The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.
b. The woman may have different gender babies.
c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.
d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.
Answer:
The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.
Explanation:
The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.
These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.
Thus, the selected option is correct.
Answer:
Option C. It is found only in a eukaryotic cell.
Explanation:
Plasma membrane is also called cell membrane. It is found in all cells of living organisms both unicellular and multicellular. It controls the amount of nutrients and wastes entering or leaving a cell. Due to permeability, the substances are easily pass through. Plasma membrane also act as boundary of animal cell.
Carbon dioxide can be transported through the blood via three methods. It is dissolved directly in the blood, bound to plasma proteins or hemoglobin, or converted into bicarbonate.
The majority of carbon dioxide is transported as part of the bicarbonate system. Carbon dioxide diffuses into red blood cells. Inside, carbonic anhydrase converts carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is subsequently hydrolyzed into bicarbonate (HCO3−) and H+. The H+ ion binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, and bicarbonate is transported out of the red blood cells in exchange for a chloride ion. This is called the chloride shift.
Bicarbonate leaves the red blood cells and enters the blood plasma. In the lungs, bicarbonate is transported back into the red blood cells in exchange for chloride. The H+ dissociates from hemoglobin and combines with bicarbonate to form carbonic acid with the help of carbonic anhydrase, which further catalyzes the reaction to convert carbonic acid back into carbon dioxide and water. The carbon dioxide is then expelled from the lungs.
Answer:
Biofuels like fuel from microalgae are very costly as compared to fossil fuels.
Explanation:
The cost of biofuels is too high as compared to that of fossil fuel. For instance,
the cost of 1 gallon of algal fuel is $32.81 per gallon while cost of diesel is $2.9 -3.2 per gallon.
However, biofuels are very environment friendly as compared to that of fossil fuels.
