Science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings, on what are they gliding?
Citrus2011 [14]

Soaring is a science when birds remain airborne and moving without flapping their wings. They are maintaining thrust and gliding downward but staying aloft

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation</h3>

Soaring birds is where the birds can maintain flight without wing flapping, because they using rising air currents. Many gliding birds are able to lock their extended wings by means of a specialized tendon. Some land birds such as vultures and certain hawks, sustain flight for long periods without flapping their wings.

For example soaring California Condor spreads its primary feathers so that each acts as a small, high-aspect-ratio wing. This reduces turbulence at the wingtips and helping the condor to stay aloft circling slowly in thermals.

Vultures have a low aspect ratio (ratio of length to width of the wing) which generally produce a lot of drag. Vultures overcome the problem of by flying with their primary feathers extended, creating slots between them. Each primary serves as an individual high-aspect-ratio wing. This high-aspect-ratio reducing wingtip turbulence and lowering the stalling speed of the wings. This helps vultures to circle in thermals, maintaining thrust by gliding downward, but staying aloft by sinking at a rate slower than the hot air rising.

In muscle cells, fermentation produces _____.
algol13

Answer:

The correct answer is E. Lactate and NAD+

Explanation:

Fermentation occurs in anaerobic condition and in humans, most of the energy is provided by aerobic respiration but when the body needs a lot of energy in a very quick time like in sprinting then muscles use lactic acid fermentation to gain energy.

After the consumption of all stored ATP during intense work, our body starts lactic acid fermentation to gain ATP. In lactic acid fermentation, the pyruvate molecule that was produced during glycolysis is converted into lactate molecule. In this process, NADH is oxidized to NAD+.  

Therefore in lactic acid fermentation lactate and NAD+ are produced. So the correct answer is E.

1. The nucleic acids DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many . 2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

1. Nucleotides

2. Amino acids

3. Amino acids

4. Glucose

Explanation:

All the above substance described are biomolecules. They are all polymers i.e. complex molecule bond together in a long repeating chain, made up of simpler subunits called monomers. The monomers of the different biomolecules outlined above are:

1. The nucleic acids, DNA and RNA carry genetic information and are made up of many NUCELEOTIDES. A nuceleotide is a chemical combination of a five carbon sugar (pentose), phosphate group and nitrogenous base. These nucleotides are arranged sequentially to form nucleic acids (RNA and DNA).

2. Myoglobin is a protein that binds oxygen molecules and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are arranged to form a 3D structure that determines the function of the protein.

3. Insulin is a protein hormone that regulates blood glucose levels and is a polymer of AMINO ACIDS. All proteins are made up of the amino acid but the protein's function is dependent on the 3D structure formed by the amino acid sequence.

4. Animals store energy in the form of glycogen, a carbohydrate made up of thousands of monosaccharide (GLUCOSE). Glycogen is a polysaccharide made up of many monosaccharide units. These units are glucose molecules that are multibranched to form the glycogen that stores mainly in the liver and muscles of animals.

In order to make new nucleic acids your body needs food that contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as well as
sweet-ann [11.9K]

The correct answer is option D, that is, nitrogen and phosphorus.  

Nucleic acids refer to the macromolecules comprising oxygen, hydrogen, phosphorus, and carbon. They are the small biomolecules or the biopolymers, playing an essential role in all the known forms of life.  

They comprise nucleotides that are the monomers formed of three constituents, that is, a 5-carbon sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group. If the sugar is obtained from ribose as deoxyribose, then the polymer is DNA, and if the sugar is a compound ribose, then the polymer is RNA.
