Answer:

Yes. It's alive.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics of life, for something to be considered a living being, it needs to be able to reproduce, evolve, present metabolism, respond to stimuli, possess cells and have genetic material.

A bush in my yard has all these characteristics, since this bush is a vegetable, which indicates that it has cells and genetic material, which can be passed on to its descendants through the production of gametes for reproduction. In addition, this plant goes through the process of photosynthesis (metabolism), responds to stimuli (grows towards sunlight) and evolves through time.

Since each body cell under only mitosis to yield two daughter cells with equal number of chromosome as the parent cell (i.e diploid number, 2n) while sex cells undergo meiosis to yield four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell (i.e haploid number, n); thus, the wolf's body cells has 78 chromosomes while the gametes has 39 chromosomes.

Which solution of ethyl alcohol is more effective at inhibiting microbial growth: a 70% solution or a 100% solution? Why?
Triss [41]

Answer:

70% solution is more effective

Explanation:

The 70% solution is more effective at inhibiting microbial growth than the 100% solution of the ethyl alcohol.

This is because the pure ethyl alcohol coagulates the protein that is in contact with it.

Also, pure alcohol will tend to evaporate faster than the 70% solution of the ethyl alcohol and it will not be that much effective.

While ____ hormones can travel freely in the blood,_____ hormones require a carrier protein because they are not soluble in the
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

While <u>water soluble</u> hormones can travel freely in the blood, <u>lipid soluble </u>hormones require a carrier protein because they are not soluble in the aqueous plasma

Explanation:

The water-soluble hormones such as insulin are dissolved in the blood and are carried along with the blood to their target cells.  

However, lipid-soluble hormones such as steroid hormones (cortisol) and thyroxine are hydrophobic in nature. These hormones are not dissolved in water-based blood plasma. So, these lipid-soluble hormones are carried through the carrier proteins.
