I assume you are not familiar with this topic. I suggest you read more about this protein from online books or ur own book if you have. 
White blood cell = its a cell just like the name suggests, in fact, more like its a family of cell types that are responsible for immunity and some other functions (it doesnt look like you need to know the details on other functions so just stick with immunity) 
Platelets = these are not really cells, but you can say they are sorta like bits of cells, they contain important protein(s) for blood clotting and surely they themselves play important role in blood clotting which prevents us from bleeding to death when we get a cut for example. 
Plasma = this is part of blood, excluding red blood cells and white blood cells, its basically fluid with nutrients, ions and most importantly blood proteins, such as carrier ones like Albumin. 

The only one left is Hemoglobin,
heme is the iron part (which is not really iron alone but thats the only one u need to know) 
and globin is the protein part 
these two make up hemoglobin 
so this complex resides inside red blood cells, which flow in our vessels to every part of our body supplying them with nutrients and oxygen taken from our capillary system of lungs.

30 POINTS!!! PLZZZ HELP
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Igneous rocks form when magma (molten rock) cools and crystallizes, either at volcanoes on the surface of the Earth or while the melted rock is still inside the crust.

Sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification. Erosion and weathering include the effects of wind and rain, which slowly break down large rocks into smaller ones.

Metamorphic rocks form when rocks are subjected to high heat, high pressure, hot mineral-rich fluids or, more commonly, some combination of these factors.

A breeder is trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers. In this population, the mean time to flowerin
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The next generation average time to flowering will be 98 days.

Explanation:

Before answering the question, we need to know a few concepts.

  • Artificial selection is the selecting practice of a specific group of organisms in a population -that carry the traits of interest- to be the parents of the following generations.  
  • Parental individuals carrying phenotypic values of interest are selected from the whole population. These parents interbreed, and a new generation is produced.  
  • The selection differential, SD, is the difference between the mean value of the trait in the population (X₀) and the mean value of the parents, (Xs). So,  

SD = Xs - X₀

  • Heritability in the narrow-sense, h², is the genetic component measure to which additive genetic variance contributes. The heritability might be used to determine how the population will respond to the selection done, R.  

h² = R/SD

  • The response to selection (R) refers to the metric value gained or lost from the cross between the selected parents. R can be calculated by multiplying the heritability h², with the selection differential, SD.  

R = h²SD  

R also equals the difference between the new generation phenotypic value (X₁) and the original population phenotypic value (X₀),  

R = X₀ - X₁

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that we know these concepts and how to calculate them, we can solve the proposed problem.

<u>Available data:  </u>

  • trying to decrease the maturation time in a population of sunflowers.
  • the population mean time to flower is 100 days → X₀
  • Chosen parental Plants mean flowering time is 90 days → Xs
  • the narrow-sense heritability for flowering time is 0.2 → h²

According to what we sow previously, we need to find out the value of X₁, which reflects the next generation average time to flowering.

  • We know that R = X₁ - X₀, so we need to clear this formula to calculate X₁

X₁ = R + X₀

We already know that X₀ = 100 days,  

Now we need to calculate R.  

  • R = h²SD

We know that h² = 0.2,  

Now we need to calculate SD

  • SD = Xs - X₀

Xs = 90 days → Parentals media flowering time

X₀ = 100 → Population media flowering time

SD = Xs - X₀  

SD = 90 - 100  

SD = - 10 days

Knowing this, we can calculate R

  • R = h²SD

o h² = 0.2  

o SD = - 10

R = 0.2 x (-10)

R = - 2

  • Finally, once we know the R-value we can calculate the X₁ value

X₁ = R + X₀

X₁ = - 2 + 100

X₁ = 98

Camille and her friends enjoy experimenting with different foods. During a camping trip, they decide to fry bacon using nothing
Fantom [35]
<span>The two sentences that accurately describe the girls' experience with heat transfer are "Camille heats a rock in the campfire for 30 minutes, and then removes it with tongs. She greases the rock and lays the bacon strips directly on it." By heating the rocks in the campfire and laying the bacon on the rocks, the girls transferred the heat from the fire to the rocks, and the heat from the rocks to cook the bacon.</span>
