  • If a person has damaged the epidermal layer of skin then the damaged layer must be cleaned as soon as possible to prevent the epidermal skin from further infection.
  • Antibiotic cream must be applied on the wound to continue the process of wound healing as infection can slow down the process of healing.
  • The cut area must be covered with bandage to prevent from action of harmful micoorganisms.

Hyenas and lions have fierce battles over food. Which type of relationship does this describe?
Nonamiya [84]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Competition

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Organisms compete for the resources they need to survive in an ecosystem such as air, water, food, and space. Competition both within and between species is an important topic in ecology. Every individual in an ecosystem requires certain things to survive and to reproduce. They compete with members of their own species (intra specific) and members of other species that need the same things (inter specific). The most important of them is food so the relationship between hyenas and lions over food is called a competition in the given ecosystem.

The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ________, while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of
AnnZ [28]

Answer:The cells that produce hair contain a lot of ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM , while the cells that produce the oils that coat the hair contain a lot of SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

Explanation: ROUGH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM or  RER is a cisternae organelle that have two faces: the cytosolic face and the nucleus face. The cytosolic face is studded with ribosomes that are responsible for synthesizing proteins, a process known as translation. In the cells that produce hair, keratinocytes, the main protein synthesized is keratin.

SMOOTH ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM is an organelle that lacks ribosomes and the function is related to lipid synthesis, different case that proteins synthesis. Specialized cells located in the SER (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) produces the oils that coat the hair called sebum to lubricate the hair. These cells secrete the sebum in an holocrine way. The composition of the sebum is made of triglycerides, wax esters, squalene.

What is the proper position of the erector spinae muscles situated from medially to laterally relative to the axis of the verteb
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

These group of muscles called erector spinae muscles arises from a tendon in the sacral area and pelvis, it extends up to the occipital bone.

Erector spinae muscles originates from the SPINOUS PROCESSES of T9-T12 of the thoracic vertebrae and inserts into the SPINOUS PROCESSES of T1-T2 of the cervical vertebrae

They therefore run vertically on either side of the spine (medially and laterally).

How might the study of meteorites help astronomers determine the origin of meteoroids?
olganol [36]

Answer:

Through the study of meteorites, their chemical composition of silicates—material made of silicon and oxygen. Others contain metal—nickel and iron. Knowing what the meteorite was composed of lets you know where it came from. Chondrites are composed of hardened lava - this is occurred at the beginning of the solar system (4.5 mya). Carbonaceous chondrites contain carbon and water which formed away from the sun.
