Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Plants play a major role in the Nitrogen and Water cycles which involves how nitrogen and water is circulated between living organisms respectively in the environment. Plants need water for their life processes and they absorb groundwater via their root hairs which removes water from the environment. They help return back water (in form of vapor) when they lose water through the stomata on their leaves. This process in plants is called TRANSPIRATION. Therefore, via the processes of absorption and transpiration, plants influence the water cycle.

On the other hand, Nitrogen is an important component of structures that make up a plant e.g Chloroplast, Nucleic acids, amino acids etc. They get this nitrogen from the soil where it is absorbed via their roots in form of nitrates (a nitrogen compound usable by plant). When the plant dies, they are decomposed by microbes called decomposers e.g fungi, thereby, releasing the nitrogen back into the soil in form of ammonium, which is used up again in the nitrogen cycle. Therefore, plants influence the Nitrogen cycle when by absorbing it via their roots and releasing it back via decomposition.

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Things like unhealthy eating or drinking habits, and exposure to asbestos can harm your health, but it can't cause genetic disorders and diseases. Only DNA mutations can cause them.

Mutations in the DNA sequence can occur during meiosis, or the creation of gametes. The gametes can become defective. For example, extra or excess chromosomes can be produced. If defective gametes fertilize, the offspring can end up with genetic disorders.

Why would cells die if they were unable to make (or otherwise obtain) the amino acid arginine?
kumpel [21]

Answer: Arginine is an amino acid that is incorporated into proteins. So if cells can not make or obtain arginine, the cell can not make proteins needed for survival.

Explanation:

Arginine is an amino acid used to build proteins, and it is classified as a semiessential or conditionally essential amino acid.

Proteins are large molecules consisting of long chains of amino acids. They perform many functions such as catalysing metabolic reactions, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules, among many others.

Most notably, arginine is part of proteins that play an important role in many different processes such as cell division, immune function, wound healing and the release of hormones. <u>Without this amino acid, the cell cannot manufacture the proteins necessary for proper functioning</u>. So the cell dies because it cannot function properly.

Describe four human activities that have negative effects on earth's ecosystems. how do human activities increase the occurrence
vova2212 [387]
There are a lot of human activities that gives negative effects on the earth's ecosystem but I will mention only four: Burning of things such as garbages or plants and trees, dumping of garbages anywhere, chemical substance that are being made and produced, cutting down of trees for replacement of buildings and homes. The human activities increase the occurrence of species extinction by doing this, it eliminates and destroy the homes of the species that are supposed to be living on their natural habitat. But instead of them, living peacefully, by doing these activities, their home will be destroyed that can kill them-- which can lead to extinction.

Mr. and Mrs. Green have a daughter, Georgia, who was born at Riverside Community Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. Blue have a daughter, Be
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Yes, Mrs Green is correct that Belle is her biological daughter

Explanation:

According to this question, Mr. and Mrs. Green is said to have a daughter, Georgia while Mr. and Mrs. Blue is said to have a daughter, Belle. Both daughters were born the same day. Hence, a controversy occured as Mrs. Green thinks that Belle is her biological daughter.

Based on the blood analysis, the following were obtained:

Mr. Green: Type A

Mrs. Green: Type A

Georgia: Type A

Mr. Blue: Type AB

Mrs. Blue: Type A

Belle: Type O

The genotype of the following blood types is as follows:

Type A - iAiA or iAi

Type B - iBiB or iBi

Type O - ii

Type AB - iAiB

From the analysis of blood types of Mr and Mrs Green, which are both type A, they can possibly produce a child with type A.

However, from the analysis of Mr. and Mrs. Blue, it is impossible to have a child with blood type O. However it is possible for Mr and Mrs. Green if they are both heterozygous (iAi × iAi). The punnet square is attached. Hence, Mrs Green is correct about her claim since Mr. and Mrs. Blue cannot have a child with blood type A.
