All the energy (Kcal) on the earth is from the sun. plants absorb the energy  then an animal/organism will consume it  then the animal will use 10% of the energy then some will eat that animal and process will continue but the less the energy there is  the more the next animal will eat

13.A dividing cell has a line of vesicles on the metaphase plate between the two daughter nuclei. Is it a bacterium, plant, or a
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

plant cell

Explanation:

The Golgi apparatus is a cell organelle responsible for modifying, sorting and packaging proteins and lipid molecules into vesicles (i.e., Golgi vesicles) for their delivery to targeted cell sites. A plant cell can contain many -even hundreds- of Golgi apparatus. During cell division of plant cells, Golgi vesicles combine at the metaphase plate in order to form a structure called phragmoplast. Subsequently, the cell plate formed by phragmoplast vesicles grows from the center to the cell walls. Finally, the vesicle membranes fuse to form a plasma membrane that divides the plant cell into two cells.

A man who smokes heavily has developed lung cancer. The tobacco smoke has caused mutations in some of the cells in his lungs, ma
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: B. If he inherited a mutation which made him more susceptible to lung cancer, it may have been present in some of the gametes he produced and passed to his children.

Explanation:

  • The inheritance of genes from the parents to the offspring is mediated by the germinal cells or sex cells or gametes of the parents.
  • The genetic material present in the somatic cells of the parents are not transmitted to the offspring.
  • In the given case, the man who develops lung cancer generates some tobacco smoke induced mutations in some of the cells of his lungs.
  • The cells of the lungs are type up of somatic cells. Hence, any mutations in the genome of these cells will never be transmitted to the offspring.
  • Therefore, the children of the man will never become prone to develop lung cancer due to development of mutations in the lung cells of the man.
  • However, if the man has inherited any mutation from his parents which can increase the risk of development of lung cancer, then these mutations will be present in his germinal cells and also in some of his gametes.
  • Now, if a child is born due to the fusion of the the maternal gamete with one of these mutated paternal gametes, there is an increased chance of developing lung cancer in the child, irrespective of the fact whether he is a smoker or a non-smoker.

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Compare and contrast inexhaustible and renewable resources. Inexhaustible resources are sources of energy that will never run out. In contrast, renewable resources could potentially run out. They are finite energy resources that can be replaced in a relatively short period of time.

Why does an epithelium need to be highly regenerative?
ycow [4]
As epithelial makes the outer covering of all the organs and skin is also made of epithelial...so to be sure that it does not get depleted or destroyed due to friction and other external cause ...it should be highly generative !

​(f) contact a local hospital and ask them the percentage of the population that is blood type o. why might the results​ differ?
Fudgin [204]
Contacting a local hospital and asking them the percentage of the population that has blood type O will generate different results. 

The factors that we have to consider why there is differing results are:
1) location of the hospital
2) nationality of their patients
3) number of their patients

I am assuming that the population that question is referring to is the number of patients in the local hospital. The bigger the population, the smaller the effect a unit has on the whole and vice versa. 

I read an article that states that 37% of the U.S. population has O+ blood type. These people are usually of Hispanic descent or some Asian descent. So, if a hospital is in a locality that has a majority of Hispanic or Asian patients, its percentage will be higher than a hospital that is located in a Caucasian-populated area. 

Aside from Type O+ (most common), blood types also include: O-, A+, A-, B+, B-, AB+, and AB- (rarest blood type)
