Great question!

<span> mechanical advantage is the factor of which a machine multiplies the force put into it. For example, if a simple machine has a mechanical advantage of 3 it means that it made the work you did 3 times easier or you only had to put in 1/3 the force you would have if you didn’t have the simple machine.
</span>
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle you must divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle.<span>Therefore larger wheels means that the speed of the wheels is faster than the speed of the axle and for each rotation the axle makes the wheels are making multiple rotations. A mechanical advantage of 5 means that the wheels are moving 5 times faster than the axle.
</span>
<span>F = MA= radius of wheel/radius of axle</span>, this is 1 when the radius of both the wheel and axle are the same,and greater than one when the radius of the axle is less than the radius of the wheel.

Individuals producing an abnormal form of the extracellular matrix protein, fibrillin, is a result of ______.
erastova [34]

Answer:

Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.

Explanation:

Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.

As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms

Tall stature.

Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.

Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.

Arched palate and crowded teeth.

Heart murmurs.

Extreme nearsightedness.

Describe the rock cycle. Discuss what can happen to rock material within the
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The rock cycle is a constant transformation of rocks between the three rock types of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. If the sediments are buried behind other layers of sediment, they can lithify and form sedimentary rock. When rocks melt, magma is formed. Rocks form deep below the Earth, move and sometimes change, rise to the surface, and eventually return to their original location.

A scientist wants to test whether the pH, salinity, and temperature of seawater impacts coral development. He sets up an experim
romanna [79]

The conclusion that coral does not grow well in conditions with high salt is invalid because (B)  The experiment changes more than one variable at once.

In order to correctly study the effect of three variables on there needs to be, 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 different aquariums (every variable takes 3 different values and there are 3 different variables).

In these aquariums, only one condition needs to be varied at a time to study its effect. To study the condition with high salt, the temperature and pH needs needs to be kept fixed at a particular value whilst varying the salinity from normal to low to high.
