What provides the shortest-term mechanism for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body?

I believe that the chemical buffers provide the shortest term mechanisms for preventing acid-base imbalances in the body. Chemical buffers normally act within a fraction of a second to resist a pH change. On the other hand the longest mechanism is the kidney system which ordinarily requires from several hours to a day or more to affect changes in blood pH.

In petunias, some strains have flower petals that have a paler color compared to other strains. A true-breeding pale plant was p
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

It is maternal inheritance (cytoplasmic inheritance) of the gene for petal color.

Explanation:

In the given experiment, the color of the petal is regulated by maternal inheritance. In the first step, the true-breeding pale plant was pollinated by a true-breeding normal plant, therefore, all the F1 was identical in terms of petal color to the female plant (the true breeding pale plant).

In the second step, the F1 pale plants were pollinated by the true breeding normal plant. Again, the petal color in the progeny was determined that the female parent (the F1 pale plant). If true breeding normal plants will be pollinated by true breeding or F1 pale plant, the progeny will exhibit "normal phenotype" for petal color since the female plant has normal phenotype here.

Which of the following is not a possible source of energy for chemosynthetic organisms? a. oil b. hydrogen sulfide c. methane d.
sweet [91]

Answer:

A: Oil

Explanation:

Chemo synthesis is the biological conversion of one or more carbon-containing molecules (usually carbon dioxide or methane) and nutrients into organic matter using the oxidation of inorganic compounds (e.g., hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfide) or methane as a source of energy.

Bacteria living on the sea floor or within animals use energy stored in the chemical bonds of hydrogen sulfide and methane to make glucose from water and carbon dioxide.

Chemo synthetic bacteria are organisms that use inorganic molecules as a source of energy and convert them into organic substances. Chemo synthetic bacteria, unlike plants, obtain their energy from the oxidation.

So Oil is not a possible source of energy for Chemo synthesis.
