Answer:

D. The sympathetic system prepares the body for stress and activity and the parasympathetic system prepares the body for rest.

Explanation:

Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system are two divisions of autonomic nervous system.
Acetylcholine is a common neurotransmitter released by preganglionic neurons of both systems.
The post Ganglionic neurons of these two systems release different neurotransmitter.
The sympathetic nervous system is concerned with 'fight and flight response'
The parasympathetic nervous system is concerned with 'rest and digest ' response.

How does a cow use the sugar molecules stored in the grass it eats?

11111nata11111 [884]

ANSWER: A living organism intakes food, it breaks down into mostly water and large organic molecules. These large organic molecules are Fat, Proteins, Glucose, Starch and Cellulose. These molecules are still not usable by the cells so the body breaks these large polymers into small monomers.

In cow's muscles, protein muscles are built by tapping 4 amino acid monomers. Fat muscles are built by tapping 3 fatty acid monomers and 1 glycerol molecule.

Cows use glucose molecules to mix with oxygen to release chemical energy in cellular respiration. Cows can make fat molecules and glucose molecules because fatty acids and glycerols are made up of same atoms, C, H and O.

In dna replication, each individual parent strand acts as a _____ strand for the synthesis of a _____ strand.

irina [24]

The answer is template strand; daughter strand.

In DNA replication, each individual parent strand acts as a template strand for the synthesis of a daughter strand. DNA replication is a process of producing of two identical copies of DNA from the original DNA. DNA molecule consists of two strands and each strand serves as a template strand for the synthesis of a daughter cell. DNA polymerase binds to the origins of replication and synthesises daughter strands by adding complementary nucleotides.
