Imagine that a plant cell has a damaged large central vacuole that is not functioning. which statement best describes how damage

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

The primary function of the large central vacuole in a plant cell is to maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall of the plant. This vacuole also perform other functions such as storage (water and other nutrients) and waste disposal. When this vacuole is damaged in plant cells, the cells may no longer be able maintain turgor pressure and store materials (water inclusive). Also, If the cell cannot store raw materials via the large central vacuole, the chloroplast will lack the raw materials required for photosynthesis.

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1 of interphase, then how many picograms of DNA would be pr

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell cycle is composed of three states: interphase, cell division and resting.

The interphase is composed of 3 phases: G1, S and G2 (in this order). During this state the cell prepares itself for cell division. As part of the preparation the cell duplicates all its genetic material, that is, all its chromosomes. This duplication is done during the phase S.

During the meiotic cell division (composed of meiosis 1 and meiosis 2) a single diploid mother cell (with duplicated chromosomes) produces four haploid daughter cells. the meiosis 1 produces two haploid cells with duplicated chromosomes, and the meiosis 2 produces 4 haploid cells with normal chromosomes (no duplicated).

If a germ-line cell from a frog contains 10 picograms of DNA during G1, then this cell will have 20 picograms of DNA before the product of the first meiotic division, and will have 10 picograms at the begining of the meiosis 2 (i.e prophase II)

Use the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your calorie needs. Show your calculations to explain how you arrived at your answe

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The Harris Benedict Equation is a formula that determines the total daily energy expenditure (calories) using BMR with some activity factors.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is defined as the amount of calories one would burn without doing anything for 24 hours. It uses variables of weight, age, height and gender to calculate BMR.

BMR calculation = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)

In Harris Benedict Equation, BMR is multiplied by activity factor to determine calories need.

The activity factors in Harris Benedict Equation are:

for no exercise = 1.2

exercise for 1 to 3 days/week or light exercise = 1.375

exercise for 3-5 days/week or moderate exercise = 1.55

exercise for 6-7 days a week or hard exercise = 1.725

exercise for 2 times training = 1.9

So, calculation for my calorie needs is as following:

BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x 50 kg) + (3.098 x 164.592 cm) - (4.330 x 23 in years) = 974.945

Calorie needs = BMR x 1.55

= 974.945 x 1.55

= 1511.16 calories
