False
Bacteria are known as decomposers and feed off waste or dead organisms while viruses are known as parasites and are a small collection of genetic code that surrounds a protein and infects a host cell to produce more replicas of itself. This process usually kills the host cell.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Mean arterial pressure is obtained by the following equation: (Systolic BP + Diastolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 3.
For example, the mean arterial pressure (MAP) of normal blood pressure in human beings (that is, 120/80 mmHg) would be:
(Systolic BP + Diastolic BP + Diastolic BP) / 3
120 + 80 + 80 / 3
280 / 3
93.3
This is why MAP is closer to diastolic BP than systolic BP.
All living things are made of cells, so yes, mushrooms are made of cells. :)
Answer:
Carcinogenic
Explanation:
A carcinogenic substance is able to modify or damage the genome in a way which promotes the formation of cancerous cells. Cell cycle checkpoint proteins are very crucial for the progression of normal cell cycle. They check for any anomaly in their designated step and halt the process if it is detected. Repair mechanism is activated and cell cycle does not progress till the damage has been repaired.
Here, the pollutant alters the structure of these proteins such that they lose their function. They are not be able to stop cell cycle from progressing even if there is some damage in the genome. The cell divides and gives rise to more damaged cells. Eventually these cells lose their normal function and just keep dividing due to which their division rate becomes double of the normal rate. It can ultimately give rise to cancer which is why the chemical is carcinogenic.
Answer:
A. Plants will only flower during long day periods when the day length exceeds their necessary photoperiod
Explanation:
Photoperiodism is a phenomenon that refers to the response of an organism to the length of day. This phenomenon causes a physiological change in the organisms involved (plants or animals). However, the best studied example of change caused by photoperiodism is that of FLOWERING IN PLANTS.
Different plants flower at different times in response to the day length. Certain plants called LONG DAY PLANTS e.g. spinach and potato etc only flower when the length of day exceeds their photoperiod (threshold), which is usually 12 hours. These plants require very short periods of darkness to flower.
Hence, according to the question, FLOWERING response in plants is the best explanation to describe photoperiodism.
