Answer:occurring, awarded, or appearing after the death of the originator.

Explanation:And a still smaller number know that Rosalind Franklin, another English scientist, was not given this great honour although her work was an important contribution to Watson, Crick and Wilkins' discovery. ... She died very young in 1958 at the age of 38 and the Nobel Prize is not given posthumously.

Involuntary muscle contractions which move a bolus through the gastrointestinal tract are called
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

peristalsis.

Explanation:

When the food enters the esophagus, it is in the form of a bolus. During this esophageal stage of swallowing, there are rhythmic contractions and relaxation of the circular and longitudinal layers of the muscularis of the GI tract. It is called peristalsis. This pushes the bolus downwards. Peristalsis in the esophagus is controlled by the medulla oblongata.

As the food enters the stomach, waves of peristalsis pass over the stomach every 15 to 25 seconds. The peristaltic waves in the stomach start at its body and become more intense as they reach the antrum. It moves gastric contents from the body of the stomach down into the antrum, a process known as propulsion.

Diffusing molecules move ________ until they are ________. Through channels of active transport proteins; evenly distributed up
koban [17]

Answer;

-Down the concentration gradients; evenly distributed

Diffusing molecules move down the concentration gradients until they are evenly distributed.

Explanation;

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

-Whenever a substance exists in greater concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane, such as cell membranes, any substance that can move down its concentration gradient across the membrane will do so. If the substances can move across the cell membrane without the cell expending energy, the movement of molecules is called passive transport.

-The mechanism of molecules moving across a cell membrane from the side where they are more concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated is a form of passive transport called simple diffusion.

Rna processing drag the correct labels under the diagrams to identify the events of rna processing.
Elena-2011 [213]
In the beginning <span>of the RNA strand as a cap, a modified guanine nucleotide is added. After this, there is a removal of those segments of the RNA strand that do not actually code for the protein. And those RNA’s segments that do code for the protein are reconnected. And forking a tail, extra adenine nucleotides are added to the end of the RNA strand. The mRNA or messenger RNA which is already completed will then leave the nucleus. This whole process is called the RNA processing. Before the RNA copy of a protein encoding can be transported out of the nucleus and translated into protein, it must be first be modified in several ways. A precursor of mRNA, pre-mRNA is the primary transcription product of a gene. </span>
