What is respiratory alkolosis

Biology

Answer:

Respiratory alkalosis is a disturbance in acid and base balance due to alveolar hyperventilation. Alveolar hyperventilation leads to a decreased partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide , the decrease in PaCO2 increases the ratio of bicarbonate concentration to PaCO2 and, thereby, increases the pH level; thus the descriptive term respiratory alkalosis.

How many grams of solute are needed to make 250 mL of a 2.055 M NaCl solution?

Veronika [31]

Answer:

30grams

Explanation:

To calculate the mass (number of grams of the solute) in the solution, we need to calculate the number of moles it contains first. We use the formula;

M = n÷ V

Where; M= Molarity or Molar concentration = 2.055M

n= number of moles= ?

V= Volume = 250mL

Volume in L is 250/1000 = 0.250L

n= M × V

n= 2.055 × 0.250

n= 0.51375moles

The mass is calculated using :

Mole (n) = mass (m) / molar mass (MM)

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

Mass = molar mass × mole

Mass = 58.5 × 0.51375

Mass = 30.0543

Therefore, the mass is 30grams

Why do you think an animal cell does not have a chloroplast

Alina [70]

Chloroplasts are organelles specialized for photosynthesis. Animals do not photosynthesize; therefore, they do not need chloroplasts.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of most common recessive disorders among Caucasians it affects 1 in 1,700 newborns. What is the expe

Phantasy [73]

Answer: The expected frequency of carriers is P(Aa)=0.046.

The proportion of childs with CF is P(aa)=0.024.

25% of having a child with CF (aa).

Explanation:

Hardy-Weinberg's principle states that in a large enough population, in which mating occurs randomly and which is not subject to mutation, selection or migration, gene and genotype frequencies remain constant from one generation to the next one, once a state of equilibrium has been reached which in autosomal loci is reached after one generation. So, a population is said to be in balance when the alleles in polymorphic systems maintain their frequency in the population over generations.

Given the gene allele frequencies in the gene pool of a population, it is possible to calculate the expected frequencies of the progeny's genotypes and phenotypes. <u>If P = percentage of the allele A (dominant) and q = percentage of the allele a (recessive)</u>, the checkerboard method can be used to produce all possible random combinations of these gametes.

Note that p + q = 1, that is, the percentages of gametes A and a must equal 100% to include all gametes in the gene pool.

The genotypic frequencies added together should also equal 1 or 100%, and all the equations can be summarized as follows:

$p+q=1\\(p+q)^{2} = p^{2} +2pq+q^{2} = 1\\P(AA)=p^{2} \\P(aa)=q^{2} \\P(Aa)=2pq1$

So, there are 1700 individuals and only one is affected. Since it is a recessive disorder, the genotype of that individual must be aa. So the genotypic frequency of aa is 1/1700=0.000588.

Then, $P(aa)=q^{2}=0.000588$ . And with that we can calculate the value of q,

$P(a)=q=\sqrt{0.000588}=0.024$

And since we know that p+q=1, we can find out the value of p.

$p+0.024=1\\1-0.024=p\\p=0.976$

Next, we find out the genotypic frequency of the genotype AA:

$P(A)=p=0.976\\P(AA)=p^{2} = 0.976^{2}=0.95$

Now, we can find out the genotypic frequency of the genotype Aa:

$P(Aa)=2pq=2 x 0.976 x 0.024 = 0.046$

Notice than:

$p^{2} + 2pq + q^{2} = 1\\x^{2} 0.976^{2} + 2 x 0.976 x 0.024 + 0.024^{2} = 1$

Then, the expected frequency of carriers is P(Aa)=0.046

The proportion of childs with CF is P(aa)=0.024

If two parents are carriers, then their genotypes are Aa.

Gametes produced by them can only have one allele of the gene. So they can either produce A gametes, or a gametes.

In the punnett square, we can see that there genotypic ratio is 2:1:1 and the phenotypic ratio is 3:1. So, there is a probability of 25% of having an unaffected child, with both normal alleles (AA); 50% of having a carrier child (Aa) and 25% (0.25) of having a child with CF (aa).

A biology student creates a table that shows the function of the four major macromolecules. Macromolecule Function lipids transp

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

The correct option is A. The lipids, because they are responsible for long-term energy storage.

Explanation:

The bodies of organisms are made up of different organic molecules known as biological macromolecules, each specialized to perform unique functions. For example, nucleotides are biological macromolecules made up of nucleotides. The function of nucleotides is to store the genetic information of an organism.

Lipids are macromolecules which are made from fatty acids and glycerol. The function of lipids is to store long- term energy for an organism. Hence, the biology student listed the wrong function for lipids.
