Answer:

The correct answer is option D) "response to external stimuli".

Explanation:

The phenomenon of tree shedding their leaves during the autumn months is an example of plants response to external stimuli. The deciduous trees start shedding their leaves when light levels and temperatures drop, as a result of the flow of auxin being reduced and the levels of the hormone ethylene rise in the leaves. This process allows the trees to survive winter by conserving resources and protecting from being blown by the winds.

D
This would make the most sense it my opinion because the temperature can play a huge factor in if a tree sheds its leaves or not.

Predict what would happen to typical animal cells placed in 0.0M and 1.0M sucrose solutions, and explain your prediction. The an
Softa [21]

Answer:

The animal cell will take in water until it eventually swells or burst

Explanation:

Osmosis is an important phenomenon that drives the movement of water across membranes. It is defined as the movement of water molecules from a region of high water concentration/low solute concentration to a region of low water concentration/high solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane.

In this case, the animal cell with a molar concentration of 2.0M is placed in 0.0M and 1.0M sucrose solutions. This means that the cell is placed in an hypotonic solution (solution with low solute concentration), hence, water will move from the extracellular solution into the animal cell since the solute concentration in the cell is more. The animal cell will begin to swell and eventually burst.

What type of container is best for protecting the riboflavin content of milk
Arisa [49]

Answer: Cardboard containers are best for protecting the riboflavin content of milk.

Riboflavin or vitamin B2 acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of flavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide. The riboflavin is destroyed by irradiations and ultraviolet rays and therefore the milk is sold in opaque containers which are stable to heat. The tetra pack used now days is made up of cardboard and best suitable for using as a container to protect the riboflavin content of the milk.

A Kelvin (K) is a unit of measurement in the International System of Units. Which quantity is measured in Kelvin?
RSB [31]
The quantity that is measured in Kelvin is temperature.

Most of the time, especially in chemistry, they must convert Celsius into kelvin by adding 273.15 to Celsius. K = C + 273.5

Hope this helps!
