In order to determine the rate of photosynthesis (the conversion by plants of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen),

the oxygen gas emitted by an aquatic plant is collected over water at a temperature of 293 K and a total pressure of 754.8 mmHg. Over a specific time-period, a total of 1.31 L of gas is collected. The partial pressure of water at 293 K is 17.55 mmHg. What mass of oxygen gas (in grams) forms

Answer:

1.6896 grams

Explanation:

Given that:

Total pressure = The pressure of  O_2 + partial pressure of H_2O

∴

The pressure of  O_2  = Total pressure - partial pressure of H_2O

= (754.8 - 17.55) mmHg

= 737.25 mmHg

At standard conditions:

1 mmHg = 0.00131579 atm

∴

737.25 mmHg will be: (737.25*0.00131579) atm = 0.970065928 atm

P ≅ 0.97 atm

The temperature  (T) = 293 K

Volume (V) = 1.31 L

Using ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

0.97 × 1.31 = n × 0.0821 × 293

n = \dfrac{0.97 \times 1.31}{0.0821 \times 293}

n = 0.0528

mass of oxygen  O_2 = no. of moles * molar mass

= 0.0528 * 32

= 1.6896 grams

How does polygenic inheritance differ from mendelian inheritance
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Mainly, the number of genes that control traits.

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance does not follow Mendel's law of dominance. According to Mendel the dominant trait will mask the recessive trait however, this is not always the case. Polygenic inheritance states that traits are controlled by two or more genes and is also dependent on the environment.

Let's take skin color for example. A fair-skinned person will have a child with a dark-skinned person.

Mendelian inheritance would assume that the offspring would either be fair or dark only.

Polygenic inheritance would assume that the offspring would be either fair, dark, or a tone in between, depending on the environment they are in as well.

Hope you understood it.

What characteristic of earth results in different seasons over a period of a year
Firdavs [7]
The earth's tilt. The tilt of the Earth on it's axis is what makes the sun heat up different parts of the Earth at different times, thus making wind, thus making different weather patterns. Depending on how much sun (heat) the area is getting, it changes the weather.

How would scientists know that there is life existing outside of Earth? What do they use?
worty [1.4K]
They would know if they see anything like traces of water or anything else that would be nessecary for a living organism to have. They look for these with technology like the hubble telescope as well as the drone on Mars to gather as much information as possible.

Adjacent plant cells have narrow channels called plasmodesmata that pass through the cell walls of the connected cells and allow
tatuchka [14]

Answer:1. They allow the movement of molecules from one cell to another, enabling communication between cells.

Explanation:the cell wall is a rigid and cellulose containing wall, which surrounds the plasma membrane.

During lignification, small pores appear on the cell wall through which cytoplasmic strands extend.these pores are the plasmodesmata,which provides connections between plant cells
