An elderly woman finds that her back hurts almost all the time. Her doctor tells her it is because she has osteoporosis. Why might a disease that causes her bones to thin make her back hurt?

A) The bones of her vertebrae have lost calcium and crumbled enough to begin pinching the nerves leaving her spinal cord.
B) The muscles in her back are slowly destroyed as the bones of her vertebrae get thinner and collapse.
C) The motor neurons inside the bones of her vertebrae send pain messages to her brain as the bone dissolves.
D) Her bones cannot support her skin and muscles adequately, and so the muscles cramp and hurt.

Answer:  In general, the surface temperatures decreases with increasing distance from the sun. Venus is an exception because its dense atmosphere acts as a greenhouse and heats the surface to above the melting point of lead, about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471 degrees Celsius)

Answer:

a. 0.5 grams b. 0.25

Explanation:

Just use the half-life formula(I linked it below)

a. 4(1/2)^90/30=1/2

b. 4(1/2)^120/30=1/4

A. 0.5 grams is left unchanged after 90 days.

B. 0.25 grams is left unchanged after 120 days.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive isotope to decay. It is stable in specific radioactive isotopes. It is unaffected by circumstances. It is also independent of the initial amount of that isotope.

It can be find out by this formula:-

[tex]N=N_o (1/2)^n\\\\[/tex]

where, N=  quantity of the substance remaining

[tex]N_o[/tex]= initial quantity of the substance

n= number of half lives

For above given example,

Given that radioactive element X has a half-life 30 days

Hence the number (n) of half-lives in 90 days

n=90/30

n=3

The amount N of radioactive element X left after n=3 half-lives with initial amount [tex]N_o[/tex]=4 gm

[tex]N=N_o (1/2)^n\\\\\\N= 4 (1/2)^3\\N= 4(1/8)\\N= 0.5 gms\\\\\\[/tex]

For 120 days, n=120/30

so, n= 4

Then,

[tex]N=4(1/2)^4\\N=4(1/16)\\N=0.25 gms[/tex]

Thus, A. 0.5 grams is left unchanged after 90 days.

B. 0.25 grams is left unchanged after 120 days.

Answer:

Los alimentos son nuestro combustible y sus nutrientes proporcionan a las células del cuerpo la energía y las sustancias que necesitan para funcionar. Pero, antes de que los alimentos puedan hacer eso, los debemos digerir, descomponiéndolos en trozos pequeños para que nuestros cuerpos los puedan absorber y aprovechar.

El primer paso del proceso digestivo tiene lugar antes de que ni tan siquiera probemos la comida. Con solo oler una tarta de manzana casera o pensar en lo delicioso que va a saber un tomate maduro, empezamos a salivar, y el proceso digestivo se inicia preparándonos para ese primer bocado.

Casi todos los animales tienen un sistema digestivo en forma de tubo, donde los alimentos:

entran por la boca

pasan por un largo tubo

salen del cuerpo en forma de heces (caca) a través del ano

A lo largo del camino, se descomponen en moléculas diminutas para que el cuerpo pueda absorber los nutrientes que necesita:

Las proteínas se deben descomponer en aminoácidos.

Los almidones se descomponen en azúcares simples.

Las grasas se descomponen en ácidos grasos y glicerol.

Los residuos que el cuerpo no puede aprovechar son los que salen del cuerpo en forma de heces.

Answer:

if the nucleotide insertion occurs within the coding region of a gene (frameshift mutation), then it will change the open reading frame (ORF) of the resulting protein and thus also will alter the phenotype of the individual  

Explanation:

A mutation is any change in the DNA sequence of the genome of a cell/organism. A point mutation is a genetic mutation where a single nucleotide is inserted, deleted or changed from the original DNA sequence. The insertion of a single nucleotide in the coding region of a gene is called frameshift mutation since this nucleotide base shifts the way the DNA sequence is read. A frameshift mutation changes the meaning of the codons that follow the inserted nucleotide base and thereby protein function is generally lost, thereby also affecting the resulting phenotype associated with this protein.

Answer:

Gg x Gg

Explanation:

Gg x Gg crosses would be expected to produce the greatest variety of genotypes among the offspring.

A Punnett square is defined as a graphical representation of the possible genotypes of the offspring resulting from a particular cross or breeding event. Creating a Punnett square requires knowledge of the genetic makeup of the parents.

For a monohybrid cross, Punnett squares are 2X2 squares containing four boxes where each represents a fertilization event between the original gametes. While the second type is used to predict the outcome of breeding experiments where two traits are being observed and the Punnett square is large with sixteen boxes.

In the above example, if a Gg x Gg cross occurs, the genotype for the children will be Gg, which would be expected to produce the greatest diversity of genotypes among the offspring, i.e. 100%.

Thus, Gg x Gg crosses would be expected to produce the greatest variety of genotypes among the offspring.

Answer:

Due to over-pumping of water.

Explanation:

The aquifer around the Los Angeles are in California could be susceptible to an impact by a Tragedy of the Commons because the people used more water than the aquifer receives. The excess use of water from the aquifer through the well causes depletion of water which results in the shortage of water to fulfill the needs of existing population so it is wise to use water efficiently and used lower or equal water the aquifer receives in order to maintain level of aquifer.

Answer:

The mass of a tree is primarily carbon. The carbon comes from carbon dioxide used during photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy which is captured within the bonds of carbon molecules built from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water.

Answer:

The stable, end stage of ecological succession in which the plants and animals of a community use resources efficiently and balance is maintained by disturbances such as fire. The ultimate goal of ecological succession. After a natural disaster and continues until a climax community is reached.

Explanation:

The ultimate role of ecological succession in an environment is to reach the equilibrium in an ecosystem.

This event involve in the steady and gradual change in a species of a given area with respect to the changing environment is called as ecological succession.

The changes are inevitable process where all biotic components of the ecosystem keep up with the changes in our environment.

This process ultimately reach equilibrium in the ecosystem and the community that achieves this referred as a climax community, where some species increase in number and others decrease.

The communities that undergo changes sequentially in an area is called sere, so it is also called as seral stage or seral community.

Evolution has taken place simultaneously with that of ecological succession, so all the communities we observe are the result of ecological succession.

Answer:

C. a distant luminous object travels rapidly away from an observer.

Explanation:

Option C is the correct answer.

Redshift is actually observed when a distant luminous object travels rapidly away from an observer.

In redshift, observers actually see an object that is travelling away from them and it has longer wavelength. The opposite is the blueshift where observers see a light traveling towards them  and shifted to shorter wavelength.

In astronomy, redshift takes place when the object's visible light travels towards the red end of the spectrum.

A red shift is observed when a luminous object is moving rapidly away from the observer.

A red shift refers to a shift to a longer wavelength. It is observed when a luminous object is moving away from an observer. This is different from a blue shift where the luminous object is moving towards the observer.

Hence, in astronomy, a red shift is observed when a luminous object is moving rapidly away from the observer.

Explanation:

The conclusion of the data is that the nuclei of gametes and somatic cells are similar to each other because both performs same function in the cell i.e. regulates activities of the cell. The nuclei of somatic or skin cells work efficiently in the egg cells due to similar composition and structure of nuclei that performs similar function in the cell so that's why injection of skin cell's nuclei into egg cells results the same i.e. formation of tadpoles.

Answer: Measurement of the amount of waste produced.

Explanation:

Measurement of the amount of waste produced is the independent variable for a controlled experiment in this case. Therefore, the correct statement is option B.

The independent variable is the variable that can be changed in a controlled experiment. In this case, the researcher can manipulate the amount of waste produced followed by observation of its effect on the ecological footprint.

The researcher can manipulate the amount of waste by changing the factors such as the type of waste produced, recycling facilities available, etc. under controlled conditions.

Once the independent variable is manipulated, the researcher can observe its effect on the dependent variable. In this case, the ecological footprint of the individual is a dependent variable. The dependent variable is the variable that can be affected by the independent variable and is measurable.

Therefore, the measurement of the amount of waste produced is the independent variable for a controlled experiment.
