Two test tubes are filled with a solution of bromthymol blue. A student exhales through a straw into each tube, and the bromthym

ol blue turns yellow. An aquatic green plant is placed in each tube, and the tubes are corked. One tube is placed in the dark, and the other tube is placed in direct sunlight. The yellow solution in the tube in sunlight turns blue, while the one in the dark remains yellow. Which statement best explains why the solution in the tube placed in sunlight returns to a blue color?a) Carbon dioxide was produced by respiration.b) Carbon dioxide was removed by photosynthesis.c) Oxygen was produced by photosynthesis.d) Oxygen was removed by respiration.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 

When Bromthymol blue (BTB) receives carbon dioxide (after a student exhales into it), turns yellow. This yellow color is due to the formation of slightly acidic carbonic acid. Now,  an aquatic green plant is placed in both the test tubes and one of these test tube is placed in sunlight. Thus, the test tube kept in sun has all ideal requirements  that would allow the plant to photosynthesize. Photosynthesis process removes carbon dioxide from the test tube and hence it apperas blue again. While the test tube in dark still appears yellow in color

Hence, option B is correct

What type of diffusion is aided with a transport protein?
babymother [125]

Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion of solutes through transport proteins in the plasma membrane. Facilitated diffusion is a type of passive transport. Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient.

The total number of organisms an ecosystem can support is its tolerance range. True or false
Monica [59]

Answer;

The above statement is false

The total number of organisms an ecosystem can support is its carrying capacity.

Explanation;

-Carrying capacity is the average population density or population size of a species below which its numbers tend to increase and above which its numbers tend to decrease because of shortages of resources.

-For a given region, carrying capacity is the maximum number of individuals of a given species that an area's resources can sustain indefinitely without significantly depleting or degrading those resources.

The carrying capacity is different for each species. in a habitat because of that species’ particular food, shelter, and social requirements.

Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because ________. Which choice(s) comple
postnew [5]

Considering the following;

I. Heat is not readily available to all living cells.

II. Heat at excessive amounts denatures proteins.

III. Heat does not provide the activation energy for their reactions.

IV. When a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function

Answer;

I and IV

Explanation;

Living cells cannot use heat to provide the activation energy for biochemical reactions because heat is not readily available to all living cells and also when a critical temperature is reached, proteins no longer function.

Too much heat can kill an organism by rendering its organelles, cells, tissues and organs permanently inoperable and un-salvageable. The same process can be observed in tissues at low temperatures, and is the cause of frostbite. This is because enzymes are denatured by high temperature and inactivated by low.
