Answer: (B) to function as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
Explanation:
Oxidative phosphorylation is a process that takes place in cellular respiration. It consists of two component pathways which includes the electron transport chain (etc) and chemiosmosis.
In etc the electrons are passed from one to another molecule, the energy is released by the electrochemical gradient.
In chemiosmosis, the energy stored in the electrochemical gradient is used to produce energy molecules in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate).
The oxygen is present at the end of the etc. It's function is to accept the electrons also picks up the protons to form water. If oxygen is absent then no molecule will accept the electrons, the electron transport chain will stop. There will be no chemiosmosis as the ATP will not be produced in the absence of formation of a electron gradient.
Answer: C. "I should eat foods that are high in iron and protein to help my body heal."
Explanation:
A women after miscarriage can experience mood swings as well as depression due to reduction of hormones that were producing when the pregnancy was in normal state. The sexual intercourse must be avoided for a period of 2 weeks until the bleeding stop completely as sexual intercourse can cause infection. She must also avoid pregnancy for 2 months as time is required so that body can reattain it's original form after the loss. The woman will not experience bright red, profuse and heavy bleeding after miscarriage.
A woman who has experienced the miscarriage is advised to eat foods that are rich in protein and iron to replenish the bodily loss caused due to miscarriage.
Sunlight,Carbon dioxide, water
Answer:
Farmers have been using selective breeding for improving their crop qualities and producing animals with better characteristics.
improved so that mankind can benefit from it.
Selective breeding is not okay on a bigger level where it might eradicate the natural varieties of plants and animals completely. When done on a larger level, the wild-type traits of plants and animals will change and be removed completely. This will lead to lesser genetic diversity.
Answer:
c. Directional selection
Explanation:
Directional selection is a type of natural selection that occurs when selective pressure favors one extreme phenotype over any other phenotype existing in a population. Only one extreme phenotype is favored over time.
A good example of directional selection is the natural selection that occurs in giraffes, where alleles for long necks were favored against alleles for short necks as a result of selection pressure among the different phenotypes. Over time, giraffes having long necks dominated the population as the distribution of length of neck shifts towards the phenotype for long necks.
