"Meghan was driving home when she heard a tire explode on the car right next to her. As a result, her heart started pounding and

she began to shake, and she sped up to move as far from the sound as possible. Based on this information, which nervous system was activated when Meghan first heard the explosion?"

Answer:

Sympathetic nervous system

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system of the autonomic division prepares the body for stress or emergency conditions by generating the “fight-or-flight” responses. The sympathetic nervous system triggers the release of stress hormones from the adrenal medulla to generate the set of physiological responses.

There is dilation of the pupil, and an increased rate of heartbeat and increased blood pressure. Other responses include dilation of airways and dilation of blood vessels that supply blood to skeletal muscles, heart muscles, liver, etc. Under the given emergency condition, the sympathetic nervous system of Meghan was activated to generate the fight or flight response.

Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication?
Sedaia [141]

The right answer is A.Transcription uses uracil.

The genes carried by the DNA will be encoded in another form: messenger RNA, during a process called "transcription".

The DNA and RNA molecules are chemically very close, but the second has an extra oxygen (in red on the right of the letters) on the sugars (riboses) that make up its nucleotides (the DNA actually contains deoxyribose). In addition, the thymine (T) of DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.

Why have improvements in microscopes over time resulted in revisions in the cell theory? They have revealed new information abou
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer;

They have revealed new information about cell structure and processes.

Explanation;

-The Cell Theory states that, All living things are made up of cells, Cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things, and that new cells are produced from existing cells.

-Most microscopes use lenses to magnify the image of an object by focusing light or electrons.

-The Invention of the Microscope helped the development of the cell theory because it allowed the scientists to actually discover that everything was made up of cells, and what cells do to come up with that theory. If the scientists did not see that cells existed, they could not have observed the cells easily and they would not be able to construct the cell theory.

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, I_{min} =  5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

                                      = 8.5 x 10^{-3} m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x 10^{-3} m

∴ Area of the eye, A = \pi .r^{2}

                                 = 3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}

                                = 5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}

Let P_{min} be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, P_{min} = I_{min} x A

                                              = 5\times 10^{-13} x 5.6\times 10^{-5}

                                             = 2.8\times 10^{-17} W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

N_{min}=P_{min}/E

where E = hc/\lambda

             = \left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}  \right )/548\times 10^{-9}

            = 3.62\times 10^{-19} J

Therefore, N_{min} = \frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}

                                              = 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34
