1 answer:

5 0

To prove that a certain fruit (in this case, an orange) indeed contains a certain compound (in this case, vitamin C); then the vitamin C should be extracted and isolated from the orange and must be confirmed by molecular analysis. The extraction process involves using chemicals (i.e. 6% MPA), and procedures such as centrifugation and filtration. Then the extract is stored and subjected to high-performance liquid analysis (HPLC) to measure the vitamin C content.

What is the most abundant organism in a food chain

Sholpan [36]

The given question is incomplete as there is no food chain given in the question, but based on the knowledge it can be said so that producers are present in abundant amount in every food chain.

Answer: Producers

Explanation:

The producers can be defined as the organism which have the ability to make food. This food is used by the other organism of the food chain as a soul source of energy.

They are huge in number so that they can produce enough food to meet the requirement of other organisms. Though all of the organisms are not directly dependent on producers ,some of them(carnivores) are also dependent on the organism eating plants(herbivores).

Producers→ primary consumers(herbivores)→ secondary consumers(carnivores)→tertiary consumers(carnivores).

Here, we can see that the all the organism are directly or indirectly dependent on the producers and they are abundant in every food chain.

Smallpox viruses can replicate only inside a human cell. Human influenza viruses can replicate in human cells and in the cells o

Vanyuwa [196]

Small pox vaccines can only be tested on humans, however Bc the flu can replicate in pigs, scientists can tests vaccines on pigs. Since there are two means in which it can spread, scientists must be aware of the genetic difference between humans and pigs and act accordingly. Influenza vaccines might have greater success rates Bc of their ability to test the efficiency of their vaccines on pigs in comparison to small pox vaccines which can only be tested on humans.

Hope this helps!

Name the three stages in the processing of information by nervous systems.

notsponge [240]

The three stages in the processing of information by the nervous system are the sensory input, the integration and the motor output.
During the sensory output, the sensory neurons carries information for the external stimuli such heat, smell and tastes, and other internal conditions, to the central nervous system for processing. The the CNS analyzes and interprets the input from the sensory neuron and then decides how to respond to the stimuli. Then the motor neuron carries the information from the CNS to the effector cells , that is the muscles and the endocrine glands which then exert the output.
