Answer:

When the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

When a population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for a gene then the allele frequencies with in a population remains the same across generation.

A population is considered to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium under the following assumptions -

a) When there is no mutation

b) When there occurs no random mating

c) When there is no gene flow

d) When the population size is finite or no genetic drift is happening

e) When there is no natural selection.

What happens when you eat more than your body needs for energy?

Talja [164]

Answer: When we regularly eat more kilo joules than our body needs, the spare energy is stored as fat. Eating as little as 100kJ extra each day (or burning 100kJ less by exercise), can lead to one kilogram of body fat creeping on over a single year.

Swimmers itch is an initial symptom of which of the following?A. tularemiaB. schistosomiasisC. Chagas diseaseD. Lyme diseaseE. m

bogdanovich [222]

Answer: B. schistosomiasis

Explanation:

Swimmer's itch is also called as cercarial dermatitis. It appears as a skin rash. It is typically an allergic reaction which is caused by a parasite.

Swimmer's itch is the symptom of Schistosomiasis. It is a disease which is also called as snail fever. It is caused by the parasitic flatworm called as schistosomes. This parasite infects the urinary tract and intestine in humans. Other symptoms include the diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloody stool and blood in the urine.

the diagram below represents two cells, x and y which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A ?

DaniilM [7]

The diagram below (attached image) represents two cells, X and Y.

Which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A?

A) It is involved in cell communication in cell X but not in cell y.

B) It represents a cell wall in cell X and the cell membrane in cell y.

C) It prevents the absorption of CO2 in cell x and O2 and cell y.

D) It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y

Cell membrane accomplishes several functions, among them, the removal of cell wastes. Option D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds the cell content and isolates it from the extracellular space. It is composed of two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

The cell membrane accomplishes many different functions. Among them, we can mention,

Isolation ⇒ It separates the intracellular content from the extracellular space.

Protection ⇒ It protects the interior of the cell from any damaging external factor that might affect its correct functioning.

Transport ⇒ It allows the selective pass of certain molecules or ions.

Substances interchange

⇒ Passive transport → Simple diffusion → through lipids

→ Facilitated diffusion → Assisted by channel

proteins

→ Does not need energy

→ Depends on the molecule size, the concentration

at each side of the membrane, and the charge of

the ions.

→ Occurs in favor of the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Active transport → It does the energy to occur

→ Mediated by carrier proteins

→ Transport big-sized molecules

→ Against the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Endocytosis/Exocytosis → Active transport mediated by vesicles.

Communication ⇒ By emission and reception of substances and molecules, the cell can communicate with other cells. This process is always mediated by membranes and their transport proteins or receptor proteins.

In the exposed example X cell represents an animal cell, and Y cell is a plant cell.

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

Among the options, the correct one is D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y

Write a paragraph about how

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.

Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.
