Answer:

B because the diffusion gradient is steeper there

Explanation:

Oxygen moves in the cell through the process of diffusion which means it moves from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration. More the difference in concentration, concentration gradient will be more steeper and diffusion will take faster.

So in this case cell, B cell consumes oxygen at a faster rate because it is more metabolically active therefore as oxygen is consumed at a faster rate the concentration difference in B cell becomes high and the diffusion gradient becomes steeper so oxygen will diffuse more quickly in cell B.

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

 A … the diffusion gradient there is shallower

  A … its membrane transport proteins will not be saturated

  B … the oxygen molecules inside cell B have a higher kinetic energy

  B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper

Answer:

B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper

Explanation:

In the given question, cell A does not perform the process of metabolism but cell B is metabolically active as a result of which the cell uses oxygen.

The oxygen will diffuse more quickly in cell B as the diffusion process will allow the movement of the oxygen from higher concentration to lower concentration. Since the cell is active therefore it requires oxygen and releases oxygen as a result of which the oxygen level rises and fall instantly and is steeper.

Thus, B … the diffusion gradient there is steeper is correct.

A population of wild-flowers was scored for flower color. There were 302 blue (BB) plants, 1857 violet (BR) plants and 811 red (
Paul [167]

Answer:

frequency of the blue (B) allele = 0.4142

frequency of the red (R) allele = 0.5858

The number of blue plants expected is 509.652

The number of red plants expected is 1019.304

The anticipated number of violet plants is 1441.341

Calculated chi square value

= 84.5320 + 42.5688 + 119.8692\\= 246.97

Explanation:

Frequency of blue allele is

Frequency of blue allele is equal to sum of frequency of BB and half of frequency of BR

\frac{302}{2970} + \frac{1}{2} \frac{1857}{2970} \\= 0.1016 + 0.3126\\= 0.4142

Frequency of other allele

1- 0.4142\\= 0.5858

Chi Square test

See the attached file

The number of blue plants expected is 509.652

The number of red plants expected is 1019.304

The anticipated number of violet plants is 1441.341

Calculated chi square value

= 84.5320 + 42.5688 + 119.8692\\= 246.97

Sophie [7]
Myocardial infarction, also known as heart attack to most people, is a result of an acute blockage of bloodflow to the heart. If a patient would ask the nurse why he/she is experiencing pain, it is best to tell the patient that chest pain or any discomfort in the arm, shoulder, neck, or back is caused by the decrease of blood flow to heart. Add to that, the nurse may inform the patient that people experiencing heart attacks may also feel shortness of breath, along with sweating, weakness, nausea, and fatigue. It is important to inform the patient about these symptoms so that he/she will be aware that these are common for people with myocardial infarction and that immediate medical attention is a must.

Which aquatic ecosystem is home to more than one-third of North American bird species?
Tasya [4]
More than one third of North American bird species can be found in wetlands. Wetlands may contains fresh or salt water or both. Biodiversity and nutrient levels are high; many plants and organisms filter out waste materials. Birds like geese, ducks, herons, warbies, and egrets, to name a few, use wetlands for nesting and feeding.
