When Carbondioxide is produced above normal levels as a result of activities such as burning of fossil fuels, it creates a heat trapping effects in the atmosphere and it also allows stronger sun rays to penetrate the atmosphere resulting in higher temperatures and hence global warming.

Some organisms are made of cells. TRUE or FALSE.
marusya05 [52]
<span>Yes, all living organisms are made of at least one cell (cell theory). But, remember, viruses and prions, which cause diseases, are not technically living things, and they are NOT made of cells. Also, if asked a question similar to this on a biology test, the teacher may be trying for an answer similar to: "Organisms are made of different organ systems, which are made of various related organs, which are made of different tissues working together, which are made of cells". </span>

The lungs remain inflated because ___________.a. intrapleural pressure is exactly equal to atmospheric pressure b. intrapleural
kkurt [141]

Answer:

Option C,  Intrapleural pressure is less than intrapulmonary pressure

Explanation:

During inspiration, the air enters the lungs due to lower pressure in the intrapulmonary or intra-alveolar  than the atmospheric pressure. During quite respiration, the intrapulmonary pressure reduces to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg lower than that of atmospheric pressure. During quiet expiration, the intrapulmonary pressure rises up to a pressure that is 3 mm Hg higher than that of atmospheric pressure. This leads to lack of air in the intrapleural space thereby producing intrapleural pressure which is lesser than that of intrapulmonary pressure.  

This difference in pressure (i.e higher pressure with in the lungs than the atmosphere)  causes lungs to remain attached to the chest wall and hence looks inflated.  

Hence, option C is correct

A student conducted an investigation to study phototropism in grasses. The only difference between the control group and the exp
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

Phototropism refers to the movement of plants in response to light. The mechanism of phototropism involves the photoreceptors which respond to a different wavelength of light: the phytochromes to red light, cryptochromes to blue light and the phototropin to the UV light.

Plants integrate the signals obtained from these receptors and then activates the gene which will be involved in the phototropism.

The gene could be the production of the auxin hormone and the PIN proteins which helps in the distribution of the auxin in the plants. Due to the production of this hormone and its distribution in the shoot, the grass tips bend towards the light.

Thus, Option-A is correct.
