Answer:

D

Explanation:

Bursae is defined as a small fluid filled sac that functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. Bursae are made up of Synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid contained within the bursa sac. The synovial fluid is the lubricant in the body which allows structures in the body to glide over one another easily. There are three main types of bursae in the human body namely:

1. Synovial bursae which lie near the synovial membrane of the joints.

2. Adventitious bursae which occurs only after continued shearing or repeated pressure over a bony prominence.

3. Subcutaneous bursae which lie between the skin and bony prominence. They allow frictionless motion of the skin over the bone.

Answer:

D-They are formed by an extension of the synovial membrane.

Explanation:

These are small sacs, lined by the synovial membrane, located between bones at joints.They are filled with fluids-synovial fluids secreted by the lining synovial membrane.They   therefore reduces frictions at joints between bones,  bones and  muscles, and ligaments .Ensuring  smooth gliding and sliding over one another for friction less movements.  The synovial fluids provided the lubrication for this.

Four  types exists-The synovial, the adventitious, the subcutaneous and sub-muscular

Carbon chains are principal features of both carbohydrates and lipids.what is the primary difference between these two types of
solong [7]
While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:

1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms.  These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.

2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.

aalyn [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hernias are cuts in the muscles that makes the body bulge out. It can occur in the stomach region where intestine lies leading to its bulging out. Hernias has been traced back to early years and until recent it still exist.

Hernia are mostly common in man with little traces in woman. Some hernia are due to some congenital defect and could be found in new born. It is characterized by heart burn,cough, pressure on the affected part.

Hernia are said to be genetic, and this has lead to the continuity in human nature and not its reduction. Hernia have claim some life's especially the severe ones if not properly treated, some people have died in the theater room while be operate upon while some people are in sever pain of the disease. Hernia as at 2015 is present in 18.5million people and has caused death of about 59,800.

Triss [41]

Answer:

c. the cost to growth of allocating resources to defense

d. consistent fitness benefits of high allocations to defense

Explanation:

In order to ensure survival by  escape of  grazing and browsing by herbivores (and insects) plant usually adopt different defence mechanisms.This forms the basis for the optimum defence hypothesis .

The basic idea of the hypothesis is that the type   of  defence that an organism e.g plant  will adopt  against an herbivore depends on its fitness, and since this involve expenditure of energy it will be expensive for the organism to afford and maintain.
