Answer:

Small head

Explanation:

Since the genes are located in the nucleus of a cell which has being removed (but some genes are still located in the mitochondria of the ocyte) from its ocyte to fuse it with with another nucleus.

Which food molecule (monosaccharide, polysaccharide, lipid, or protein) would you eat if...

torisob [31]

You needed a quick boost of energy - MONOSACCHARIDE

You wanted to grow strong nails, you haven't eaten in days - PROTEIN

You wanted to grow healthy hair - PROTEIN

You had a race tomorrow afternoon - POLYSACCHARIDE

You were getting ready for hibernation - LIPIDS

You wanted to get bigger muscles - PROTEIN

Your meal will be in a week - LIPIDS

CARBOHYDRATES include monosaccharide and polysaccharides. They provide immediate energy boost or short term energy storage for animals as well as long term energy storage for plants.

PROTEIN speeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. It is used to form bones and build muscles. It is made up of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and an R group.

LIPIDS can be saturated or unsaturated fatty acids. They are not soluble in water however they provide long-term energy storage for animals.

Which of these conditions indicate positive feedback has occurred?

aleksklad [387]

Answer;

A) Blood pressure decreases greatly; blood flow to the heart is inadequate, and blood pressure decreases.

Explanation;

-With negative feedback, the output reduces the original effect of the stimulus. While in a positive feedback system, the output enhances the original stimulus.

-Negative feedback is the most commonly used feedback loop in the body. Negative feedback is used to negate or counteract a stimulus without completely eradicating it.

-One key difference between the two feedback is that positive feedback loops are used to eradicate a stimulus. Another key difference is that responses through positive feedback become more amplified over time. So once a stimulus activates a positive feedback loop it is not turned off until the stimulus is completely removed.
