Answer:

D. The banyan can grow in areas prone to hurricanes and typhoons because

the roots make the tree more stable in high winds.

Explanation:

According to this question, banyan tree posseses a unique characteristic in which roots grow down from its branches into the ground making the tree appear to have several trunks. This type of root is called STILT OR PROP roots.

The major function of this stilt roots is to provide additional support for the plant during adverse conditions. Hence, a major advantage that this root characteristic give the banyan tree over other trees is that it confers resilience upon the banyan tree, making it able to grow in areas prone to hurricanes and typhoons because the roots make the tree more stable in high winds.

Which of the following statements correctly describes some aspect of ATP hydrolysis being used to drive the active transport of
saw5 [17]

Answer:

B) This is an example of energy coupling

Explanation:

Energy coupling is a process by which cells carry out thermodynamically unfavorable, endergonic (energy-requiring) reactions to other exergonic (reactions that liberate free energy) reactions.

Reactions which are endergonic do not occur spontaneously as they result in a decrease in entropy and a positive free energy change, ∆G.

Exergonic reactions occur spontaneously as they result in an increase in entropy and have a negative free energy change, ∆G.

For example, the active transport of ions against their concentration gradients in cells is a non-spontaneous endergonic process which is coupled to the hydrolysis of ATP, an exergonic process in other for the reaction to proceed. ATP hydrolysis phosphorylates an amino acid side chain in the transport protein which then drives the forward process of transport of the ion.

Considering the above,

Option A: The hydrolysis of ATP is endergonic, and the active transport is exergonic is false because ATP hydrolysis is exergonic while active transport is endergonic.

Option B: This is an example of energy coupling is true.

Option C: Both ATP hydrolysis and active transport are spontaneous because they result in an increase in entropy of the system is false because only ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous

Option D: Neither ATP hydrolysis nor active transport is spontaneous is false because ATP hydrolysis is spontaneous.

Option E: ATP is acting as a transport protein to facilitate the movement of the ion across the plasma membrane is false because ATP is not a protein, rather it serves to activate the transport protein by phosphorylating it.

Why are biological membranes important to the body?
Kay [80]
Photosynthesis, the process whereby plants use light from the Sun to convert CO2 into organic compounds such as sugars, and oxygen, is one of the most important natural processes on Earth. This is a sophisticated system with a highly regulated shuttle traffic of ions and molecules that passes through several membranes. I hope I helped you and good luck and I am sorry I know it’s late at night it’s just I love to help people and I ate to much sugar

Lee la siguiente situación, y diseña un experimento. (No tienes que realizarlo)
Lynna [10]

Answer:

- Luis quiere saber si los cristales de yodo pueden disuelverse en distintos líquidos  

- Luis necesita cristales de yodo, agua, alcohol y aceite mineral

- La hipótesis de trabajo puede ser: "los cristales de yodo se disuelven en distintos líquidos", con lo cual la hipótesis alternativa indicaría que los cristales de iodo no se disuelven

- La recopilación de los datos puede consistir en la realización de tres experimentos en los cuales los cristales de yodo son sumergidos en agua (1° experimento), alcohol (2° experimento) y aceite (3° experimento).  

Explanation:

En el método científico, la pregunta científica refiere a una cuestión particular la cual es planteada con el objetivo de responder algún aspecto particular del mundo real. A partir del planteamiento de una pregunta científica es posible formular dos hipotésis denominadas hipotésis nula e hipótesis alternativa, las cuales representan supocisiones contrapuestas que permiten contestar dicha cuestión. Subsecuentemente, los científicos realizan experimentos y/o observaciones que permiten recopilar datos cuyos resultados son utilizados para confirmar (o rechazar) la hipótesis nula. Por otra parte, es necesario resaltar que durante el proceso de experimentación se requiere de la utilización de controles positivos y negativos que permitirán corroborar si dichos experimentos fueron realizados correctamente.

4) Study the wings of the birds in the two images below. Which of the following words applies to only one of the wing structures
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The answer is A) Homologous structures

Explanation:

Homologous Structures:

  • Homologous structures are anatomical features in an organism that are structurally and functionally diverse but they originate from a single common ancestor.
  • Homologous structures possess a similar basic internal structure but can have entirely different morphology and function.
  • For example, the wings of a bat and a human's arm have the same internal structure but they have different functions.
  • Vestigial structures are evolutionary remnants that no longer serve a purpose in modern forms or descendants of the original organism.
  • Inherited and developmental are out of context in terms of evolutionary relationships.
