"An engineer is assigned the task of reducing the air pollutants being released from a power plant that generates electricity by

burning coal. The engineer performs a variety of computer simulations to determine which techniques and methods would be most effective at reducing air pollution generated by the plant.The air pollutant that computer simulations would likely show as being the most reduced by the installation of electrostatic precipitators in exhaust systems"

Answer:

Particulate matter

Explanation:

An electrostatic precipitator is an air filter. For this reason, we can say that the air pollutant that would be captured if electrostatic precipitates were installed in the exhaust systems would be the particulate matter.

An electrostatic precipitator is very effective in controlling atmospheric pollution in an industry, factory or even a plant that emits polluting gases into the atmosphere. This equipment captures the polluting particles, leaving only the clean private gas to be transferred to the atmosphere.

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Melatonin

Explanation:

  • Melatonin is the hormone that is produced by the pineal gland in response to the dark and light cycle.
  • The pineal gland is turned on when there is darkness and turned off when there is light.
  • When it's dark, the pineal gland becomes active and produces melatonin leading to an increase in the melatonin levels in the blood and a person starts to feel more sleepy and the levels of melatonin remain in the blood for about 12 hours after which they fall and the state of wakefulness occurs.
  • The levels of melatonin fall sharply in the presence of bright light.
  • Thus, the melatonin hormone is responsible for controlling the sleep-wake cycle.

Explain why a message moving along nerve pathways takes time.
TiliK225 [7]
The conduction of nerve impulses relies upon the movement of positively-charged ions across the nerve cell membrane. The entry of sodium into the cell produces a wave of positive charge that travels down the length of an axon. Then chemicals called neurotransmitters are secreted out of the end of the axon onto the next nerve in the series (the postsynpatic nerve). This narrow space in between neurons is called the synapse. These neurotransmiiters released by the presynaptic nerve bind to receptors on the postsynaptic nerve. The binding of these receptors opens up channels in this second nerve's membrane that allow sodium ions to enter the nerve cell and initiate another wave of positive charge, and so on... The nerve signal can only move as fast as these ions and neurotransmitters can diffuse to generate this process. 

<span>As a professional athlete repeats a given activity many times over, the nerve cells "upregulate" their receptors, meaning that they produce additional receptors to put in the membrane. This is just a natural reaction to the nerve being repeatedly stimulated in the same way over and over. When neurotransmitter is secreted from the presynaptic neuron, there are more receptors on the postsynaptic neuron for it to bind, more channels open up, more ions enter in a shorter time and build up positive charge to create the impulse faster, and so the overall effect is faster. </span>

<span>Additionally, there are sheaths of fatty tissue (called myelin) that insulate the charge in the neuron and allow it to be conducted faster. As people age, these sheaths can start to degrade, making the nerve cell more "leaky" and causing the impulse to be conducted more slowly. </span>
