Okay so The most serious dangers of exposure to outer space are a lack of oxygen and ebullism. Ebullism is the formation of bubbles in body fluids due to a reduction in ambient pressure. The pressure in the vacuum of space is so low that the boiling point of the fluids in your body decreases below the body’s normal temperature (37oC), which results in the formation of gas bubbles in your fluids that can really mess you up. You’ll swell up pretty bad, perhaps even up to twice your normal size, but you won’t explode as your skin is very stretchy. Your blood will also not boil. You will, of course, be in an immense amount of pain and your blood circulation will be impeded. Therefore you will die in outer space due to no oxygen and the vacuum in space. Hope this answers your question.

The controlled release of cellular material stored in membrane-bound vesicles to the outside of the cell is an example of: Group

puteri [66]

Answer:

Exocytosis

Explanation:

Exocytosis refers to a cellular process in which the large molecules are transported out of the cell by the membrane-bound vesicles.

The process of exocytosis is an active process and is therefore driven by the ATP. The process of exocytosis is possible because of the fusion of the secretory vesicle with the plasma membrane which leads to the release of the material outside of the cell.

Thus, exocytosis is the correct answer.

A scientist is using a species of green algae to study electron transport chain in photosynthesis. He uses a laser to inactivate

diamong [38]

Answer:

The scientist done wrong by inactivating chlorophyll A and PS I.

Explanation:

The scientist done wrong by inactivate chlorophyll A and PS I. If he wants to study electron transport chain in photosynthesis, he needs chlorophyll A and PS I for that because the central role of chlorophyll A is to donate electron in the electron transport chain while on the other hand, the primary function of the photosystem I is the NADPH synthesis, where it receives the electrons for PS II.

Write four different between parenchyma and collenchyma?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

The major distinction between parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells is that parenchyma cells are engaged in photosynthesis, storage, and secretion, whereas collenchyma cells support and transport nutrients, and sclerenchyma cells support, protect, and transport water.

Mutation is an important mechanism for evolutionary change. Which type of mutations contribute to evolution?

rodikova [14]

Adaptations are the result of evolution in different living organisms. This process occurs amazingly through gene mutation but it takes a very long period in time. Adaptation processes occur to help species survive and thrive in the ecological balance of life. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism that adapted through time. An example of this are the bills of a bird and the fur of bears that they generally need for their survival; birds for hunting, and bears to protect them from low climate areas.

Functional or Behavioral adaptations refer to particular things that an organism or organisms do to survive. In the example above, behavioral adaptations that birds do is through certain bird calls and migration, while bears hunt during warmer seasons and hibernate during winter season.
