In response to shortened day length and cool temperatures in the fall, many trees begin a period of senescence when the breakdow

n of chlorophyll exceeds chlorophyll production. The leaves of these trees appear to change to yellow and orange. Using your knowledge of photosynthetic pigments, explain the source of these yellow-orange hues.

Answer:

Explanation:

The four elements been referred to here are hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen.

These four elements constitute the majority of the human body because of a combination of factors. Although, some of these factors are the major reasons, for instance the human body is made up of cells which are the basic structures of life. The cell consists of over 70% of water (which is made of hydrogen and oxygen). Also, oxygen is inhaled through the process of respiration which combines with other molecules (such as haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin) in the human body. These among others make oxygen the most abundant element in the human body.

Naturally occurring organisms usually have a high concentration of organic molecules (molecules made of majorly carbon and hydrogen). This makes the human body have a high percentage (after oxygen) of carbon and hydrogen. Also, carbohydrates (which are later converted to glucose) form a large part of our diet and are stored in the body as glycogen (causing the body to have a high amount of carbon and hydrogen atoms).

Nitrogen is an essential part/element found in amino acids which are building blocks of protein. Proteins are involved in several metabolic activities in the body; this makes the abundance of nitrogen the fourth (one of the four) most common element in the body. It should be noted that amino acids also have carbon and hydrogen elements also.

The combination of the factors above among some other factors make the human body comprise mainly of these four elements

In what ways are their motivations similar to and different from Alexander Hamilton's?

Answer:

The major similarity between these two is in their ideas about inequality. Alexander Hamilton believed that society should be somewhat hierarchical. He, unlike his rival Thomas Jefferson, did not believe that everyone in the society should be equal in economic or even in political terms.

The daughter cells are genetically identical because they each contain the same diploid chromosome complement as the original parent cell. It can be seen in the stages shown above that mitosis maintains the chromosome number or complement of a cell.

Mitosis therefore maintains the chromosome complement and ensures that each daughter cell receives all the genetic information needed to carry out its activities and functions.

What does the process of diffusion do for the cell
dybincka [34]

Diffusion is important to the cell because it is the process by which useful molecules enter the cell and waste products removed from the cell.

Without diffusion, cells and tissues of the body can not get important nutrients and gases for survival and would die.

An example is the eye. The eyes lack a great  number of blood vessels (which carry oxygen that diffuses into cells) and must have an extra supply of oxygen. The atmosphere provides the extra needed oxygen which is taken up into the cells of the eye by diffusing through the cornea and thus the eye is kept functioning. If this does not happen , the eye would dry out.
