Answer:
b. Exchange between the plasma and the intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Explanation:
The body fluid can be categorized as extracellular and intracellular fluid. The fluid within cells is called intracellular fluid and the body fluid outside body cells makes the extracellular fluid. The interstitial fluid is the extracellular fluid that is present in the narrow spaces between cells of tissues.
On the other hand, the extracellular fluid present within blood vessels is termed blood plasma. Therefore, plasma and intracellular fluid can exchange material via interstitial fluid only, not directly via the cell membrane. The exchange between interstitial fluid and intracellular fluid occurs across the cell membrane.
Answer: A.) The nitrogen cycle recycles nitrogen through an ecosystem, making it available to all organisms.
Explanation: Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants and a significant component of proteins, which all animals need to grow, reproduce and survive. The nitrogen cycle converts nitrogen into compounds that plants and animals can use.
Answer:
(a) Gg × Gg; (b) genotypic = 1:2:1, phenotypic = 3:1
Explanation:
a) A cross between two gray seeded plants produces progeny with gray and white seeds in 3:1 ratio (302:98=3:1). This means that the parent plants are heterozygous and each has at least one recessive allele. If the allele "G" is responsible for gray seed and the allele "g" imparts white color to the seeds, the genotype of the heterozygous parents would be "Gg".
b) A cross between two heterozygous gray seeded parents would produce progeny in following ratio:
Genotype ratio= 1 GG: 2 Gg: 1 gg
Phenotype ratio= 3 Gray: 1 white
The results clearly reveal that Imipramine is by far more effective than Lithium in preventing the recurrence of depression. 62.16% of the patients taking Lithium had a recurrence of depression which is more than twice that of patients who took Imipramine (28.95%).
The results also question the effectiveness of Lithium in general since the percentage of patients who had a recurrence of depression in the Placebo group (67.65%) is only slightly higher than that of the Lithium group (62.16%).
