Desacribe an experiment to prove that carbon dioxide is essential for photosynthesis ?

Biology

Take two healthy potted plants. Keep them in a dark room for 2-3 days. Now place each plant in a separate glass. Get a cup containing potassium hydroxide by the side of the plants (the potassium hydroxide is used to absorb carbon dioxide). COver both plants with separate jars. Seal the jars so that the set-up-is-air-tight. Keep the plants in sunlight for two hours. Gently pluck a leaf from each plant. remove the chlorophyll from the leaves by boiling them in alcohol. Wash the leaves with water and then pour iodine solution over them.

We can conclude that the photosynthesis cannot be carried out without carbon dioxide. the leaf from the plant (which was the jar containing potassium hydroxide, which absorbed the carbon dioxide) turns blue black on iodine solution showing that starch is presented in this lead.

so this shows that carbon dioxide is necessary for the processs of photosynthesis to take place

Function of nervous tissue​
iren [92.7K]
Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for coordinating and controlling many body activities. It stimulates muscle contraction, creates an awareness of the environment, and plays a major role in emotions, memory, and reasoning. To do all these things, cells in nervous tissue need to be able to communicate with each other by way of electrical nerve impulses. The cells in nervous tissue that generate and conduct impulses are called neurons or nerve cells. These cells have three principal parts: the dendrites, the cell body, and one axon.

1. How would the predation of pythons on rabbits affect the population of other large predators such as bobcats and alligators?
Inessa [10]

Q1:

Answer:

Studies have reported that due to predation of pythons on rabbits, the population of other predators is badly affected.

Bobcats are a natural predator of rabbits thus they come in a competition with pythons for food. As pythons are more powerful so they target rabbits more easily than Bobcats. The population of Bobcats has been declined by 90% or more due to the establishment of pythons in the Everglades.

<em>Alligator mississippiensis </em>or American alligators are also abundant in Everglades and just like Bobcats they compete with pythons for their food. They can even kill pythons if pythons are smaller in size than them, but python will kill alligator if he is of smaller size. Although rabbits are food for both alligator and Python but Alligator is a key stone specie and it has very important ecological role, because it digs holes in land that retain water upon rainfall. These water hole provide water in the extreme dry weather and help in survival of other small specie like insects and birds.

So, we can expect the population of Alligator, Bob cats and other small insects and birds to decline rapidly if Python population kept on increasing with same speed.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q2:

Answer:

There is no doubt that Pythons pose serious threat for both humans as well as survival of other organisms like Alligators and birds. However, I donot think that “Python challenge” is a reasonable way to kill or remove Pythons. Because It can threat the lives of many individuals who take part in competition, although they are trained but still they are nor professionals and get training of only few weeks so it is not safe competition.

There should be some strategy of introducing natural predators like Brown beers, Cougars and Alligators which can kill python naturally without staking the life of humans at risk.

Can a protein that is not part of the cell membrane diffuse through the membrane? If not, why?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Solutes dissolved in water on either side of the cell membrane will tend to diffuse down their concentration gradients, but because most substances cannot pass freely through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, their movement is restricted to protein channels and specialized transport mechanisms in the membrane. Although ions and most polar molecules cannot diffuse across a lipid bilayer, many such molecules (such as glucose) are able to cross cell membranes. ... Channel proteins form open pores through the membrane, allowing the free passage of any molecule of the appropriate size.t is the proteins, therefore, that give each type of membrane in the cell its ... Many extend through the lipid bilayer, with part of their mass on either side ..... Many hydrophobic membrane proteins can be solubilized and then purified in an active, if not entirely ..... Many Membrane Proteins Diffuse in the Plane of the Membrane.

hope this helps :)
