Entrepreneurs attempted, but failed, to harvest nuts from plantations grown in Southeast Asia. Attempts to grow Brazil nut trees

in South American plantations also failed. In both cases, the trees grew vigorously, produced healthy flowers in profusion, but set no fruit. Consequently, what is the likely source of the problem?

Answer:

The reason that there is no fruit even the plant produced healthy flowers maybe because

1. absences of pollinators due to declining poliinator population

2.weather conditions are preventing pollination

3. prevalence of flooding

Explanation:

1.Fruits are direct result of pollination. Due to the decrease in the number of pollinators especially orchid bees, some fruit bearing plants produce flowers but no fruit.

Bees decline their population because of parasites, diseases, exposure to chemicals and other environmental factors.

2.Unfavorable factors may prevent the agents of pollination to do their jobs. Bees and other insects may be hindered by wet or cold weather or some use of chemicals.

3.Brazil nut grow in lowland rainforest where there is no flooding.

Answer:

The oxygen dissociation curve represents the percentage saturation of Hb with oxygen at different partial pressure of oxygen. The different partial pressures gives sigmoid shapes to the curve. When this curves shifts to right, it  indicates  low affinity or binding of oxygen by the Hb. it also indicates the unloading or releases of Oxygen by Hb molecules at condition of low pressure. e,g in the muscles during strenuous exercise.However, when the curve shifts to the left, this indicate high affinity for oxygen, great binding, at high partial pressure of oxygen.e,g in the lungs to take oxygen and releases CO2.

Therefore in this scenario, the statement -. <u>During strenuous exercise, the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve shifts to the right.</u> is correct. because oxygen is needed by the muscles therefore ,oxygen should be less binded by Hb,  decrease affinity and easily unloaded to muscles.

<u>The statement </u>This rightward shift reflects an increase in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen and favors loading of O2 into hemoglobin in the lungs is wrong.

As explained above the rightwards shift indicated low affinity of Hb for oxygen(unloading)and  favours unloading at the muscles because during strenuous exercise the partial pressure of oxygen is very low(but that of CO2 high) in the muscles which favours low oxygen molecules  binding by Hb, and easy release to respiring cells.

Lung cancer occurs slightly more frequently in the right lung than in the left lung (about 53% versus 47% of the time). the most
MrRissso [65]
I believe that the most logical  explanation for this is that the right primary bronchus is wider than the left one (and the right lung is larger than the left lung), therefore the right lung receives slightly more carcinogenic cigarette smoke with each puff. In lung cancer. the cancer cells usually arise from the epithelium lining of large bronchus.

Given the reaction below:
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Fe + CuSO4(aq) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s) The type of reaction is a displacement reaction. In this reaction, the highly reactive metal iron replaces the Copper in copper sulphate by giving up two electrons and gets oxidized and forms a new compound called ferrous sulphate.
