Answer is B.

nitrogen (78.10%), oxygen (20.90%) - this combination of gases dominate the Earth’s atmosphere.

Explanation:

The atmosphere of earth is a gaseous layer which surrounds the earth. It protects the life on earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation, reducing temperature extremes, maintaining the existence of liquid water on the earth's surface and warming the surface. The atmosphere consists of many gases including some pollutants and greenhouse gases. Nitrogen is the gas present in the atmosphere most abundantly while Oxygen and Argon take the second and third place. Atmosphere contains approximately 78% of nitrogen , 21% of oxygen and 0.9% of argon. Gases like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxides, methane, ozone and the water vapor constitutes the rest of the atmosphere. Many small particles called aerosols are also there which include dust, spores, pollen, volcanic ash, smoke etc. There are five layers of atmosphere. Troposphere (0 to 12 km) where we live is the lowest layer of earth's atmosphere ,which is closest to the earth's surface contains half of the atmosphere. Here most clouds are found and almost all weather occurs. Stratosphere (12 to 50 km) is the second layer where jet aircraft and weather balloons fly. It contains the ozone layer that absorbs harmful radiation from the sun. Mesosphere (50 to 80 km) is the third highest layer and the coldest part of the atmosphere where most meteors burn up upon entering in to the atmosphere. The fourth layer is thermosphere (80 to 700 km) where the International Space Station orbits earth and the space shuttles flew. Exosphere (700 to 10,000 km) is the outermost layer where the atmosphere merges into outer space. Most of the satellites orbiting earth are found here.

Imagine you are a red blood cell sitting in the right atria of the heart. Write a paragraph that describes what happens to this

12345 [234]

Answer:

Blood requires to be oxygenated and for that reason to avoid the mixing of the two forms or types of blood with different properties and characteristics. As, the blood inside the human body is either in the oxygenated form or it is in the deoxygenated form, while the whole characterizing of the blood medium is based upon the presence of the oxygen,O₂ and carbon dioxide,CO₂ inside it.
While, the lungs are there for the oxygenation of the blood inside the human body, which is comprised of the small air sacs or alveolar bodies for the oxygenation of the blood supplied to it by the pulmonary artery from the right auricle.
As, the blood supplied from all over the body is transported back to the heart through the superior and inferior venacava pouring the deoxygenated form of blood in to the heart.
As the blood remains there for less then a second and goes into the right ventricle carrying it to the pair of lungs through the pulmonary artery.
Inside the lungs the alveoli treats the material present inside the blood medium, which is processed through the process of respiration and oxygen is added to it while the carbon is removed and extracted from the body of the human being.
As, the purified form of blood is sent back to the heart via the pulmonary artery, which pours the blood back into the left auricle.

In watermelons, bitter fruit (B) is dominant to sweet fruit (b), and yellow spots (S) are dominant to no spots (s). The genes fo

lubasha [3.4K]

If an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, the phenotypic proportion that is expected in the offspring will be in the ratio of 1:1:1:1.

<h3>What is Backcross?</h3>

Backcross may be defined as a type of cross where the F1 hybrid is crossed with either the recessive or dominant traits.

This question typically represents a dihybrid cross implicating two genes, one coding for fruit taste and the other for spot color. The allele for bitter taste (B) and yellow spot (S) is dominant over the allele for sweet taste (b) and no spot (s) respectively.

So, a heterozygous F1 resulting from a cross between a purebred dominant (bitter fruit, yellow spot) and purebred recessive (sweet fruit, no spot) will have a BbSs genotype.

When the F1 hybrid BbSs is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent (bbss), the phenotypes with their proportions are given below:

Bitter fruit, yellow spot (BbSs, 1)
Bitter fruit, no spot (Bbss, 1)
Sweet fruit, yellow spot (bbSs, 1)
Sweet fruit, no spot (bbss, 1).

The Punnett square of this cross is described below:

Therefore, if an F1 plant is backcrossed with the sweet, unspotted parent, the phenotypic proportion that is expected in the offspring will be in the ratio of 1:1:1:1.

If a lcfa is synthesized with isotopically labeled carbons at the c2 and c3 positions, in which product(s) of the initial cycle

Assoli18 [71]

The isotopically-labeled carbon will be found in the two first acetyl CoA products (the C2 carbon of the first acetyl CoA and the C1 carbon of the second acetyl CoA).

Β-oxidation is the main metabolic pathway of degradation of fatty acid molecules to produce:

on the one hand acetyl-CoA, whose acetyl group is oxidized by the Krebs cycle

and on the other hand NADH and FADH2, whose high potential electrons feed the respiratory chain.

In eukaryotic cells, β-oxidation takes place aerobically in the mitochondrial matrix, but also in other organelles such as peroxisomes and, in plants, glyoxysomes.
