Answer:

A) hypertonic, out of the cell.

Explanation:

When cells are exposed to high levels of salt (sodium chloride) they lose water by osmosis and shrink. The cytoplasm condenses and the movement of cellular components, such as the cytoskeleton and organelles, stops. Cells adapt to high salt by quickly importing salt in order to attract water and regain volume, at the expense of increased salt concentration. Unlike cell volume, the movements of cellular components are slow to recover and, depending on the dose of salt, may not recover fully.

Suppose that a dominant allele (P) codes for a polka-dot tail and a recessive allele (p) codes for a solid colored tail. If two

andrew11 [14]

The correct answer is B. The parents are heterozygous with polka-dot tails, so they both have Pp genotype. The combination of their genotypes (Pp x Pp) could produce 4 genotypes PP, Pp, Pp and pp. Therefore, there is 25% chance for a PP genotype, 25% for a pp genotype and 50% for a Pp genotype. The PP and Pp genotypes produce a polka-dot tail phenotype and the pp genotype produces a solid coloured tail phenotype. In conclusion, there is 75% chance for a polka-dot tail (25% for a PP + 50% for a Pp) and a 25% for a solid coloured tail phenotype (25% for a pp).

What is not a property of water that helps make water essential for life on Earth?

Anna007 [38]

So the the main forces that keep the water on the surface of the planet are to do with plate tectonics. If the plates were to stop moving, the water probably would eventually be absorbed into the interior, although this process would take a very long time indeed.

Answer:

a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity

b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.

c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.

Explanation:

a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.

b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).

c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
