have no energy metabolism

2. They do not grow

3. They do not respond to stimuli

4. They do not reproduce independently- they have to replicate by invading living cells.

Which biomolecule is the most diverse and has a variety of functions? *
ryzh [129]

Answer: Proteins

Explanation:

Proteins are one of the most plentiful naturally-grown molecules in living systems and possess the most distinctive extent of duties of all macromolecules. The purposes of proteins are highly distinct for 20, unlike chemically different amino acids that develop large chains, plus the amino acids can occur in any method. Proteins may be architectural, regulatory, contractile, or shielding; they may work in transportation, storage, or membranes; or they may be poisons or enzymes. An instance of the function of proteins: proteins can work as enzymes or hormones. Enzymes made by living cells are catalysts in biochemical reactions and are usually proteins.

Why do animal cells have centriole but plant cells do not?
Mamont248 [21]
<span>Animals have centrioles to form spindle fibers during prophase. The centriole divides cells. Plants do not have them because they have microtubules instead; they do not need centrioles. Plants are capable of forming a circular loop of microtubules around the future plane of division prior to prophase called the preprophase band, rather than centrosome. Basically- plants don't need it. They have a different way of cell division.</span>
