Measuring photosynthesis via the production of oxygen. Oxygen can be measured by counting bubbles evolved from pondweed, or by using the Audus apparatus to measure the amount of gas evolved over a period of time.

Since carbon dioxide is used up during the process, and oxygen produced, the rate of photosynthesis can be measured directly, by measuring either the production of oxygen or the uptake of carbon dioxide. For instance, aquatic plants (plants in water) release oxygen bubbles during photosynthesis which can be measured.

For which of the following groups would the biological definition of species be useful? For which of the following groups would

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

B) oaks and other sexually reproducing, extant (currently living) trees

Explanation:

The biological species concept defines the species on the basis of their reproductive isolation. It states that when individuals are able to interbreed to produce fertile and viable progeny, they belong to the same species. The members of different biological species cannot interbreed. If they interbreed, either pre-zygotic or post-zygotic isolation mechanisms do not allow the production of fertile progeny.

Therefore, the biological species concept can be applied to the organisms that are able to reproduce sexually. The asexually reproducing organisms would not exhibit any reproductive isolation which is a key criterion to group organisms under different species. Among the given examples, biological species concept can be applied to the sexually reproducing extant trees such as oak.

Since we cannot deduce the reproductive isolation in sexually reproducing extinct species, the concept is not useful for dinosaurs which are extinct now.

What pH did you estimate for ammonia using the pHydrion paper?

klio [65]

Answer: Between 8 and 14

Explanation: Ammonia is an inorganic compound of formula NH₃. Also known as ammonium hydroxide, it behaves as a weak base.

pHydrion paper is a chemical test indicator, i.e., it indicates the pH of a substance.

If inserted in Ammonia, pHydrion will indicate a range of 8 to 14 because in pH scale, indication of base is over 8 and up to 14. The exact number depends on the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance.

Identify the subatomic particle that is NOT contained in the nucleus

yan [13]

The subatomic particles of protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons are particles with a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons, which have a negative charge, are particles that can found orbiting outside the nucleus of an atom.

A population of squirrels found in the Midwestern United States looks nearly identical to a population of squirrels found in Can

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The best way to determine if these populations form part of the same species is to study the existence of reproductive isolation between populations. Moreover, the result of an experiment based on the study of reproductive barriers may be complemented with molecular biology approaches that determine the level of sequence homology between populations
