Answer:

Buffer

Explanation:

Buffers may be defined as the solution of a weak acid with ithe conjugate base or a weak base with the conjugate acid. Buffers are not affected by the the additions of strong acid or base in a solution.

Whenever a strong base or acid is added to the buffer, it  may release or binds with the hydrogen ion and maintains the pH of a body fluid.  Blood has a buffer of carbonate ions and bicarbonic acids that maintains the blood pH.

Thus, the correct answer is option (E).

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?
Kruka [31]
Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.

Which of these energy transformations is taking place in the chimpmunk when its cells use the plants sugars to carry out cell pr
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A. chemical energy -> kinetic energy

B. kinetic energy -> solar energy

C. solar energy -> chemical energy

D. kinetic energy -> nuclear energy

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

All living organisms need energy to carry out certain processes in their body. This energy is obtained in form of ATP (chemical energy) when their food molecules is broken down via a process called CELLULAR RESPIRATION.

This chemical energy (ATP) is needed to perform cellular processes in the body. According to this question, a chipmunk (animal) will utilize the energy it derives (ATP) from breaking down plant sugars to carry out its cell processes. This means that it will transform CHEMICAL ENERGY → KINETIC ENERGY.

Note that, kinetic energy is the energy due to motion in the Chipmunk.
