Answer:

There are fewer collagen and elastic fibers in the reticular layer of the dermis as we age, contributing to wrinkling and increased susceptibility to tearing of the skin.  

Explanation:

As we age, environmental damage, such as ultraviolet radiation, and decreased ability of our fibroblasts to renew collagen and elastic fibers make our skin thinner and more vulnerable to mechanical trauma.

A researcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. One stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

A) The pollen grains will be pure red.

Explanation:

Plants have alternation of generations, this means that there are two different stages in their life-cycle: a sexual haploid (n) phase and an asexual diploid phase (2n). These phases occur in different individuals, so there is an haploid plant called gametophyte that carries gametes and after fecundation, it will rise a diploid sporophyte (asexual).  

In seed plants, the sporophyte is the plant that we normally see, and the gametophyte is reduced into an organ of the sporophyte. The male gametophyte is the pollen that is produced in the sporangium in anthers (parts of sporophyte).  When a pollen grain fecundes a female gametophyte (egg), it will produce a diploid embryo or new sporophyte.

Therefore, if the researcher exposes pollen to both stains, these grain will stain red, because red stain identifies gametophyte tissue.

Each atom of the element argon has 18 electrons. How many chemical bonds is one atom of argon likely to make with atoms of other
densk [106]
It won't. Argon is an element found in the Group 8A also called as the noble gases. They are called as such because they do not react with other elements because their electronic configuration is very stable. This is because they already obey the Octet rule, which has to do with eight electrons occupying around the element. So, it is very rare to have reaction involving any of the noble gases.

What is the main difference between active and passive transport?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

B)the energy required

Explanation:

The difference between active and passive transport is in the amount of energy they both require.

  • Active transport requires energy to move molecules such as ATP and ions against a concentration gradient.
  • Passive transport moves molecules from higher concentration region to one with lower concentration without requiring energy.

Energy is the ability to do work. In passive transport, energy is not used. But in active transport, energy is required.
