Answer:
Ethical issues that arise from modern biotechnologies include the availability and use of privileged information, potential for ecological harm, access to new drugs and treatments, and the idea of interfering with nature. Applications include agriculture and health care.
Answer:
water
air
animals
plants
solar system
light
Explanation:
Earth is one of the nine planets and it is the one known to host human life. Earth is made up of the atmosphere which contains gases needed to sustain life. Water, air, animals, and plants can be found on the earth.
Space is a vacuum that hosts the galaxies and sun which make up the solar system. The Sun emits light which can be reflected on the earth as the planets revolve around the sun.
Answer:
AlF3 is the formula for aluminum flouride.
Explanation:
The recommended form of calcium supplement for patients who have achlorhydria or who are on proton pump inhibitors is a calcium citrate supplements.
Calcium citrate supplements are not dependent on acid or pH for absorption. Calcium citrate is in natural products such as milk and cheese that will provide patients with greater bioavailability regardless of pH.
Answer:
Diffusion is a passive process involving the movement of molecules from a region of a higher concentration to one of a lower concentration (the term passive means that the process does not require an input of energy to take place).
Diffusion can occur across partialy permeable membranes, such as those surrounding cells. Therefore, diffusion is involved in the movement of important molecules into and out of cells. It is important for the uptake of substances needed by cells, and also the removal of waste products produced by the cells.
In animals:
Respiration - Oxygen and glucose react to form carbon dioxide and water along with ATP (a source of energy) in the process of aerobic respiration. Therefore, oxygen and glucose must be taken up by the cell, and typically the concentration of these molecules outside the cell is greater than inside. Therefore, the overall net movement of these molecules will be down the concentration gradient, and they will move into the cell via diffusion. Similarly, the carbon dioxide produced is a waste product and moves out of the cell, again via diffusion down its concentration gradient.
In Plants:
Mineral uptake - Useful minerals and ions need to be taken up from soil into plants via root hair cells. These cells are adapted (through a large surface area and large number) to maximise the rate of diffusion. Therefore, the useful molecules in the soil move down a concentration gradient and into the roots to be taken up by the plant. Many molecules found in the soil are essential for the growth and survival of plants, making diffusion a very important process.
