Answer: Workplace electrocusion

Explanation:

The human body is a good conductor of electricity. The workplace electrocution occurs due to electric shock. This leads to workplace injuries that may often lead to disabilities and can also be fetal. The workplace electrocution can also lead to cardiac arrest, and tissue damage due to thermal burns. The severity of injuries may depend upon the intensity of electricity, health of the victim and how the current flows in the body.

According to the given situation, the freshly mopped floor is a source of water and water, as well as metal, which is a good source of electricity. The electric wire is an energized source of electrical energy that will allow the flow of electric current in the body, as well as contact with the floor containing water, which will enhance the effect. Thus this is an example of workplace electrocution.

Which of the following does NOT describe bacteria? They help break down dead organic material so it can be recycled into a usabl
vovangra [49]
I think the correct answer would be the third option. Organisms that help break down dead organic material so it can be recycled into a usable form for other organisms are called decomposers and this would include some of the bacteria. Also, there is a number of bacteria that are capable of breaking down some of the harmful products like in recent studies there are bacteria that could dechlorinate the toxic PCB substance. Some bacteria, as well, lives in the human intestines which aids in the breaking down of the food into useful molecules. The third option is partially true since there are some bacteria like the cyanobacteria which produces oxygen but it does not contribute largely to the oxygen present in the atmosphere.

Drag the labels to show how the glucose and hormone levels will change in each mouse after they are joined by parabiosis. labels
babunello [35]
<span>Answer: Parabiosis is an effective way to evaluate hormone function because it permits the exchange of only long-lived molecules (such as hormones) between the two joined individuals. Thus, the glucose levels of each mouse will stay the same, but the hormone levels will not. The db mutant's hormone level will decrease, and the wild type's hormone level will increase. Coleman's goal was to determine if the ob and db genes function in the hormonal regulation of appetite and body fat. In this experiment, if both appetite-suppressing hormone and glucose were exchanged, it would be impossible to determine whether any weight changes in the mice were caused by the transfer of hormone or the transfer of glucose from one mouse to the other. For example, an increase in hormone level (and thus greater appetite suppression) could lead to weight loss, as could a decrease in glucose level. On the other hand, a decrease in hormone level or an increase in glucose level could lead to weight gain.</span>
