Correct Answer: Earth
Explanation:
Earth is not a Jovian Planet as it is a Terrestrial planet.
A planet designated as Jovian is hence a gas giant, composed primarily of hydrogen and helium gas with varying degrees of heavier elements.
Within the Solar System, four Jovian planets exist ? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Though these planets vary in terms of size, mass, and composition, they all share certain characteristics that cause them to differ greatly from the terrestrial planets located in the inner Solar System.
Correct Answer: Photoautotrophs
Correct Answer: Dog
Correct Answer: Specific Epithet
Correct Answer: Tidal Waves
Correct Answer: Odontology
Explanation:
The study or scientific study of the structure, development, and abnormalities of the teeth is called Odontology. The science that studies teeth and their surrounding tissues, especially the prevention and cure of their diseases is called Dentology.
Correct Answer: TRUE
Correct Answer: Gamma
Explanation:
Cobalt therapy or cobalt-60 therapy is the medical use of gamma rays from the radioisotope cobalt-60 to treat conditions such as cancer.
Cobalt 60 is a synthetic radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. It is produced artificially in nuclear reactors.
Correct Answer: biochemical reactions involved in building cell molecules or breaking down molecules for energy
Explanation:
Metabolism (from Greek: ???????? metabol?, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination of nitrogenous wastes.
In brief, the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life is called metabolism.
Correct Answer: Specific enzymes breakdown proteins into amino acids
Explanation:
Protein digestion occurs in the stomach and duodenum in which 3 main enzymes:
1. Pepsin secreted by the stomach
2. Trypsin and
3. Chymotrypsin secreted by the pancreas
Break down food proteins into polypeptides that are then broken down by various exopeptidases and dipeptidases into amino acids.
