a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.
b. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into two bands, one that appears blue and one that appears red.
c. Paper chromatography would produce a single band of pigment that is characteristic of that particular plant.

Answer:

a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.

Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.

<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>

The correct option is a.

Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells , including cancer cells ,skin cells, Gastro intestinal cells, blood cells etc.

Explanation:

  • Chemotherapy refers to use of chemicals to treat diseases like, cancer.
  • This procedure involves the use of cytotoxic chemicals that inhibit mitosis.
  • Drugs used in Chemotherapy principally target fast growing cells of the body .
  • Thus along with cancer cells these drugs also effect normal body cells such as , blood cells, skin cells etc.
  • Damage to blood cells weakens the immune system and the patient is susceptible to other diseases also.
  • To avoid such situation chemotherapy is accompanied with other combination medicines.
  • Even after having several side effects chemotherapy is suggested as most suitable treatment to reduce symptoms of most type of cancer because it involves the introduction of drugs into the blood and thus can be targeted to any anatomical location in the body.

Darwin noticed that many organisms seemed well suited to
Elanso [62]

Answer:

survive in their environment

Explanation:

According to Darwin's theory of evolution, natural selection is the main mechanism. Darwin explains that organisms that have heritable traits that help them survive and reproduce, will be favorable by natural selection. Those favorable traits will enable organism to better adapt to their environment and to pass more genes on to the next generation (offspring).

Organisms adapt to their environment by changing their behavior, structural traits or physiology as a response to environmental change, so that they become well suited to it.

In humans, what muscle is homologous to the serratus ventralis found in cats
Nat2105 [25]
The Serratus anterior in man is homologous to the Serratus ventralis  muscle in the cat. The Serratus anterior is a muscle that originates on the surface of the 1st to 8th ribs at the side of the chest and insects along the entire anterior length of the medial border of the scapula. The Serratus anterior acts to pull the scapula forward around the thorax. Serratus ventralis in the cats looks like fingers because it attaches to the ribs, but has nothing to attach to between the ribs.
