You're conducting an experiment to determine the effect of different wavelengths of light on the absorption of carbon dioxide as

an indicator of the rate of photosynthesis in aquatic ecosystems. If the rate of photosynthesis increases, the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment will decrease, and vice versa. Small aquatic plants are placed into three containers of water mixed with carbon dioxide. Container A is placed under normal sunlight, B under green light, and C under red light. The containers are observed for a 24-hour period. Carbon dioxide absorption is an appropriate indicator of photosynthesis because:_________.A) CO2 is needed to complete the light reactions.B) The energy in CO2 is used to produce ATP and NADPH.C) Plants produce oxygen gas by splitting CO2.D) CO2 is needed to produce sugars in the Calvin cycle.

Answer:

The preferable option will be - D.

D. CO₂ is needed to produce sugars in the Calvin cycle.

Explanation:

  • We know that CO₂ is the prime element for photosynthesis.
  • CO₂ is the only source that supplies carbons in this process. With the help of  CO₂, water, light, minerals, and chlorophyll, six-carbon glucose is formed.
  • This glucose is converted to starch and is stored in fruits or in the parts of plants for further use.

A student performed an experiment with bags of dialysis tubing filled with distilled water to model the process of osmosis. Dial
Reil [10]

Answer:

Taking into account the principle of osmosis, the question that best addresses experimental design is  <em>How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?</em>

Explanation:

The experimental design of the student, made with dialysis bags and sucrose at different concentrations should recreate the principle of osmosis, of importance in living beings for organic homeostasis.

Osmosis consists of the movement of water - through a semi-permeable membrane - from a less concentrated solution to a higher concentration solution, following a gradient, to achieve balance.  

The student will observe in his experiment that water moves from the solution with less sucrose concentration to the higher concentration of sugar. Beakers with the highest concentration of sucrose will have the highest weight, due to the increase in liquid volume.

How does the effect of environmental sucrose concentrations impact the  movement of water across a membrane?

The experiment shows that:

  1. The water from the beaker with less sucrose concentration moved -through the dialysis tubes and the membrane- to the beaker containing the most concentrated sucrose.
  2. Different sucrose concentrations will attract different amounts of water, which influences the final weight of each container.

With this experiment the principle of osmosis is confirmed, where the concentration of a solute determines the amount of water that passes through a semipermeable membrane -following a concentration gradient- until equilibrium is reached.

The ileum contains ________ that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.
Ivanshal [37]

The ileum contains villi that project into the lumen and increase the amount of surface area.

Villi are small finger-like structures that project into the lumen of the small intestine. Villi increase the surface area of the intestinal walls for easy and quick absorption of digested food with the addition of digestive secretions. Villi vary in length from about 0.5 to 1 mm. They are usually found in large numbers at the beginning of the small intestine and they reduce toward the end of the tract.

Which of the following is typically associated with a reduction in photosynthesizing plants in a water supply? (2 points)
Sphinxa [80]
A decrease in dissolved oxygen.
This is because oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis. If the plants are in water, some of the oxygen they produce will become dissolved in it. Without those plants, you have less dissolved oxygen.
