Answer:

The protein that are intake through foods are broken down in the body and is converted into nitrogenous waste products which are eliminated from the body through the process of  excretion.

Explanation:

Ammonotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of ammonia from the body throuh the process of excretion is called as ammonotelic animals.Ammonia is more soluble in water.

Ex- Bony fish, Octopus, Sepia etc.

Ureotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of Urea from the body through the process of excretion is called as Ureotelic organisms.Urea is soluble in water.

Ex- Human.

Uricotelic-Those organisms that excrete nitrogenous waste products in the form of Uric acid from the body through the process of excretion is called as uricotelic organisms.Uric acid is insoluble in water.

Ex- Reptiles, birds etc.

A teacher writing to a confused student.

bacteria are microscopic (very tiny) organisms that are unicellular (made up of a single cell). One fundamental difference is that bacterial cells lack intracellular organelles, such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, and a nucleus, which are present in both animal cells and plant cells.

A pea plant that has round seeds has the genotype Rr. It is crossed with a pea plant that has wrinkled seeds and the genotype rr
Mariulka [41]
The correct answer is 50%, or 1/2. We know that round seeds are dominant, since the round pea plant has a genotype of Rr and the wrinkled pea plant has a genotype of rr. If it helps, draw a Punnett square with the two genotypes.

   R  r
r
r

The square works exactly like a coordinate grid. Combine the letters above and beside whichever of the four spaces you chose to find the genotype for that space.

   R  r
r Rr  rr
r Rr  rr

Therefore, 2 out of 4 of the pea plants have round seeds, since a genotype of Rr means that a plant will have round seeds, and 2 out of 4 will have wrinkled seeds, since a genotype of rr means that a plant will have wrinkled seeds. 2/4 simplifies to 1/2, or 50%. Therefore, there is a 50% chance that the offspring will have wrinkled seeds.

Hope this helps!

What observed reaction did the epinephrine have in the rate of blood flow in the arteriole and capillary?
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The epinephrine reaction is a decrease in the rate of blood flow in the arteriole and capillary, due to a phenomenon of vasoconstriction.

Explanation:

Epinephrine, or adrenaline, is a hormone produced by the adrenal cortex, which acts as a neurotransmitter for the sympathetic nervous system.

One of the effects of epinephrine is the <u>vasoconstriction of blood vessels, predominantly arteries</u>. Vasoconstriction of arterioles and closure of capillaries is an effect of epinephrine that results in a decrease in the rate of blood flow at that level.

This response can be seen when exogenous epinephrine is used to control an allergic or anaphylactic reaction, counteracting the vasodilation that characterizes these conditions.
