How does my body know how do you carry out the essential functions of life? Systems of specialized cells within organisms help them perform the essential functions of life, which involve chemical reactions that take place between different types of molecules, such as water, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. All cells contain genetic information […]
What device may require the use of a 12V 6 pin power connector?
What device may require the use of a 12V 6 pin power connector? Chapter 1 RQ’s Question Answer What device might require extra power so that it uses the 12V 6-pin power connector? A PCI Express card What is the purpose of the 4-pin auxiliary connector on a motherboard? to make more power What is […]
Which are examples of water absorbing energy?
Which are examples of water absorbing energy? When water absorbs enough heat, it becomes a gas (water vapor). This process is called evaporation. Water vapor (steam) mixes with the air and seems to disappear. A simple example is water boiling in a teapot and escaping into the air. What happens when the kinetic energy of […]
Does conditioning affect emotion?
Does conditioning affect emotion? Does Conditioning affect emotions? Conditioning applies to visceral or emotional responses as well as simple reflexes. As a result, conditioned emotional responses (CERs) also occur. Behavior that occurs as an automatic response to some stimulus ; skinner’s term for behavior learned through classical conditioning. How is classical conditioning used today? Classical […]
How is energy transferred in a bicycle?
How is energy transferred in a bicycle? Mechanical energy usually means the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy. So when you ride your bike you hope that the muscular (chemical) energy is converted mainly into mechanical energy. Unfortunately friction will produce heat and sound and will reduce the amount of mechanical energy that […]
Why do electrons lose or gain electrons?
Why do electrons lose or gain electrons? Explanation: Atoms and chemical species lose or gain electrons when they react in order to gain stability. Thus, typically, metals (with nearly empty outer shells) lose electrons to non-metals, thereby forming positive ions. The number of electrons depends on their position on the Periodic table (in simple terms). […]
How do RBC survive without nucleus?
How do RBC survive without nucleus? The red blood cells without nuclei, called reticulocytes, subsequently lose all other cellular organelles such as their mitochondria, Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. The spleen acts as a reservoir of red blood cells, but this effect is somewhat limited in humans. Is RBC a living cell? rbcs are living […]
How many electrons can cytochrome c accept?
How many electrons can cytochrome c accept? one electron What happens if cytochrome c is inhibited? Cyanide, azide, and carbon monoxide all bind to cytochrome c oxidase, inhibiting the protein from functioning and leading to the chemical asphyxiation of cells. NO and CN− will compete with oxygen to bind at the site, reducing the rate […]
How did Brahe actually die?
How did Brahe actually die? The famed 16th century Danish astronomer and mathematician Tycho Brahe was long assumed to have died from poisoning. Recently, archaeologists pored over his skeleton to reveal the real cause of his early death: a fatal combination of obesity, diabetes, and alcoholism. Does Tycho Brahe have a wax nose? In the […]
How many types of proteins are there?
How many types of proteins are there? Protein is the basic component of living cells and is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and one or more chains of amino acids. The three types of proteins are fibrous, globular, and membrane. How many proteins are there in humans? 400,000 proteins How many proteins are in […]
