Answer:

Transport of carbon dioxide in the blood is considerably more complex. A small portion of carbon dioxide, about 5 percent, remains unchanged and is transported dissolved in blood. The remainder is found in reversible chemical combinations in red blood cells or plasma. Some carbon dioxide binds to blood proteins, principally hemoglobin, to form a compound known as carbamate.

What type of isolation was occurring in the collared lizard population?

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Dispersal

Explanation:

It should be understood that there was a point in time when the collard lizards were going into extinction. This is due to some certain human activities such as bush burning, which caused the death of this particular creature and others.

Therefore, this activity led to the dispersal of the remaining member of the population, which resulted to being isolated on a mountain.

If we take the wolf as a species, then we can easily find its place and evolutionary path through this cladogram of chordates. The wolf is a vertebrate, so we start from vertebrae. It is an animal that has jaws and paired appendages. Continuing further up the cladogram we reach the development of lungs, and the wolfs have lungs for breathing. Then we come to the development of four limbs, and the wolfs have four limbs. Next comes the endothermy, meaning that the animal is able to regulate its own body temperature, thus it is warmblooded, and the wolfs are warmblooded animals. As last we come to the mammals, and the wolfs are part of the mammals, so we can classify them in that branch of the chordate cladogram.

3. In a field of sugar beets in Georgia the net primary productivity is 120 grams/m^2/day, and the

konstantin123 [22]

Answer and Explanation:

Available Data:

1 gr beets = 2,000 cal

NPP = GPP – Respiration = 120 grams/m2/day

NPP= Net primary productivity of a system

GPP= Gross productivity of the producers

Respiration loss 25% of NPP

Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm2/day

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

1) Find the gross productivity of the sugar beets.

We need to calculate the GPP, which equals NPP - Respiration rate. The respiration loss is 25% of the NPP. This is:

100% NPP--------------- 120 g/m²/day

25% NPP ----------------X = (25 x 120)/100 = 30 g/m²/day

Now that we know the values of NPP and respiration rate, we can calculate the GPP.

GPP = NPP - Respiration

GPP = 120 (g/m²/day) - 30 (g/m²/day)

GPP = 90 g/m²/day

GPP = 0.009 g/cm²/day

2) Using the NPP, calculate the efficiency of photosynthesis for the sugar beets.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

We know the NPP, but this value is calculated in g/m²/day, while the Insolation energy is in g/cm²/day. We need to calculate the % Efficiency of Photosynthesis in cm. To do that, we must transform the information.

So if 1 m² = 10,000 cm², then:

10,000cm²----------120 grams/m²/day NPP

1 cm²---------------- (1 x 120) / 10,000 = 0.012 grams/cm²/day NPP

We also know that 1 gr beets = 2,000 cal, and that the Insolation energy is 800 calories/cm²/day

So we need to transform Insolation energy from calories/cm²/day to grams/cm²/day, so:

2,000 calories ----------------- 1 gr beet

800 calories/cm²/day---------X = 0.4 gr beet.

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (NPP/Insolation Energy) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = (0.012 (gr/cm2/day) /0.4 (gr/cm2/day)) X 100

% Efficiency of Photosynthesis = 3 gr/cm2/day
