You perform an experiment in which you take 16 pots of strawberry plants and give half of them 1 gm of ammonium nitrate per lite

r of water and the other half receive only water. Each group is then split in half again, and exposed to either 8 or 16 hours of light each day. You monitor the height of the plants for 4 weeks. You observe that plants grown in ammonium nitrate and 16 hours of light grow taller than no ammonium nitrate and 8 hours of light.
The reason for the uptake by plants of nutrients like ammonium nitrate is

asexual reproduction.

homeostasis.

evolution.

sexual reproduction.

natural selection

Answer:

homeostasis.

Explanation:

Homeostasis is the process whereby living systems maintain a stable internal environment despite changes in environmental conditions. Plants, like every other living organisms also perform this process to keep their internal environment in a stable state.

According to the question, some plants were exposed to ammonium nitrate, which serves as a nutrient, and 16 hours of sunlight needed for photosynthesis to take place. The plants exposed to ammonium nitrate and 16 hours sunlight grew taller because they had access to nutrients needed to bring about the process of photosynthesis, which provides the plant with energy source (Glucose).

The uptake of nutrients like ammonium nitrate by the plants is done in order to maintain a homeostatic internal environment. Without nutrients, which is the purpose of the ammonium nitrate, plants cannot grow. Hence, the plants exposed to ammonium nitrate, take it in to keep their internal environment functioning.

After Frida stops exercising, she continues to breathe heavily. What is most likely occurring in her body?
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

(D) Strenuous exercise has caused her body to be in oxygen debt, and she is breathing hard while lactate is transported to the liver. This is a result of anaerobic respiration.

Explanation:

As Frida was exercising, her muscle cells were undergoing a frantic pace of metabolism (contraction and relaxation), where oxygen supply did not supply the required effort, thus causing muscle fatigue and heavy breathing.

Physical activity is synonymous with moving muscles. The more muscle fibers strive to accomplish a task, the more they consume the oxygen brought into the bloodstream. When this occurs, the body begins to breathe hard as lactate is transported to the liver.

This forces the lungs to work at a fast pace, as they are responsible for oxygenation. The heart also speeds up because it needs to pump blood more vigorously. This is why during exercise the heart rate and breathing rate increase and we breathe heavily.

What were the three major observations that charles darwin contributed to evolution?
Volgvan

Answer:

The 3 major observations were:

1. More individuals are produced each generation that can survive.

2. Phenotypic variation exists among individuals and the variation is heritable (through parents' genes).

3. Those individuals with heritable traits better suited to the environment will survive.

Explanation:

Charles Darwin was a British naturalist who proposed the theory of known to everyone as  'The Theory of Evolution' through natural selection.

Many motor and sensory functions are primarily controlled by the:
GalinKa [24]
<span>Many of the sensory and motor functions are controlled by the central nervous system and the brain. An example of this would be grabbing a hot pot from the stove. Your brain sends a signal to your hand to tell it to grab the pot. When you grab it your sensory nerves detect that the pot is hot and is burning your hand. The signal it sends back to the brain is one that there is pain and to release the pot.</span>

Which division of the ans is responsible for the physiological changes you experience when startled by a loud noise? (module 14.
Sliva [168]

Sympathetic nervous system under the Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is responsible for the physiological changes you experience when startled by a loud noise.

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) is part of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and is responsible for control of vital functions.

ANS  possesses three divisions, they are : Sympathetic nervous system (SYNS), parasympathetic nervous system and enteric plexus.  Sympathetic nervous system is responsible for flight and fight responses.

SYNS also performs such tasks as relaxing the bladder, speeding up heart rate, and dilating eye pupils.

The ganglions associated with SYNS mostly arise from the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spinal cord.
