<h2>Henrietta Discovery </h2>

Henrietta Swan Leavitt discovered cepheids in 1908 during the investigation of different stars in the clouds. She published it by working more on it in 1912 and died in December 1921. This discovery was so important in the society in which she lived because the cosmologist of America was known for this discovery of Cepheids which is a relationship between period, luminosity and quivering stars which changes in light.

A scientist notices that when she adds a small, water-soluble molecule to a dish of cells, the cells turn off transcription of a
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Enzyme-linked

Explanation:

The cell surface receptors that have intracellular domains associated with enzymes are called enzyme-linked receptors. The added molecule was water-soluble and cannot pass through the membrane to bind to intracellular receptors. Binding of the added molecule to the enzyme-linked receptor led to the activation of associated enzymes to generate the response (down-regulation of expression of the target gene).

Examples of enzyme-linked receptors include tyrosine kinase receptors. Binding of the signaling molecule to these receptors triggers phosphorylation of the intracellular domain which in turn transmits the signal to the cytoplasmic messenger.

This image shows the various forces acting on a block of rock situated on a rock slope. What does arrow 4 represent?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

4 is gravitational force

Option B

Explanation:

This is a force diagram of a block on an inclined plane.

The force component is what makes up weight in the diagram. Weight is given as mass multiplied by the gravity.

Gravitational force acts downward and it is the force of attraction between all objects and the earth. It is directly proportional to mass.

Force 1 and 2 are both shear forces that acts parallel to the face of the incline. They are mostly expressed as frictional forces.
