lara [203]3 years ago

Answer:

<u>The bacterial cell because it has the largest surface-to-volume-ratio.</u>

Explanation:

The rate of diffusion in and out of a body depends on surface area to volume ratio. The higher the ratio the greater the rate of diffusion and the lower the ratio, the lower the rate of diffusion.

This implies that small organisms like the bacteria cell expose a large surface area to the surrounding when compared to big organism cells. Therefore, small organisms depend on diffusion as a means of transport of foods, respiratory gases and waste products.

Large organisms, in addition to diffusion have trasnport systems to increase the efficiency of diffusion.

A person with prediabetes has a fasting blood glucose level of _____.
vlada-n [284]

Answer;

C. 100 - 125 mg/dL

A person with prediabetes has a fasting blood glucose level of 100-125 mg/dL.

Explanation;

-A fasting blood sugar level below 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) — 5.6 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) — is considered normal.

-A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/dL (5.6 to 7.0 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. This result is sometimes called impaired fasting glucose. A fasting blood sugar level of 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher indicates type 2 diabetes.

Sequence the steps, 1–4, in the order required to create a permanent slide of human cheek cells. [1 mark] Specimen dehydrated Sp
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct order is dehydration, embed in wax, cut into sections, staining

Explanation:

There are certain proceedings needed to obtain stained sections of vegetable or animal tissues for their microscope observations.

These steps are:

  • Obtention of the material: The tissue is cut to an adequate size.
  • Fixation: When tissues are extracted from the organism, they suffer autolysis and putrefaction, so they need to be fixated in order to keep their cells in the best state possible. Fixation involves preserving the original morphological and molecular characteristics of the tissue. Fixation avoids autolysis, putrefaction, distortion, and retraction of cells and the tissue that could affect its volume or morphology.  
  • Dehydration. Once fixated, the fixator must be eliminated and the tissue is dehydrated by using a gradual series of solutions with alcohol in ascendant concentrations. Dehydration must be gradual to avoid tissue deformation.
  • Inclusion. To obtain thin cuts that can be observed under the optic microscope, the tissues must be included in a consistent, firm substance, that might be either hydrophilic or hydrophobic. A hydrophobic medium is paraffin wax, that provides hardness and plasticity.  
  • Cut. The tissue included in wax must be cut in slides or sections thin enough to allow the diffusion and penetration of light. A microtome is used to perform these cuts. When using paraffine for tissue inclusion, the cuts are about  5 to 20 micrometers of thickness.
  • Stain. Once the cuts are performed, paraffin wax must be eliminated. This can be done by using an organic solvent. Then the tissue must be stained. Hematoxylin and Eosin are the most common dyes. Animal tissues in general do not have any natural color, so they need to be stained to be observed.

Pollination is the transfer of_Pollen from the _____________ to the ______________.
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Stamen/Pistil

Explanation:

Flowering plants also called Angiosperms are a group of plants characterized by the possession of flowers used for sexual reproduction. The flowers contains the male part and female part. The male part of a flower is collectively called STAMEN while the female part is collectively called PISTIL or STYLE.

The STAMEN is responsible for the production of the male reproductive structure called POLLEN while the PISTIL is responsible for the production of female reproductive structure called OVARY. During reproduction, pollen (containing male gametes, sperm) from the STAMEN are transferred to the stigma (receptive part) of the STYLE in a process called POLLINATION.
