Answer:
D. The presence of aquaporins (proteins that form water channels in the membrane) should speed up the process of osmosis.
Explanation:
Water moves in the cells through osmosis which means water moves from its higher concentration to lower concentration. In many animals and plants, water channels are also present which is called aquaporins which allow the water to move through it in and out of cell more quickly.
The rate of diffusion by channel proteins is higher than simple diffusion therefore the aquaporins speed up the process of osmosis. No ATP is required to transport the water through aquaporin channel proteins.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, I am bothered by working conditions at Foxconn plants and do worry about the production of a phone that might have contributed to a death of a worker. If the working conditions are not satisfactory and the life of the worker are in danger so I worry about the lives of workers that work at Foxconn plants because of unsafe condition of work and stop the workers from working until safety measures should be implemented.

<h2>Order of parts of a microscope
</h2>
First – ocular lens
Second – Body tube
Third – Revolving Nosepiece
Fourth – Objective lens
Fifth – Coverslip
Explanation:
Ocular lens: The lens present in the eyepiece at the top of the microscope, close to the eyes, through which a person looks through the microscope to view the specimen. Magnification of ocular lens in a compound microscope is usually 10x
Body tube: The tube that connects the eyepiece with the objective of the microscope for continuous optical alignment.
Revolving Nosepiece: The turret that holds the objective and revolves to select the objective lens according to its magnification
Objective lens: The objective lens is located above the specimen rack. Objective lens creates the primary image of the specimen viewed through the eyepiece. A single compound microscope can have more than two objective lens and their magnification ranges from 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x power.
Coverslip: The cover glass which covers the objective lens and prevent from touching the specimen
. This is the object directly above the specimen.
Answer:
Probability that the son will be:
color-blind = 1/2
blue eyed = 1/8
blue eyed and color-blind = 1/16
Explanation:
Mother : BbXcX
Father : BbXY
Colorblindness is X linked recessive trait hence will be caused when the son has XcY genotype.
XcX X XY :
Xc X
X XcX XX
Y XcY XY
Half of the sons will have normal vision and other half will be colorblind hence, there is 1/2 probability that the son will be colorblind.
Eye color is autosomal trait and blue color will be produced when the child has bb genotype.
Bb X Bb :
B b
B BB Bb
b Bb bb
1/4 of the children will have blue eyes. Since half of the children are expected to be males, 1/4 * 1/2 = 1/8 sons are expected to have blue eyes.
Probability of a son being blue eyed and color blind will be :
1/8 * 1/2 = 1/16
