Cross pollination is advantageous because it allows for diversity in the species, as the genetic information of different plants are combined. However, it relies on the existence of pollinators that will travel from plant to plant. Self pollination leads to more uniform progeny, meaning that the species is, for example, less resistant as a whole to disease.
Answer:
Producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers
Explanation:
Answer:
Explanation:
Red cells contain a special protein called hemoglobin, which helps carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and then returns carbon dioxide from the body to the lungs so it can be exhaled. Blood appears red because of the large number of red blood cells, which get their color from the hemoglobin.
Answer:
H+
Explanation:
Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.
As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.
Simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion both allow molecules to cross the cell membrane without any expenditure of energy by the cell. They are each classified as a type of passive transport.
