The ____________ is a hollow storage vat that initiates digestion of proteins.

Answers

Answer 1

The answer is stomach. The stomach is the major part of our digestive system because here the digestion occurs, it looks like a pear shaped enlargement of the alimentary canal connecting to the esophagus to the small and large intestine.  Then the pancreas secretes and produced a digestive enzyme that release insulin.

10. All of the following are ways the penguins stay warm EXCEPT
A. Swimming fast
B. Fat reserves
C. Layers of feathers
D. Staying close together in groups

11. The population of penguins has increased greatly over the past several decades. Part of this can be attributed to the over-hunting of baleen whales. Develop a logical argument for why these two occurrences can be connected.

Answers

1) The answer is C. Weddell and Crab eater seal usually form breeding groups or colonies when breeding. The Leopard and Ross seals are solitary when breeding. Antarctic and elephant seals on the other hand breed in dense groups on beaches when breeding.

2) The answer is C. Sea ice is frozen water that forms, grows and melts in the ocean.It occurs both in the arctic and antarctic. The sea ice grows during the winter months and melts during the summer months making it a seasonal ice. Areas with sea ice do not absorb much light because sunlight that strike it are reflected back into space.

3) The answer is C. Heat capacity. When the sun heats the surface evaporation of water occurs. The water vapour is lifted into the atmosphere using heat currents. The water vapour  combines with dust particles to form clouds which later rain.

4) The answer is C. The cold water is denser and thus is moves to the bottom(downwelling). Water that is rich in nutrients then moves up to the surface to replace the cold water. The increased nutrients trigger the growth of organisms like the algae.

5) What is the difference between El nino and La nina.
El Nino is the warm phase of ENSO while La Nina is the cold phase of ENSO. El Nino usually brings rainfall and warmth to western pacific regions and coldness and dryness to the eastern pacific region while La Nina brings coldness in the eastern pacific regions and heavy rains that cause floods in the western pacific.

6) The answer is C. During the La Nina year the sea surface temperature is greater than normal in the Western pacific. The La Nina is an exaggeration of the usual seasonal cool cycle unlike El Nino which is an exaggeration of the warm cycle. The La Nina year occurs after some El Nino years.

7) Names for hurricane are beneficial over latitude longitude identification because they are easier to remember. They avoid confusion which is more likely when using latitude longitude identification.They also help to spread awareness and are much easier to track.

8)The answer is B. The leopard is the second largest seal that have powerful jaws and long teeth. They use these teeth to kill smaller seals, fish and squid. They also feed on penguins. This is why they do not rely on krill as a major food source.

9) The answer is A. The adelie penguins feed mostly on krill but switch to fish during breeding because fish and squid are more abundant and krill is more scarce. I think this is because during the breeding season birds spend short periods at sea and hence more fish is available.

10) The answer is A. Due to the fact that penguins live in cold environments, they have adopted a few features to keep them warm. These features include fat under their skin,layers of features and staying together in groups. Penguins swim fast in order to launch themselves in the air.

11) The population of penguins have greatly increased due to the hunting of baleen whales. Baleen whales are know to eat krill and fishes. This means when there is a reduction of the baleen whales there will be an increase in the amount of krill and fish. This will result to an increase in the amount of penguins since food availability will increase increasing their chances of survival.

All restriction sites are palindromic. what does this mean?

Answers

I think this means that nucleotide sequences at the restriction sites are the same when read forward or backward. Restriction sites, or restriction recognition sites, are locations on a DNA molecule containing specific (4-8 base pairs in length) sequences of nucleotides, which are recognized by restriction enzymes. Palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence on double-stranded DNA or RNA wherein reading 5' to 3' forward on one strand matches the sequence reading 5' to 3' on the complementary strand with which it forms a double strand.

Restriction sites being palindromic means they read the same in both directions on complementary DNA strands, a feature used by restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific points for genetic engineering.

All restriction sites being palindromic means that their sequence of bases reads the same in the 5' to 3' direction on one strand of DNA as it does in the 5' to 3' direction on the complementary strand. For example, the restriction enzyme known as Hind III recognizes a specific palindromic sequence which is the same forward on one strand and backward on the complementary strand. This feature is crucial for the function of restriction enzymes, which are tools used by molecular biologists to cut DNA at specific sites. The ability of these enzymes to recognize and cleave palindromic sequences allows for the precise manipulation of DNA during cloning and genetic engineering processes. The palindromic nature ensures that the cut, or cleavage, creates predictable and complementary overhangs, often referred to as 'sticky ends'. These sticky ends can then be used to bind or 'ligate' DNA fragments together in a desired sequence, facilitating DNA recombination.

When atp releases some energy, it also releases inorganic phosphate. what happens to the inorganic phosphate in the cell?

Answers

It starts to die and the cell starts to die.

Final answer:

When ATP releases energy, inorganic phosphate can be used in various cellular processes such as phosphorylation of other compounds or stored as glycogen.

Explanation:

When ATP is broken down, usually by the removal of its terminal phosphate group, energy is released. The energy is used to do work by the cell, usually by the released phosphate binding to another molecule, activating it. For example, in the mechanical work of muscle contraction, ATP supplies the energy to move the contractile muscle proteins. In the case of inorganic phosphate, it can be used in various cellular processes such as phosphorylation of other compounds or stored as glycogen.

Women who wish to become pregnant should have sexual intercourse after a surge in: women who wish to become pregnant should have sexual intercourse after a surge in: luteinizing hormone (lh). progesterone. follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh). androgens.

Answers

I believe the answer is luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone also known as lutropin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. The hormone is considered a gonadotrophic hormone because of its role in controlling the function of ovaries in females and testes in males which are known as the gonads. In females it controls the length and sequence of the female menstrual cycle, including ovulation, preparation of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg, and ovarian production of both estrogen and progesterone.

which families of metals are not so reactive, which allows them to exist by themselves in nature?

Answers

Precious metals (silver (Ag), gold (Au)) and platinum metals (ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt)) are extremely nonreactive, they are very stable and can be found in nature in elementary form. Poor reactivity of these metals originates from the fact that their atoms are significantly smaller than the alkali metal atoms, so their valence electrons are much closer to the atomic nucleus and are more firmly attached to it. That is why they have higher values of the ionization energy than alkali metals.

Starting with the smallest level of ecological organization and moving toward the highest, the order should go organism, __________. view available hint(s) starting with the smallest level of ecological organization and moving toward the highest, the order should go organism, __________.

Answers

organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-organism→population→community→ecosystem→biosphere

Explanation:

Ecologists have tried to organize the ecosystem into levels which gave rise to the concept of ecological level of organization.

In an ecosystem, the ecological organisation move from simplicity to complexity in which the lowest level is an organism or species. When these similar organisms live together they form a population.  A group of these population form a community of organism which forms an ecosystem in the biosphere.

Thus, the ecological organization will be organism→population→community→ecosystem→biosphere

A client with a history of opiate abuse asks the nurse, "why do i crave this stuff so much?" the nurse responds, knowing that the client's craving is a result of which factor?

Answers

Final answer:

The craving the client experiences is likely a result of psychological dependence on opiates, where the brain's reward system has been altered to create intense cravings. The development of tolerance and the use of rehabilitation methods including psychotherapy and medication can assist in overcoming addiction.

Explanation:

The client's craving for opiates is likely due to psychological dependence, which is an emotional, rather than physical, need for a drug. Clients with a history of opiate abuse develop this dependence because these drugs alter the brain's reward system, leading to intense drug cravings. To answer the client's question, the nurse should explain that craving opioids is a common effect of the psychological dependence that can develop after repeated use, and even after the physical withdrawal symptoms have resolved.

Over time, a person who uses opioids may develop tolerance, meaning they need higher doses of the drug to achieve the same effect, which further exacerbates the cycle of dependence and addiction. Withdrawal symptoms from opioids can include not only physical discomfort but also psychological distress like anxiety and depression. To treat addiction, rehabilitation may involve psychotherapy, support groups, and sometimes medications like methadone to help manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

The principal hormone secreted by the corpus luteum, which prepares the uterus for pregnancy,

Answers

The answer progesterone 
Final answer:

The corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure in females, produces the hormone progesterone which is crucial for maintaining pregnancy.

Explanation:

The principal hormone secreted by the corpus luteum, which prepares the uterus for pregnancy, is progesterone. The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine structure in female ovaries and is involved in the production of relatively high levels of progesterone, necessary to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Once the egg has been released from the follicle during ovulation, the remaining follicular structure is transformed into the corpus luteum. If a pregnancy occurs, the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone, which helps maintain the pregnancy until the placenta is able to take over this function.

A radioactive tracer has a half life of 2 hours. How much of a 2500 g sample will be available after 24 hours?

A) 2.44 g
B) 1.22 g
C) 0.610 g
D) 0.31 g

Answers

hello
the best answer would be c

Final answer:

Using the concept of half-life, we find that after 24 hours, which is 12 half-lives for a substance with a half-life of 2 hours, a 2500 g sample of a radioactive tracer will decay to 0.610 g.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the amount of a radioactive tracer remaining after a certain period, given its half-life. To calculate this, we apply the concept of half-life, which is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. In this case, the half-life is 2 hours.

After 24 hours, which is 12 half-lives (24 hours ÷ 2 hours per half-life), the amount of substance remaining can be calculated as follows:

After 1 half-life (2 hours): 2500 g ÷ 2 = 1250 g

After 2 half-lives (4 hours): 1250 g ÷ 2 = 625 g

...

After 12 half-lives (24 hours): 2500 g ÷ (2^12) = 2500 g ÷ 4096 = 0.610 g

Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is C) 0.610 g.
