Water at 4 degrees centigrade has the highest density of all other water temperatures. This is why ice (whose temperature is below 0 degrees) floats on very cold water. This phenomenon is significant in the Artic and Antarctic where ice shelves float on cold ocean waters in the poles. Animals that live in these regions (such as seals and polar bears) use these ice shelves as hunting platforms.
Answer:
Postharvest physiology plays a fundamental role in extending the shelf-life and quality of plant products. An example of postharvest physiology methodologies is by reducing the temperature to improve shelf-life before consumption
Explanation:
Postharvest physiology refers to the methodologies used for extending shelf-life and quality, thus being a critical issue in food systems. Postharvest approaches include chemical treatments, temperature reduction, cleaning and disinfection methods, etc. Crop varieties are genetically selected in order to maintain nutritional qualities of stored seeds for a long time after harvest. These seeds are also controlled during storage by using postharvest handling practices (e.g., chemical and enzyme inhibitors that extend shelf life).
In photosynthesis of plants, the light gives energy to
the electrons moving through the electron transport chain. This Light energy is then converted to chemical energy, which
produces ATP; an energy storage molecule and NADPH, a reduced electron carrier.
Moreover, <span>light energy is used to pump protons across a membrane to
produce a proton-motive force.</span>
Answer: False, it is transported as bicarbonate
Explanation: Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme belonging to the family of metalloenzymes that catalyzes the conversion of carbon dioxide and water to ions and carbonic acid. This enzyme is found in red blood cells where carbon dioxide enters by diffusion. Once it diffuses through it is then converted by carbonic anhydrase to bicarbonate and hydrogen ions.
That is how its transported in bloodstream, passes through the heart via the venous system, to the lungs. Therefore the answer is False.
