Answer:

Through this experiment we study the process of photosynthesis.

• In the begining the leaf disks's tissue has oxygen, this allows them to float.

• Then, in the experiment we infiltrate the leaf disks with a solution that has bicarbonate, and as a result their density changes (it increases) and so the leaf disks sink.

• Once the disks are on the bottom and we direct the light to them the process of photosynthesis starts, being the bicarbonate the source of carbon for the process.

• As we know a product of the photosynthesis proces is oxygen, so when it is released into the leaf disks the overall density changes again and the disks rise.

So as we can see, in this experiment the purpose of the bicarbonate is being the source of carbon for the process of photosynthesis that occurs in the leaf disks.

Use the normal ecg trace below to determine how many seconds the trace represents as well as the heart rate.

mezya [45]

Attached is the image of the concerned ECG reading.

In reading the ECG, first you read the heart rate. To read the heart rate, you must count for the number of small boxes in between QRS complexes, specifically R-R intervals. These number of small boxes will then be used to divide 1500. In this example, there are 20 small boxes between R-R intervals. 1500 divided by 20 is 75, so the heart rate of this ECG reading is 75 beats per minute.

<em>Another way, albeit less accurate, is to count the big squares between R-R intervals and instead of dividing it by 1500, you divide it by 300.</em>

Why did the xyy chromosome theory fall out of favor as an explanation for criminal behavior?

exis [7]

XYY disorder is a hereditary condition in which a human male has an additional male (Y) chromosome, giving an aggregate of 47 chromosomes rather than the more regular 46. The "XYY" chromosome hypothesis drop out of support as a clarification for criminal conduct is on account of thought most lawbreakers don't have XYY and everybody with XYY is not a criminal

What two body system does endrocrine system rely on to generate and transport signal

Eduardwww [97]

Circulatory system
The circulatory system is the transport system for endocrine information. While the nervous system uses neurons, the endocrine chemicals and hormones must circulate through the body via blood vessels. Many glands in your body secrete hormones into the blood.
