Answer: a. Stomata open at Night

Explanation:

As a tactic to minimize photorespiration in warm regions, many water-storing plants such as cacti and pineapples modified its method of carbon fixation. This process is called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM), following the plant family Crassulaceae, in which it was first identified. In these plants, the stomata (singular, stoma), specialized openings in the leaves of all plants through which CO2 enters and water vapor is lost, open during the night and close during the day. This model of stomatal opening and closing is the opposite of that in most plants.

A heterozygous white rabbit is crossed with a black rabbit. What is the probability of getting black rabbit offspring?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

1/2 or 50%

Explanation:

<em>From the illustration, we will logically assume that the white allele is dominant over the black allele. Let us also assume that the white allele is represented by A, the alternate black allele will be a. </em>

The heterozygous white rabbit will have the genotype Aa.

The black rabbit will have the genotype aa.

Crossing the two rabbits together:

               Aa    x    aa

            Aa   Aa   aa   aa

<em>1/2 Aa - white color </em>

<em>1/2 aa - black color</em>

Hence, the probability of getting a black rabbit offspring is 1/2 or 50%

Which lipoprotein picks up cholesterol from your arteries and other places in the body and returns it back to the liver for furt
evablogger [386]

High-density lipoproteins (HDL) refer to macromolecular complexes made up of lipids and that have the function of transporting dietary lipids to the liver.

<h3>What are lipoproteins?</h3>

They are macromolecules whose function is to package insoluble lipids in the aqueous medium of plasma and transport them from the intestine and liver to peripheral tissues and, from these, return cholesterol to the liver for elimination from the body.

<h3>Characteristics of High Density Lipoproteins (HDL)</h3>

  • They are synthesized and secreted by the liver and to a lesser extent by the intestine.

  • They transport cholesterol from peripheral tissues to the liver, this is known as “Reverse Cholesterol Transport”.

Therefore, we can conclude that lipoproteins are macromolecules whose function is to transport lipid molecules from one organ to another in the aqueous medium of plasma.
