Answer: b
An inherited modification of structure or function that allows an organism to survive and reproduce in its environment.
Explanation:
Adaptation helps an organism to become better suited to survive and reproduce in its environment. It is change in an organism's structure or behavior.
Change in physical features of an organism is considered as structural adaptation. Example- fur in bear
Change in the way an organism does things to survive is called behavioral adaptation. Example- bird calls and migration from one place to another.
Adaptation is an essential feature that helps an organism to better servive in the environment. In case, an organism fails to adapt to changes in its environment, its immune system becomes weak and fails to work. This threatens its life and it becomes ill. This may also result in its death.
Answer: Diffusion, Osmosis and Active Transport
Explanation:
The processes of transport between the cell and the external environment can be grouped into groups: Passive Processes - occur through the plasma membrane, without energy expenditure to the cell, to equalize cell concentration with the external medium. Examples of such processes are diffusion, facilitated diffusion and osmosis. Active processes - occur through the plasma membrane, with energy expenditure, maintaining the concentration difference between the cell and the external environment. For example, sodium-potassium pump. Diffusion In diffusion, particles move from the highest concentration medium to the lowest concentration medium, so that it can be distributed throughout the medium. Therefore diffusion is a process called passive transport. Facilitated Diffusion is the passive transport of substances across the plasma membrane, without wasting cell metabolic energy, allowing the passage of substrates (molecules or ions) from a more concentrated to a less concentrated medium through specific mediation of carrier proteins, enzymes carriers or permeases along the plasma membrane. This process is mainly used to transport carbohydrates, amino acids, vitamins and some ions: sodium, potassium, calcium. Osmosis is the name given to the movement of water between media with different concentrations of solutes separated by a semipermeable membrane. It is an important physicochemical process in cell survival.
The sodium-potassium pump is an example of active transport. Sodium concentration is higher in the extracellular environment while potassium is higher in the intracellular environment. Importantly, the energy required for this change comes from the breakdown of the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule into ADP (adenosine diphosphate) and phosphate. The sodium (Na +) ion in the cytoplasm is pumped out of the cell. In the extracellular medium, the potassium ion (K +) is pumped into the internal medium. If there was no efficient active transport, the concentration of these ions would equal. Thus, the sodium and potassium pump is important as it establishes the difference in electrical charge between the two sides of the membrane that is critical for muscle and nerve cells and facilitates the penetration of amino acids and sugars.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Range rule of thumb predicts the Range to be a multiple of 4 of the standard deviation or to be four times the standard deviation. Making the usual values equal to 2 standard deviations distanct of the mean of the data distribution.
In a given distribution with mean and standard deviation that is obtained, the usual values in mean (as seen in the attached image).
2*standard deviation and mean + 2*standard deviation.
If the data point is not up to the mean
- 2* standard deviation is taken to be significantly low.
If the data point is more than the mean
+ 2*standard deviation is taken to be significantly high.
Let's take the xbar to be the mean and s as standard deviaiton
Given,
mean, xbar = 1116.2
standard deviation, s =127.7
The range rule of thumb shows that the usual values are within 2 standard deviations from the mean
Lower boundary
= xbar - 2s
= 1116.2 - 2(127.7)
= 860.8
Upper boundary
= xbar + 2s
= 1116.2 + 2(127.7)
= 1371.6
We should note that 1411.6 is not between 860.8 and 1371.6, which connotes that 1411.6cm^3 is unusually high.
It’s called a solar system because solar means “relating to or determined by the sun” and system means “a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network” and the solar system is a whole bunch of planets and other things that are related to the sun and working together.
Answer:
Examples of cells that are produced through mitosis include cells in the human body for the skin, blood, and muscles.
Explanation:
In this case cells go through different phases called the cell cycle. The "normal" state of a cell is called the "interphase". The genetic material is duplicated during the interphase stage of the cell.
