<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
We can easily move the box from a ground floor though to the first floor at an angle of 40° to the horizontal by simply pushing the load through an inclined plane. We will simply be lean the inclined plane on the building at the required angle and the push through the the height of the building.
Based on the explanation above, the best type of simple machine to use is an INCLINED PLANE. <em>Note that the essence of using a machine is simply to make our work easier and faster and also be able to overcome a much larger load with a minimal effort. </em>
Answer:
External respiration: CO2 diffuses into the blood
Explanation:
External respiration is also called the pulmonary gas exchange. It refers to the diffusion of O2 from the air in the alveoli of the lungs to blood in pulmonary capillaries and diffusion of CO2 in the opposite direction from the capillary blood into the alveolar air. External respiration in the lungs is responsible for oxygenation of deoxygenated blood coming from the right side of the heart. The oxygenated blood is then returned to the left side of the heart.
Some species of penguins, such as chinstrap penguins, depend on open water for their survival. Other species of penguins, such as Adélie penguins, depend on ice. Over the last 20 years, the population size of chinstrap penguins has increased, and the population size of Adélie penguins has decreased. An increase in global air and water temperatures likely caused <span>these changes in population size.</span>
Answer:
The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.
Explanation:
Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.
Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.
