A hydrometer is an instrument that measures the specific gravity (relative density) of liquids. The ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water. A hydrometer is usually made of glass, and consists of a cylindrical stem and a bulb weighted with mercury or lead shot to make it float

Which of the following statements is true about the glycocalyx? Check All That Apply
olga nikolaevna [1]

From the options, the true statements about glycocalyx are : ( 1 ) and ( 3 )

  • All animal cell have a glycocalyx ( 1 )
  • The glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another ( 3 )

Glycocalyx is a layer of macromolecules  attached to the cell membrane of cells. they perform several functions like protecting the cell from the entrance of pathogens and also providing a medium for cell to cell interaction.

Glycocalyx are found in cells of living organisms, and they are made up of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and glycoproteins as well. hence they are not comprised mostly of proteins.

Hence we can conclude that the true statements about glycocalyx are : All animal cell have a glycocalyx and the glycocalyx helps one cell adhere to another

Carbohydrates must be consumed every 3 to 4 hours to prevent depletion of the glucose in our blood.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: option B) False

Explanation:

The body relies on SEVERAL sources for its energy or glucose supply.

Firstly, understand that Glucose could be supplied from the following:

Glycogenolysis (Glycogen break down induced by Glucagon)

Amino acids metabolism (once amine group is removed)

Fatty acid oxidation.

All of the pathways mentioned can directly or indirectly yeild GLUCOSE, thus making it UNNECESSARY for Carbohydrate meals to be consumed every 3 to 4 hours.

Therefore, the answer is False

Which type of mutation results in a frameshift mutation? Check all that apply.
Ede4ka [16]
You don't show the picture, but I can give you an overview.
A frameshift mutation is anything that puts the regular order of 3 nucleotides (a codon) out of it's norm. If these things happen, then you get a frameshift.
Note: This occurs in the gene - not outside of the coding sequence:
1. Loss of a single basepair (perhaps the A in bold):
ATG AAA ATT CTG CCC T...
ATG AAA TTC TGC CCT ....
The codons after AAA are now completely different so this will result in a different amino acid pattern and thus a completely different polypeptide (protein) that may nor may not be functional.
2. Loss of two basepairs (so perhaps 2 of the A's)
ATG AAA ATT CTG CCC T...
ATG AAT TCT GCC CT....
3. Gain of 1 base pair will also cause problems:
ATG AAA ATT CTG CCC T...
ATG AAA AAT TCT GCC CT...
4. Gain of 2 base pairs will also cause problems:
ATG AAA ATT CTG CCC T...
ATG AAA AAA TTC TGC CCT...

Name the tissue in which water is transported to the leaves
LuckyWell [14K]

In vascular plant, Xylem is one of the two tissue involve in transport water from roots to stems and leaves and also transports nutrients.

Two types of cells of this tissue are tracheids and vessel elements which are involved in transport.

<h3>What is the function of xylem ?</h3>

Xylem  and phloem are known are two major vascular tissue.

Xylem tissue  involve in transport of water and some nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

Phloem tissue involve transport of  sucrose and other nutrients throughout the plant.

The passive transport called xylem sap occur through a long tube xylem cells.

The phenomenon where the xylem sap allow the flow upwards against gravity is called capillary action.
