Answer

          When a eukaryotic cell is not undergoing mitosis, the DNA and its associated proteins appear as a visible network of dark fibers called the Chromatin.

Definition

               Chromatin is a thread like structure that can be seen inside nucleus before cell division. It is a complex of DNA and histone proteins.  

Forms of chromatin

                    Chromatin exist in two forms, that is  

a. Euchromatin

                     It is less condensed and can be easily transcribed.

b. Heterochromatin

                     It is highly condensed and not transcribed as easy.  

Organization of chromatin

                    Microscopy has shown the appearance of chromatin as beads on a string. The beads are called nucleosomes.  

Nucleosome

                    Each nucleosome is composed of DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins. The nucleosome is then wrapped into a 30nm spiral called solenoid.

Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this h
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

Dangling high above the ground, this rock climber relies on muscular strength to pull her weight higher and higher. However, mus
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is - It has to act together with the nervous system mainly with other systems that assist in rock climbing.

Explanation:

Rock climbing is a physical activity or sport that could practice indoor or outdoor with mountains. It is a sport that requires physical and mental strength as it requires muscle strength, coordination, or balance, agility, endurance, and mental control over body and mind.

Muscular systems involve pulling the weight of an individual towards and leg muscles to hold whereas the nervous system controls or maintain the actions of muscles and also helps in balance the body of the climber. This neuromuscular set helps in maintains the muscle's tonicity in order to execute the action of climbing.

Other than these two main body systems there are cardiovascular system, circulatory system and respiratory system also helps in providing the conditions like increase oxygen input, high heartbeat, and more.
