Answer:
Explanation:
Fish have scales for many reasons. Firstly, to protect the skin of the fish from attacks from predators, parasites and other injuries. Secondly, scales overlap each other in the same way that an armour would protect a person. Hence, providing a layer of protection for the fish.
Answer:
Option A 400 individuals
Explanation:
Using this formula, we can estimate the population size of the canvas backs as this is a capture-recapture method.
N = (MxC) / R
Where N = estimated Number of individuals in the population
M = number of individuals captured and Marked = 200
C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark) = 200 and
R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark) = 100
Thus, we have
N = (MxC) / R
= (200 x 200) / 100
= (40,000) / 100
= 400 individuals.
Answer:
The minimum mass of dissolved cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is:
<em>GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect borderline high levels of dissolved cholesterol (170, to 200. mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 250 μL Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.</em>
Explanation:
Range of the equipment to detect cholesterol in blood = 170.0 to 200.0 mg/dL
Minimum amount of cholesterol that can be detected by instrument = 170 mg/dL
Volume of blood sample = 250 <em>μ</em>L= 0.0025 dL (1 dL = 100000 <em>μL)</em>
Amount of dissolved cholesterol in 250 <em>μL</em> sample of blood =
170 mg/dL * 0.0025 dL = 0.425 mg
The minimum mass of cholesterol that the new system must be able to detect is 0.43 milligrams.
I had the same question and the answer was C OR A.
Inside of plants, there are xylem cells that carry water and minerals from the roots, to the leaves, when the food then gets dispersed to the rest of the plant. This is similar to the human circulatory system but there isn't a heart pumping blood around. Hope this helps :)
