in the 1700s, a French scientist, Antoine Lavoisier, gained new experimental information by reacting a metal and an acid. His ob

servation of the results seemed to show that much of the metal had been lost in the chemical reaction. Upon weighing the products, the total amounts of materials had not changed during the reaction.This research resulted in the law of conservation of mass. This law also applies to biology, because the materials we are made of are _________ that change forms, but aren't truly lost through biochemical reactions.

Answer:

Matter

Explanation:

Matter refers to the atoms, molecules, compounds which we are composed of and our surrounding is made of.

The law of conservation of mass was proposed by the Antoine Lavoisier who stated that mass neither gained nor lost but changed its form from one form to another in his experiments.

The same law of conservation of mass applies to the biological organisms as like living things they are also made up of the matter. The metabolism of the chemical reaction taking place in the living organism is evidence of the law of conservation of mass.

Thus, the matter is correct.

Answer:

Matter.

Explanation:

Matter is any thing that occupies space and has its own mass. All things are made of matter whether living or non living. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed during the reactions.

The four biomolecules carbohydrates, proteins, lipids an nucleic acids are made of matter. Matter are never lost but only changes its form from one state to the another state.  The three main states of matter are solid, liquid and gas.

Thus, the answer is matter.

Leaf anatomy. Did I label this diagram correctly?
grin007 [14]

Yes, you've labelled them correctly. For your reference, here are a few details for each leaf structure in the labels.

Cuticle: Also can be called as waxy cuticle, it can help reduce water loss from the leaf, since it is impermeable to water. It is usually thicker in the top of the leaf comparing to the bottom side of the leaf, as the sunlight shining on the top of the leaf can increase the chance of water evaporation.

Upper epidermis: They're cells which act as barriers. They can prevent the entry of diseases. They're also so thin and transparent that sunlight can be passed through.

Palisade mesophyll cells: They're the main location for photosynthesis, where the plant make energy by using sunlight. Chloroplasts, which absorbs sunlight, are mostly in these cells, (although they also exist in other leaf parts, but not as many).

Xylem and Phloem: They're collectively called the vascular bundle, or vein. Xylem transports water and mineral ions from soil to leaf, and phloem transports sugar and amino acids from places of production (leaf) to places for usage or storage.  

Spongy mesophyll cells: They also have a few chloroplasts, but not as many as palisade mesophyll cells. They're loosely packed to allow gas to pass through and exchange.

Lower epidermis: similar function to upper epidermis.

For further notice, note that the missing structures from the diagram are guard cells and stomata, usually lies in the lower epidermis. Stomata are pores which allows waste products from photosynthesis (oxygen) to evaporate away and carbon dioxide from the air outside to enter the leaf. Guard cells are just the cells around the stomata, controlling the size of the stomata to increase or reduce water loss/carbon dioxide intake.

Cells require glucose as a source of energy to carry out life processes. Large molecules like glucose cross the cell's plasma me
larisa [96]

Answer: The correct option is D

Explanation: The transport of glucose through the cell membrane is carried out by two types of proteins: transporters of glucose coupled to sodium, and proteins facilitating the transport of glucose. In both cases, the method of transport is the facilitated diffusion  through protein channels.
