The cornea does most of the focusing of the light onto the retina, and the lens allows for more accuracy of focusing.

The cornea is the outer transparent some-shaped structure that covers the iris and the pupil. The cornea directs light rays into the eye and helps focus them on the light-sensitive retina at the back of the eye, providing sharp, clear vision. The cornea provides 65-75% of your eye's focusing power. The cornea does not contain any blood vessels, but instead contains many nerve endings that make it extremely sensitive and that is the reason why s scratch or even a loose eyelashes is so painful.
The lens on the other hand, is composed of transparent, flexible tissue and is located directly behind the iris and the pupil. Light passes through the pupil to the lens. Small muscles attached to the lens can make the lens change shape, allowing the eyes to focus on near or far objects. The lens provides 25-35% of the eye's focusing power.

The answer is cornea…..lens. Most bending of light entering the eye is bent by the cornea. The lens of the other hand adjusts this bending further, to focus it squarely on the retina. This is why the focal point of the lens can be adjusted by changing its shape.

The thalamus ______. the thalamus ______. is a "bridge" that relays nerve impulses between the cerebrum and cerebellum via the m

nekit [7.7K]

I think the thalamus is the gateway to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located just above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the mid brain and has extensive nerve connections to both. Its main function is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. A sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation, which is then passed onto the cerebral cortex for interpretation as touch, pain or temperature.

A student draws a fence with several gate as part of a model of cellular transport explain what defence indicates represent blam

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The given question says that a student has constructed a model of cellular transport using fences and several gates.

This model can be used to demonstrate the cellular transport.

The gates of the fences can be supposed as the protein pumps and the other fence demonstrates the lipid bilayer.

Let’s suppose in the fence, there are many cattles, and outside, there are less cattles, but the student open the gate and bring more cattles inside the fence. In this case, the transport of the cattles is similar to the active transport of the molecules using protein pumps. At cellular level, the energy for the active transport is provided by ATP molecules.

Now, let’s say, the student wants to feed the cattles with some nutrition rich food, which can help in maintaining the health of the cattles. The student fills his car with the cattle food and he enters inside the fence through gates. In this case, the food was not present in the fence, but was abundant in the outside environment, so, the diffusion would occur. But food cannot come self, without help of others, so, the movement is facilitated by the car, as it is done by the carrier proteins. Hence, it is an example of facilitated diffusion.

Bacteria with the ability to break down certain types of plastic are placed with a colony of E. coli bacteria that lack this abi

zloy xaker [14]

The answer is C

Plasmids are conferred through horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. The ‘male’ bacteria develops a structure called pili that then attaches to the ‘female’ bacteria. It then transfers it’s replicated plasmid to the ‘female’ bacteria in a process called conjugation. This bacteria will hence have desirable traits that are coded for by the transferred genetic material ,such as antibiotic resistance, after a process called recombination.

A patient has a large bruise so the phlebotomist collects a blood specimen distal to it. describe where the specimen was collect

olga55 [171]

Phlebotomy refers to a collection of venous blood. This operation can be practiced on all the superficial veins of the body, on those of the foot, the leg, the neck, the whole upper limb. It must be done in an area where there is a protruding vein and the least sensitive to limit pain to the patient. It should not be done in an altered, injured or infected area (like bruise)

The blood is collected on tubes with or without anticoagulant according to the analyzes that one wants to practice.

The reason for choosing the sampling site is for the most part practical, the veins are easily identifiable, and easily accessible for paramedical personnel. Their collection is less dangerous than that of arteries, which are generally thinner and close to the peripheral nerves.
