Answer

       Water molecules sticking to a mirror’s surface is an example of adhesion.

Explanation

      Adhesion is the property of attractive force that exist between two different molecules. water molecules adhere to  other surfaces due to their polar nature.

Importance

                   it is because of adhesive forces that water can travel and cover a distance of 100 meter up in the plants through xylem vessels as recorded in the world tallest tree (red wood tree)

Drag each tile to the correct box. Explain the process in which hormones secreted by the pancreas function with respect to incre
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The correct order is:

  1. High amount of glucose in the blood, sending signals toward the pancreas.  
  2. Synthesis of hormones by beta cells.
  3. Binding of hormones with receptors on the liver.
  4. Intake of glucose molecules from the blood by specific transporters.
  5. Release of hormones from the receptors  

Explanation:

  • The pancreas produces two hormones important for the regulation of blood glucose levels.
  • The two hormones, glucagon and insulin, increase and decrease the blood sugar respectively.
  • Insulin lowers the blood glucose by stimulating the body cells to increase the intake of glucose.
  • The brain senses high/low blood glucose, then, sends signals to the pancreas to initiate the synthesis of insulin or glucagon by the beta cells.
  • These hormones bind to receptors on body cells; on hepatic cells, in case of insulin.
  • The receptors initiate cellular signaling that facilitates intake or exit of glucose in or out of body cells.

What industry is the primary user of perchloroethylene, a chemical that researchers at Boston University have linked to mental i
Fofino [41]

The dry cleaning industry is the primary user of the chemical perchloroethylene (PCE). The research done by the researchers at the Boston university have found that the PCE chemical increases the risk of developing mental illnesses in the people working with it. Since, it is a common name in the dry-cleaning industry, the workers in this industry are much more prone to mental illnesses a compared to other people.

Hence, the answer is 'dry cleaning industry'.

The fact that choanoflagellates and collar cells of sponges resemble each other supports the inference that ________. Group of a
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

choanoflagellates and sponges are sister groups

Explanation:

The choanoflagellates are small unicellular organisms belonging to the Protista kingdom. These microorganisms are collared flagellates morphologically similar to the choanocyte cells of animal sponges, which have a central flagellum surrounded by a collar of microvilli. In consequence, it has been suggested that choanoflagellates may represent the closest living relatives of primitive metazoans (i.e., they are sister groups to sponges). This hypothesis has recently been supported by both molecular phylogenetic and comparative genomic analyses.

Think about earths ocean as one subsystem within the larger earth system. Describe at least two inputs and two outputs to the oc
bija089 [108]

Answer:

There are four subsystem of earth that includes lithosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and atmosphere.

Ocean is included in hydrosphere and is one of teh largest subsytem in the earth. <u>The two input and output to the ocean subsytem are as following:</u>

  • The wind energy (input) transfer to ocean surface affects the motion of water in the ocean and produces waves (output).
  • Heat energy recieved from the sun (input) is transferred toward the poles and allows the heat lost to the space (output).

<u>some of the interaction of ocean with other subsytem are as following:</u>

  • Interaction between biosphere and hydrosphere (ocean): ocean provide water to living organism for survival and growth.
  • Interaction between atmosphere and ocean is water cycle. The water from ocean evaporates through heat (sun) and through rain the water again reaches to the oceans.
