re very different from those below the surface. She concluded that the difference was because of the pressure of water on submerged plants. Which is a reasonable alternative to Helen's conclusion? A) The temperature increases with depth below the surface. B) Only very small plants can grow below the surface of water. C) Very few animals feed on plants deep below the surface of water.

Answer:

D) Plants below the surface receive less sunlight than those on the surface.

Explanation:

Since the light cannot penetrate deep in sea, the plants present at the surface differ from those presence below the surface. The plants present below the surface carry different type of pigment that is able to trap the light available below the surface.  

Example: Red algae are found in relatively deep water since it has pigment phycoerythrin that can trap the blue light available in deep sea.

Excitatory neurotransmitters influence the receiving neuron to _____, whereas inhibitory neurotransmitters influence the receivi
Viktor [21]

Excitatory neurotransmitters cause the neuron to fire, and Inhibitory neurotransmitters cause the neuron not to fire.

Impulses are the signals passed from one neuron to another on the action of a stimulus. The impulses passed can be electrical or chemical. Neurotransmitters are the chemical molecules that help in the transfer of impulses between two neurons.

Chemicals like epinephrine, norepinephrine, and glutamate when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron activate the receptors of other neurons, thereby initiating the other neuron to fire. These chemicals are called excitatory neurotransmitters.

Chemicals like GABA and glycine, when released from the synaptic cleft of one neuron do not activate the receptors of other neurons and hence the neurons will not fire the impulse. These chemicals are called inhibitory neurotransmitters.

Warming of more than 5 degrees Celcius occured over<span> 15-20 thousand years because of input of more than 2000 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere.

The sporophyte of an unknown plant species grows as a separate plant than the gametophyte. The plant produces both female and fl
N76 [4]

Answer:

The correct answer would be "The plant is a fern, and sporophyte is its dominant phase".

Ferns refer to the lower plants which do not bear flowers, have leafy or feathery fronds, and they reproduce by spores.

They show alternation of generation in which sporophyte is the dominant stage.

The mature diploid sporophyte releases haploid spores with the help of meiotic divisions.

The haploid spore divides by mitotic division and matures into a haploid gametophyte. The single gametophyte bears antheridium and archegonium which release flagellated male gametes and egg (female gamete) respectively with the help of mitotic division.

The gametes fertilize to produce a diploid zygote.

The zygote divides mitotically and matures into the diploid sporophyte.

What is the number of atoms in 0.25 moles of cobalt?
motikmotik
Number of mole s of H
2
​
= 0.25 moles
number of molecules = moles * Avogadro’s Number
number of molecules = 0.25×(6.022×10
23
)
number of molecules = 1.505×10
23

single molecule of hydrogen contains two H-atoms. So,
number of atoms = 2×(1.505×10
