Explain why staying away from floodwater is important even when the water is shallow.

Biology

Floodwater is especially hazardess to health, due to all sorts of organic material mixing with it as well as not knowing if it had submerged any electrical transformers or lines.

Use the principles of diffusion to explain why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung diffuse into the blood because the concentration of oxygen in the lung's tissues is more than the concentration of oxygen in the blood.

Explanation:

Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the region of higher concentration of the molecule to the region of lower concentration of the same molecule. Molecules in diffusion move <em>downward the concentration</em> <em>gradient</em> created by difference in concentration between two regions until an <em>equilibrium (equal concentration in the two regions)</em> is established.

Oxygen molecules diffuse into the tissues of the lung when an organism breathes-in during the process of breathing. The molecules in the now oxygen-rich tissues eventually start diffusing into the blood in the lung because the blood passing through the lung is always de-oxygenated or has lower oxygen concentration compared to the tissues of the lung.

Oxygenated blood moves into the heart, pumps round the body by the heart, gets depleted of oxygen and eventually find its way back to the lung where the process is repeated.

Diffusion of oxygen from the tissues of the lung into the blood will keep happening as long as oxygen keeps getting dissolved into the lung's tissues and an equilibrium is yet to be established between the tissues and the blood.

Which processes are involved in the chloroplast of a plant cell?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Chloroplast absorbs sunlight and it is used to make feed for the plant together with water and carbon dioxide gas. Chloroplasts are used to generate the free energy stored in ATP and NADPH via a photosynthesis process.

Explanation:

The site of photosynthesis action is chloroplast within a plant cell consisting of two chlorophyll molecules (PS1 and PS2), which have been embedded in the thylakoid membranes. The chloroplast consists of two chlorophyll molecules (photosynthetic pigments responsible for the green color of chloroplast). Each chlorophyll molecule absorbs light, caused to depart the chlorophyll molecules. This absorbs two electrons from each phenotype. PS2 electrons pass through the transportation chain for electron carriers, a series of redox reactions that release the energy used to synthesize ATP via Photophosphorylation/Chemiosmose (as the H+ ions diffuse through the stalked particles ATP, which changes the shape and catalysts, the electrochemical gradient diffuses down through the stalky particle ATP synthase).

Then these electrons replace the electrons lost in PS1. PS2 electron is replaced by photolysis electron, which when light strikes chloroplast, splitting the water into oxygen gas, H+ ions, and electron enzymes in the thylakoid space are catalyzed. The PS1 electrons combine to create NADPH with H+ ions and NADP (reduced NADP). These are the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions in chloroplasts. In the light-independent reactions, the NADPH and ATP are created. A pile of thylakoids is known as granum.

The light-independent processes take happen in the stroma. This is the site of carbon fixation; CO2 reacts with RUBP to generate GP (glycerate-3-phosphate) which is catalyzed by the enzyme RUBISCO (the most abundant enzyme in the world) (the most abundant enzyme in the world). The NADPH and ATP from the light-dependent processes convert GP to GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate). Two out of every 12 GALP molecules produced are used to synthesize glucose that can be employed either in breathing or in cellulose-forming condensation polymerization to add extra strength to the planted cell wall. The other GALP molecules are returned to RUBP.

which type of molecule stores the main source of energy used by animals? a) lipids b) proteins c) glycogen d) starch
Flauer [41]

The correct answer is option C-glycogen

Glycogen is an immediate source of energy in animals. Glycogen is formed of small sub-units called glucose monomers. The process of formation of glycogen is called glycogenesis.  

Glycogen is animal equivalent to starch.  

When body need energy, the stored glycogen breaks down into small monomers called glucose and provide energy to the cell.  

The excessive amount of glycogen is stored in muscles and liver.
