Question 1: Water is able to hold up things like a small paperclip, and allows creatures like the water strider to sit on top of

it. Explain how this is possible. Make sure you mention what kind of bond is involved in making this happen, and what the bond connects. Also CORRECTLY use the word cohesion in your answer. (Imagine you are talking to another person of around your age who has not taken Biology. Since they do not know the words "cohesion" or "______ bond" - do not just say these words. Weave them into a true explanation.)

Answer:

Surface tension in water might be good at performing tricks, such as being able to float a paper clip on its surface, but surface tension performs many more duties that are vitally important to the environment and people. Find out all about surface tension and water here.

Sandra is riding a bicycle at 10.0 meters/second. She slows down to 2.0 meters/second in 10 seconds. Her acceleration is __
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:  Her acceleration is -0.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The initial velocity of Sandra ( u) = 10 m/s

The final velocity of Sandra ( v) = 2 m/s

Time taken by Sandra (t) = 10 s

Let the acceleration of Sandra be 'a'

Using the equation of kinematics, we have

                                                        v = u + at  

                                                   ⇒  2 = 10 + 10a

                                                   ⇒  -8 = 10a

                                                   ⇒ a = \frac{-8}{10}m/s^2

                                                   ⇒ a = -0.8 m/s²

Hence, her acceleration is -0.8 m/s².

For the following scenarios, determine whether the molecules in the scenario are moving by (S) simple diffusion, (F) facilitated
Alenkinab [10]

8. (F) Facilitated diffusion: For water to travel across the cell membrane at a substantial rate, the water molecules travel through protein channels known as aquaporins.

9. (S)  Simple diffusion: While water molecules are polar, they are also very small. One fact not mentioned in the video is that some water molecules are able to squeeze directly through the phospholipid bilayer due to their small size.

10. (S)  Simple diffusion: Charged ions are traveling through a cell membrane with the concentration gradient.

11. (A) Active transport: Cells lining the gut need to take in glucose, but at a certain time, the concentration of extracellular glucose is lower than the concentration already stored in the cells.

12.(F) Facilitated diffusion: At a certain time, glucose is in a high concentration outside of a cell and needs to travel through the membrane into the cell.

The above choices are made based on the basic definitions of active transport, facilitated diffusion and simple diffusion.

Active transport: The movement of the ions or molecules to a region having higher concentration across the membrane requiring the help of energy or enzymes is active transport.

Facilitated diffusion: This type of transport involves passive movement of the molecules or is a type of passive transport where the movement of the molecules takes place from higher to lower concentration region occurs with the aid of a carrier molecule such as a transport or carrier protein.

Simple diffusion: This process involves movement of ions or molecules from high concentration region to low concentration region through a semipermeable membrane.

In garden peas, long stems are dominant to short stems, and yellow seeds are dominants to green seeds, too long/yellow pea plant
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

A) 300

B) 3:1

C) 9 long yellow : 3 long green : 3 short yellow : 1 short green

Explanation:

Long stems (L_) are dominant to short stems (ll)

Yellow seeds (Y_) are dominant to green seeds (yy)

We interbred pea plants with long stems and yellow seeds (L_Y_), but they had a short green parent (llyy) that could have only produced <em>ly</em> gametes, so our plants are heterozygous <em>LlYy</em>.

C) We interbred them LlYy x LlYy. If the two genes are unlinked, this is a typical dihybrid cross and from Mendel's law of independent assortment we know that the offspring will have the following phenotypic ratios:

  • 9/16 L_Y_ (Long, yellow)
  • 3/16 L_yy (Long, green)
  • 3/16 llY_ (short, yellow)
  • 1/16 llyy (short, green)

A) 3/16 × 1600 = 300 plants will be long and green.

B)

9/16 + 3/16 = 12/16= 3/4 plants will be yellow;

3/16 + 1/16 = 4/16= 1/4 plants will be green.

The ratio will be 3 yellow : 1 green

What must be present first in order for natural selection to occur???​
777dan777 [17]

Four conditions are needed for natural selection to occur: reproduction, heredity, variation in fitness or organisms, variation in individual characters among members of the population. If they are met, natural selection automatically results.

Ur welcome
