Answer:

The incorrect assertive is letter C. it forms pseudopodia for mobility.

Explanation:

The glycocalyx or glycocalyx is a wrapper outside the plasma membrane present in animal cells and some protozoa. The term glycocalix derives from the Greek glykys, sugar, and the Latin calyx, bark, a sugar peel. It consists of lipid-associated carobhydrates, commonly called glycolipids, and protein-associated caroboidates, called glycoproteins.

According of all functions we have about glicocalix, the assertive letter C is the only is not a function about this structure. The other ones, like allows bacteria to stick to a host or the environment, biofilm formation and protection a bacteria about the drying out process are function of the glycocalix.

Assume that the red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with a mean of 4.577 million cells per microliter and a

postnew [5]

Answer: C. 82.26%

Explanation:

Given : The red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with

$\mu=4.577\text{ million cells per microliter}$

$\sigma=0.382\text{ million cells per microliter}$

Let X be the random variable that represents the red blood cell counts of randomly selected woman.

Z-score : $z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X=4.2

$z=\dfrac{4.2-4.577}{0.382}\approx-0.99$

For X=5.4

$z=\dfrac{5.4-4.577}{0.382}\approx2.1544$

Now, the probability that the women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter will be :-

$P(4.2$

Hence, 82.26% of women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter.

What are two of the processes that move tectonic plates over the surface of earth

mestny [16]

Tectonic plates float on amass of melted lava. its very hot and produces gases. these gases tend to move the plates with the compression becomes very high and the gases do not find an exit.the other reason is the plates themselves tend to move. because of the temprature gradient. the plates are hotter on the lower side which forces the plates to move up. and they are colder on the outside,which forces the plates to move downward..this is the other reason why the plates move
