Answer: A prokaryotic cell is a simple, single-celled (unicellular) organism that lacks a nucleus, or any other membrane-bound organelle. We will shortly come to see that this is significantly different in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic DNA is found in the central part of the cell: a darkened region called the nucleoid Unlike Archaea and eukaryotes, bacteria have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, comprised of sugars and amino acids, and many have a polysaccharide capsule (Figure 1).

Which statement best describes the hydrosphere?

vekshin1

Answer: the water on or surrounding the surface of the globe, including the water of the oceans and the water in the atmosphere.

Explanation: The hydrosphere includes water that is on the surface of the planet, underground, and in the air. A planet's hydrosphere can be liquid, vapor, or ice. On Earth, liquid water exists on the surface in the form of oceans, lakes and rivers. It also exists below ground—as groundwater, in wells and aquifers.

Match the items: a. Heart b. Blood Vessels c. Capillaries d. Lungs e. Kidney 1. Regulates blood volume 2. Can decrease blood pH

Assoli18 [71]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

I believe the correct answer is:

a: 4

b: 3

c: 5

d: 2

e: 1

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

a: Heart - Can increase blood pressure by beating faster

b: Blood vessels - Can lower blood pressure by dilating

c: Capillaries - Exchange oxygen/carbon dioxide with tissues and alveoli

d: Lungs - Can decrease blood pH by increasing respiratory rate

e: Kidney - Regulates blood volume

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a: Heart - Can increase blood pressure by beating faster</h3>

The heart is a fist sized organ in the center of the chest cavity and is lying on a wider base that is longer than its height and an apex that elongates to the left side of the chest. It functions to circulate and distribute blood to different regions of the body using blood vessels. The heart has several baroreceptors that sense a decrease in the volume of blood or pressure and it adjusts by beating faster. It also is controlled autonomously by the autonomic nervous system that will also adjust its pace when it recieves signals to do so in the case of low bloo pressure or in cases of high demand such as in a scary activity.

<h3>b: Blood vessels - Can lower blood pressure by dilating</h3>

Blood vessels are hollow tissues that have elastic walls which control the size of its luen. They function to supply blood to tissues in every region of the body. In cases when the blood pressure is too high, it recieves signals from the brain to its muscles that have beta cholinergic receptors that instruct it to dilate/relax so that blood will have inimal resistance hence less pressure as it is passing through it.

<h3>c: Capillaries - Exchange oxygen/carbon dioxide with tissues and alveoli</h3>

These are the smallest of all blood vessels and they are distributed in every region of the body. They have elastic and permeable walls which allow red blood cells carrying oxygen to move into the tissues they are moving through and also nutrients while at the same time they pick up waste and red cells that have collected carbon dioxide from the tissues. They also are densely populated in alveoli to perform the same function during respiration.

<h3>d: Lungs - Can decrease blood pH by increasing respiratory rate</h3>

CO2 is acidic while O2 is a Lewis base. In cases where the blood has a pH that is more basic than the required pH of 7.3, the body either undergoes a metabolic compensation through retaining more bases such as chloride ions. In case there is a problem with the kidney, the body triggers the respiratory system to increase the respiratory rate so that oxygen is not exposed to the alveoli for a longer time to be absored fully hence it will be in blood at a lesser percentage compared to acidic CO2 which will have a higher percentage making the blood more acidic. To understand how these work using a diagram, look at the table below for arterial blood gas.

<h3>e: Kidney - Regulates blood volume</h3>

The kidney filters blood to remove and balance fluids. In the afferent arteriole that supplies the kidney with the blood to be ultrafiltrated there are specific baroreceptrs that sense a rise or a fall in blood volume. The kidney if the volume is low will retain more ions so that it can draw water back into the vasa recta and increasing the blood volume. If the volume is too high, it will lose more ions into urine and so water will be lost as part of urination until the volume stabilizes to the correct volume.

Subduction zones are found under which kind of plate

kvv77 [185]

High rates of volcanism, earthquakes, and mountain building are the sites of subduction zones. They occur in convergent boundaries found in tectonic plates of both oceanic and continental crusts. Subduction zones occur when one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the mantle as the plates converge again.
<span>
Regions that are within subduction zones experience an average rate of convergence of 2-8 centimeters per year. They are subject to many earthquakes because of the collisions that occur within the tectonic plates. </span>

How are the Kissimmee River, Lake Okeechobee, and the Everglades related?

Taya2010 [7]

Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.

Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.
