Answer: True
Explanation: The U.S. population is projected to increase from 312.2 million in 2010 to 400.9 million in 2050.33 For this four-decade period, that is an increase of 28% at an average annual rate of 0.6%. The anticipated annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is significantly slower than in the past. In the six decades from 1950 to 2010, the U.S. population had increased from 157.8 million to 312.2 million, a total gain of 98% at an average annual rate of 1.1%. Thus, the projected annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is only about half the rate of growth experienced in the recent past. The projected slowdown in population growth is even sharper in the world overall. From 1950 to 2010, the world population increased from 2.5 billion to 6.9 billion, or by 174%. The average annual rate of growth—1.7%—was much higher than in the U.S. In the future, the global population is expected to increase from 6.9 billion in 2010 to 9.6 billion in 2050, or by 38%. The average annual rate of growth—0.8%—is only slightly higher than the rate projected for the U.S.
I hope this helps you!
It's been a while, but I think I can answer this. Concentration gradients tend to shift from high concentration to lower concentrations for equilibrium. So if the water potential is more in the soil and plant, but less in the air, water will want to travel from the soil, through the plant into the air.
<span>Water evaporates into the atmosphere through the means of transpiration. As the water evaporates, it tends to pull more water molecules up along the xylem. This is known as transpiration pull, where because of surface tension of water and capillary action, water is pulled up along the xylem due to transpiration. This is not the only mechanism of water movement in plants however. </span>
<span>Anyways, from the example of transpiration pull, you can see the role of water potential as the water potential in the soil, being high, flows through the plant, and into the air.</span>
Answer:
Osmosis is the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane according to the concentration gradient of water across the membrane, which is inversely proportional to the concentration of solutes. ... The semipermeable membrane limits the diffusion of solutes in the water.
Explanation:
Answer: a. oxygen
Basically what (/the) ETC and oxidative phosphorylation is, is the products of the Krebs cycle being oxidized and oxygen receiving electrons. And when the phosphorylation part of oxidative phosphorylation occurs is when ADP gains its third phosphate group becoming ATP.
Forgive me for this poor response I was trying to be quick and it resulted in this vague and disorganized mess. To properly explain the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation it would be best to start from the beginning and explain all the stages of Aerobic respiration. Then it would be easier to Segway in to this final stage which would definitely take 2-3 descriptive paragraphs to cover.
Answer:
B. polio—polyhedral shape
Explanation:
A virus is a small parasite which cannot self reproduce. For a virus to produce more viruses, it uses the cell to duplicate itself. Viruses contain RNA or DNA as their genetic material.
Poliovirus is composed of an RNA genetic material and it is responsible for Polio. Polio leads to paralysis and is transmitted through contaminated water or food, or contact with an infected person.
The shape of Poliovirus is formed by polyhedral (many-sided) shell or capsid.
