nly water. Assuming there is no change in water temperature, which flask will have the lowest dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration, at what time? A. DO will always be lower in the flask with duckweed compared to the control. B. DO will always be higher in the flask with duckweed compared to the control. C. The flask with duckweed will have the lowest DO at the end of the dark cycle and the highest DO at the end of the light cycle. D. DO will be the same between the control and the duckweed-containing flask.

Duckweed performs photosynthesis. Photosynthesis produces oxygen. They take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. So, when it is kept in the light cycle it will produce oxygen which will get dissolved in the water.

But the flask with water does not contain dissolved oxygen. So, at the end of light cycle the flask containing the plant will have more DO.

Now, in dark the plant does not produce oxygen. Instead it uses it to break the glucose and produce carbon dioxide. While this is not the case with the flask without the weed.

So, the flask without the plant will have more DO then the flask with the plant.

So, at the end of light cycle the flask with the weed will have more oxygen while at the end of dark cycle the flask with water will have more DO.

Write a paragraph 4-5 sentences as to which one you think is better sexual or asexual reproduction
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Asexual

Explanation:

I think Asexual reproduction is better because you only need one reproduction Creature. For example plants, they are asexual so they do not need to worry about mating. Instead they can just create more plants by doing nothing. This helps us because we get more plants in a shorter amount of time. another example of Asexual reproduction is cross-pollination which is also an amazing way of creating more plants in a shorter time.

<span>Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together. (Domesticated) animals are known as breeds, normally bred by a professional breeder, while domesticated plants are known as (varieties), cultigens, or cultivars. Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a (crossbreed). Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals. </span>

Afforestation in the direct opposite of deforestation which is act of cutting down and destruction of forest trees. Trees are important part of our natural environment which plays economic, biological and chemical roles in the lives of the masses. Most notably, forest trees acts as carbon sink which in turn reduces depletion of the ozone layer. Even though their are economic derivatives in the cutting selling of forest planks for various purposes, tree planting culture must be legislated in other to avoid excessive use of forest reserves.
