<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Reduction of sulfur compounds and the release of hydrogen sulfide is happening here.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sulfur is an important element in the sulfur cycle. Sulfur compounds can be found on earth in various forms. They can be found in mineral rocks and organic matter. It is the <em>work of bacteria to reduce sulfur</em> compounds and convert them to sulfides.

There are different types of bacteria that reduce various sulfur containing compounds. They are <em>sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, sulfite reducing bacteria etc.</em>  In a swamp there is  low oxygen availability and organic matter decays in this condition.

<em>The sulfate reducing bacteria oxidizes the organic matter  and releases Hydrogen sulfide.</em>

A student claims that cellular respiration is essential to cells so that they have a means for getting rid of excess carbon diox
Romashka [77]

1. Cellular respiration does not consume carbon dioxide (CO2).

Cellular respiration is a process by which plants produce energy. It consists of anaerobic (without O2) and aerobic phase(with the presence of O2). During the cellular respiration chemical energy derived from the nutrients (like glucose) is transformed into energy molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

2. Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in all eukaryotic organisms (photosynthesis only in plants and some microorganisms). The processes of cellular respiration occur in cytosol (glycolysis) and in the mitochondrion of a cell (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain).

What could be inferred from suntans?
podryga [215]

Answer:

A tan might indicate sun damage to the skin.

Explanation:

Tanning is the process by which the skin is exposed to the ultraviolet rays that comes from the sun with the purpose of producing a dark-brown coloration called a TAN.

A tan achieved by exposure to the sun can actually indicate that a person's skin is undergoing damage from the UV rays of the sun, hence, the skin responds by producing a protein called melanin, which protects the skin and later forms the dark coloration- tan. From this explanation, tan is got in response to a damaging signal received by the cell, hence, a tan might indicate sun damage to the skin.

You cross two true-breeding parents (one with yellow seeds and one with green seeds), grow and self-pollinate the F1 generation,
Andru [333]

Answer:

1500

Explanation:

Let's assume that the allele for yellow seed color is "Y" and the allele for green seed color is "y". Genotype of pure breeding yellow seeded plant would be "YY" and that of the green seeded plant would be "yy". A cross between YY and yy gives all heterozygous yellow seeded plants (Yy) in F1 progeny. Self pollination of two F1 plants (Yy x Yy) obtains F2 generation in 3 yellow: 1 green ratio.

The total population size of F2 generation = 2000

The proportion of yellow seeded plants in F2 generation = 3/4 (since the F2 phenotype ratio is given 3 yellow: 1 green)

Therefore, total number of yellow seeded plants in F2 progeny = 3/4 x 2000= 1500

It is possible for two parents each with brown eyes to produce a blue-eyed child.
elena55 [62]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The color of the baby's eyes is influenced by the genetic inheritance (of the genes transmitted by the mother and father) and the amount of melanin (brown or black pigment whose type and amount is encoded in the genes) found in the iris.

Eye color is controlled by at least three genes, although researchers still only understand the role of two of them. Determining eye color is an extremely complex process and there are several conditioning factors and genetic combinations that can influence the final color.

The more melanin, the darker the color of eyes, skin and hair. If parents have both brown eyes, it is natural for their children to have the same color. However, there may be a genetic influence from an ancestor and the child expressing a different color.

If the presence of melanin in the iris is reduced, the baby will have blue eyes, even if father and mother have brown eyes. If the presence of melanin is higher, the eye color will be green or hazel. When there is a large production of melanin, the eyes are brown, predominant color over green or blue and therefore more common. The least common color is green.
