What are bio-fuels considered carbon neutral?

“The U.S. government considers biodiesel to be carbon-neutral because the plants that are the sources of the feedstocks for making biodiesel, such as soybeans and palm oil trees, absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) as they grow. The absorption of CO2 by these plants offsets the CO2 that forms while making and burning biodiesel.”

Luba_88 [7]

Since you forgot to put capital letters i assume it's like this:

1)A Cross between YyLl (heterozygous parent with dominant traits) and yyll (homozygous parent with recessive traits).

 2)offspring YyLl: 400, Yyll: 100, yyLl: 100 and yyll: 400

The recombinant offspring are allele combinations that are not directly inherited from the parents.
The parents combinations:YyLl and yyll,
The recombinant combinations: Yyll and yyLl
The other types are exacly like the parents so they are not recombinant.

answer: Yyll and yyLl

What happens to energy that is released from food, but not captured and store into ATP?

nignag [31]

Answer:

In conditions of low or no oxygen the process of anaerobic respiration occurs. The 'an' in 'anaerobic' means without. During anaerobic respiration, the oxidation of glucose is incomplete - not all of the energy can be released from the glucose molecule as it is only partially broken down.

Consider the clinical scenario: Semen is very low in volume and the sperm cells have difficulty with motility because there isn'

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Seminal vesicle

Explanation:

Seminal vesicle secretes an alkaline and viscous fluid that constitutes about 60% of the volume of semen. The fluid secreted by seminal vesicle contains fructose which is a monosaccharide sugar, prostaglandins, and clotting proteins. The alkaline nature of the seminal fluid neutralizes the acidic environment of the male urethra and the female reproductive tract. This is required as the acidic conditions inactivate and kill sperm.

The fructose sugar serves a fuel for ATP production by sperm. Prostaglandins are responsible for sperm motility and viability as they stimulate smooth muscle contractions within the female reproductive tract. Therefore, a malfunctioning seminal vesicle would result in low semen volume and reduced motility due to the scarcity of energy.

The mass of an electron is

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

not significant to the overall mass of the atom

Explanation:

The mass number of an atom is the combination of the mass of the protons and neutrons. Electrons are not included because their mass are so insignificant that is doesn't change the total mass much, therefore they are left out. The mass of an electron is about 1,830 times smaller than protons and neutrons.
