Can you please give me 10 examples of suckers?
The disks on the arms of an octopus are called suckers. A breast feeding baby is a sucker A leach is a sucker. Someone drinking through a straw is a sucker A plastic cup used to stick something to a wall is a sucker.
What household item are disks of copper-covered zinc?
The gypsum board that is used for home construction is an example of a disk of copper-covered zinc.
What makes magnets weaker or stronger lead or cobalt?
Cobalt will make a magnet stronger but, definitely NOT Lead. Cobalt is used to make Hard disks and other components for computers.
A plastic disks density is less than water but greater than oil if you put all three together in a glass container where would you see the plastic disk?
In between the oil and water.
What Plastic is a Dvd Case made of?
Somewhat oversimplifying it a DVD (or CD) is a sandwich of two outer layers of polycarbonate plastic with a microscopically thin layer of aluminum, tantalum, or a optically reflective low melting point plastic between the outer layers. Standard factory made read only disks use aluminum in this inner layer for durability, the writable disks use either tantalum or a plastic in this inner layer to permit writing with the LASER as well as reading (which is used depends on the method of writing used).
What are tiny biconcave disks that carry oxygen called?
Erythrocytes, more commonly known as red blood cells.
What appear as biconcave disks with edges?
Red blood cells have a circular biconcave shape to increase surface area to volume ratio for faster absorption of oxygen in the bloodstream.
What shape best describes a red blood cell?
Normal blood red cells are biconcave disks, approx. oval.
What transport oxygen and carry away carbon dioxide?
concave disks
What is the normal shape of the red blood cells?
Normal blood red cells are biconcave disks, approx. oval.
What are concave disks with a squashed in center that transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What are concave disks with a squashed-in center. they transport oxygen and carry away some carbon dioxide?
the Hemoglobin is a molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen and carbon dioxide
What shapes would most benefit red blood cells considering that RBCs are responsible for carrying oxygen from the lungs to all the various body tissues?
Overall, mammalian red blood cells are remarkably flexible and deformable so as to squeeze through tiny capillaries, as well as to maximize their apposing surface by assuming a cigar shape (called a stack), where they efficiently release their oxygen load. Red blood cells are deformable, flexible, are able to adhere to other cells, and are able to interface with immune cells. In humans, mature red blood cells are flexible and oval biconcave disks which gives them the ability to get through the tiniest capillaries. The red blood cells of mammals are typically shaped as biconcave disks: flattened and depressed in the center, with a dumbbell-shaped cross section, and a torus-shaped rim on the edge of the disk. This distinctive biconcave shape optimizes the flow properties of blood in the large vessels.
How do use red blood cells in a sentence?
Red blood cells, which look like little disks , carry oxygen from the lungs to all body parts.
How does the structure of the red blood cell relate to its function?
Shape (biconcave disks) - increases surface area, enhancing rate of diffusion of oxygen across their plasma membranesLack nuclei - leaves more space for hemoglobin (the protein that transports oxygen)Lack mitochondria (therefore anaerobic metabolsim) - more efficient as none of the oxygen that the cell is transporting is consumed by the cell(Source: Biology, 8th Edition, Campbell and Reece, Pearson International Edition, pg.912)
What appear as biconcave disks with edges that are thicker than the center of the cell looking somewhat doughnut shaped. They do not have a nucleus and are simple in structure?
This is a good description of a mature red blood cell.
The vertical stacks of disks are called?
GRANA is the answer to:vertical stacks of disks are called
