A balanced diet contains all the ingredients needed to maintain homeostasis. many important compounds in the body contain nitrog

en atoms (n compounds), including amino acids, the bases of rna and dna, creatine, and porphyrins. despite the importance of nitrogen, the body neither stores nitrogen nor maintains reserves of n compounds. the body can synthesize the carbon chains of the n compounds but must obtain nitrogen atoms either by recycling n compounds or by absorbing nitrogen from the diet. pregnant or lactating women like justine actively synthesize n compounds. when an individual absorbs more nitrogen than he or she excretes, he or she is said to be in what state

He or she is said to be in a positive nitrogen balance state.

Nitrogen balance is the traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.

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

Why is salt not allowed to pass through the cell membrane?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Salt molecules are much smaller than starch molecules and can pass through more easily. ... Thus, they are quite large molecules in contrast to the relatively small salt molecules. The smaller salt molecules pass through the membrane easily, but the larger starch molecules cannot pass through the membrane.
