Ans.

'Retaining water' can defined as to retain or keep water in the body for a longer time, while 'acquiring water' is a process to obtain water, such as by drinking. Desert animals face water scarcity as desert climate shows hot and dry climate. They acquire most of necessary water from their food, such as from succulent seeds or plants, blood or other body tissues of prey. Desert animals show various mechanisms to prevent water loss from body and to retain water for longer time. These mechanisms involve excretion of concentrate urine (with less water) and low perspiration, due to no or less sweat glands.

A desert is an area where there is very little amount of water available.Due scarcity of water it is very difficult for plants and animals to survive. Only those animals which need little amount of water can survive in the desert  

During the day, desert animals hide themselves in the bushes, whenever there is rain , the animals store water in their bodies. The loss of water from sweat and urine among these animals is minute. Most animals get water from the plants they eat or from the blood of their target/victim

Does anyone know what cells are in the respiratory system
tangare [24]

Answer:

The respiratory epithelium in trachea and bronchi is pseudostratified and primarily consists of three main cell types – cilia cells, goblet cells, and basal cells. The ciliated cells are located across the apical surface and facilitate the movement of mucus across the airway tract.

Where is ATP made in the chloroplast? What other activated carrier is produced in the space?
miskamm [114]

Answer:

The correct answer will be -

1. ATP production- Thylakoid membrane

2. Activated carrier- NADPH.

Explanation:

The photosynthesis reactions take place in the chloroplast which is divided into three membranes: outer, inner and thylakoid membrane. The light-dependent reactions take place in the thylakoid membrane which helps in the production of ATP molecules along with the activated carrier molecule called NADPH.  

The ATP molecule is synthesized by the ATP synthase enzyme located in the thylakoid membrane where electron transport chain produces a gradient of protons. These protons help in the production of ATP synthesis explained through the chemi-osmotic model.

Thus, the Thylakoid membrane and the NADPH are the correct answer.

Lizette and her husband had her ova fertilized with his sperm in a laboratory and then implanted in her uterus. what form of ass
RideAnS [48]

In virto fertilization form of assisted reproductive technology.

<h3>IVF: Is the process painful?</h3>

It is comparable to a pap smear or even a vaginal ultrasound appointment. During this technique, an embryo transfer catheter and ultrasound guidance are used to transfer one or more embryos to the uterus. The entire operation will be visible to you on an ultrasound screen. This procedure is painless.

<h3>What distinguishes IVF from in vitro fertilization?</h3>

An IVF procedure involves surgically removing a woman's eggs from her ovaries and fertilizing them in a lab with sperm from a male partner or a sperm donor to produce embryos. (The term "in vitro" refers to the act of fertilizing an egg in a laboratory dish and is derived from the Latin meaning "in glass").

Explanation:

Shotgun sequencing is a method used to determine the nucleotide sequence of entire chromosomes/genomes. This sequencing method consists of obtaining random DNA fragments which are subsequently classified by bioinformatic tools that ordering them according to overlapping sequences called contigs. In the whole-genome shotgun (WGS) technique, the entire genome of an organism is sequenced, being the critical factor the depth of sequencing, which refers to the quality of the sequencing reads (e.g., a depth of 20X indicates that the genome is sequenced 20 times by a sequencing machine). For the human genome, WGS became available after the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP), which enabled the generation of a reference sequence for the whole human genome. The steps of the WGS technique are the following:

1. Preparation of isolated chromosomes

2. The DNA is sheared into small fragments

3. The DNA fragments of about 1 kilobase (1000 base pairs) are incorporated into plasmids which are cloned to render pure samples of each DNA fragment

4. The plasmid clones are sequenced by sequencing machines

5. Bioinformatic tools finally are used to link DNA fragments by their overlapping ends
