Answer:

b) from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure

Explanation:

Blood flow is measured in blood volume per unit time. It is the movement of blood through an organ, tissue or vessel. It is initiated when ventricles in heart contract leading to its ejection at high pressure. Major arteries receive this blood and they further transport it at high pressure to smaller arteries, arterioles and capillaries. Hence arteries have thick walls to withstand this pressure. The pressure decreases when blood reaches to veins hence their walls are not that thick.  Hence, blood flows from a region of high pressure to a region of low pressure.

On a large volcanic island, researchers are studying a population of annual herbaceous plants. Which of the following observatio
tangare [24]

Answer:

(B) Lava has separated the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.

Explanation:

In allopatric speciation, individuals of an ancestral species may undergo evolution into two or more progeny species which arises when physical separation causes a geographic boundary, this barrier can be in the form of a mountain range, rockslide, river or lava.

As in this scenario, a lava flow divides the populations of annual herbaceous plants by altering the landscape. This will cause genetic divergence with varying heritable features among its many generations favouring different traits in the separate environment along with genetic drift. The Lava will separates the population into two areas: an upland forest and a lowland marsh.

1) There is a larger number of hydrophilic molecules on the outside of a cell than on the inside. Identify the conditions that c
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

<h2>C. placing carrier proteins in the membrane.</h2>

Explanation:

If there is no barrier preventing molecules from moving molecules, then there will be large movement of molecules  from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This passive process is known as diffusion. The phospholipid bilayer of a cell's membrane works as a barrier to large molecules, ions, and most hydrophilic molecules. Whereas small hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the phospholipid bilayer, other molecules and ions are transported across the cell membrane with the help of transport proteins. Some transport proteins, allowing hydrophilic molecules and ions to passively move through them and across the cell membrane.

Examples: carrier proteins and channel proteins.

Placing carrier proteins in the cell membrane will allow the molecule to reach equal concentrations on the both the sides of the membrane and maintain that way over long time. In contrast, transport proteins known as pumps will use cellular energy, usually in the form of ATP, to transport molecules.

Placing equal numbers of intracellularly directed and extracellularly directed pumps would also equalize the concentrations of a molecule long over time. Pumps are to transport molecules against their concentration gradient, such as the sodium-potassium pump continuously moves sodium ions out of a cell.  

Through the use of carrier proteins, there is equalization of  concentrations of a hydrophilic molecule. This equalize the numbers of molecules on the inside and outside of the cell, but the pumps would continue moving the molecule inward, eventually resulting in more molecules inside of the cell than out.

5.21 Unit Test: Water and Oceans - Part 1
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Surface currents that move in a path similar to the wind currents

Explanation:

One of the reasons of the movement of the surface of the oceans is the force of the blowing wind. When there is a movement of wind over the surface of the ocean, the surface friction is created. Because of this there is an energy transfer between the force of the wind and the surface of the ocean water. This results in the creation of roughness of the surface of the ocean. The more the surface area of the ocean, the more is the transfer of the energy.
