Why would measurement of waist circumference not be suitable for bertillonage?

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]2 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Anthropometry uses measurements of certain specific body features. Bertillonage was initially a system utilized for the identification of criminals. It measures:

  • height
  • weight
  • skin fold thickness
  • arm span
  • head size
  • other distinct features

Waist circumference would be unsuitable, as this system utilizes BMI.

BMI or body mass index tests the body's fat through a height and weight ratios; the test refers to both adults males and females. BMI ranges contain weights less than 18.5 as below average, varying from 18.5 to 24.9 foraverage, overweight ranging from 25 to 29.9 and obese with a BMI of 30 or higher however BMI has limitations; it often overestimates body fat and athletic measurements.

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Lipid bilayer

Explanation:

Red blood cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that separates its interior from the surrounding medium. The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer and consists of two layers of phospholipids. The polar heads of phospholipids make the surfaces of the cell membrane while their nonpolar tails are buried in its core.

The snake venom has phospholipase enzymes that digest the phospholipids into fatty acids. Digestion of phospholipids of the lipid bilayer of red blood cells would cause leakage of their content into the surroundings and loss of integrity of cells.

Heart muscle cells would tend to separate without ________
Hitman42 [59]
The answer is intercalated discs. They allow the heart muscle cells to function as one organ due to a phenomenon known as syncytium. This is where uninuclear cells fuse to form an apparent multinucleate cell. This way the heart muscle cells can contract in synch. Intercalated discs appear in the sarcomere's (of the muscle fibres) Z line.
