Why do sea turtles lay eggs in a terrestrial environment?

Biology
1 answer:
DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

For the eggs to survive and have a chance of hatching, sea turtles must lay their eggs on sandy beaches. As they are developing, the embryos breathe air through a membrane in the eggs, and so they cannot survive if they are continuously covered with water.

Explain how the recessive trait for coat colour is hidden in cats when two parents that are purebred for different fur colour ar
AleksAgata [21]
When two parents are purebred it means that they are homozygous for the characteristic that's being tested (in this case the fur colour). When they are crossed, the offspring will obligatory be heterozygous, an allele of each type from its parents. So, the trait that comes up will be the dominant trait, while the recessive trait will be hidden.

How would an x-ray technician position the camera to produce a frontal view of a patient's abdominal cavity?
leva [86]

Answer: Option A. "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel"

Explanation:

The X-ray of abdominal cavity is known as Abdominal x-ray. It has same principle as X-ray and uses ionizing radiation to take pictures of inner parts of abdominal cavity such as intestine, stomach, liver and spleen. it is used to diagnose patients with vomiting, unexplained pain, and nausea.

While diagnosing  patient's abdominal cavity, x-ray technician position the camera in front of the patient, pointing at his navel in order to produce a frontal view of abdominal cavity.

Talking about a x-ray machine, it is a compact apparatus which can be taken to the patient in a hospital bed or the emergency room. The x-ray tube connects flexible arm which further extends towards the patient and an x-ray film holder (image recording) plate is placed under the patient.

The technologist will ask the patient to take position on the x-ray table or bed and will position x-ray machine over the abdominal area of the patient, in order to take the frontal view of abdominal cavity. The patient will be asked to hold their breathe to get a clear picture. The technician will turn on the x-ray machine that allows  x-ray machine  to produce a small burst of radiation which passes through the abdominal area and records the frontal view of  patient's abdominal cavity. As a result, soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black while bones appear white on the x-ray, through which patient can be diagnosed.

Hence, the correct option is A "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel".

Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?
IrinaK [193]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: Why do organisms without oxygen need to convert pyruvate to lactate?

A) because pyruvate is toxic to the cells

B) in order to regenerate NAD+

C) in order to use lactate in the citric acid cycle

D) because lactate is needed to produce ATP

Answer:

B) in order to regenerate NAD+

Explanation:

Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) are the aerobic stages of cellular respiration. ETC regenerates NAD+ and FAD+ by oxidation of NADH and FADH2 produced during glycolysis and Kreb's cycle. Here, oxygen serves as the terminal electron acceptor.

Glycolytic reactions use NAD+ as an electron acceptor and produce NADH. Therefore, a constant supply of NAD+ is required to sustain glycolysis. In absence of oxygen, ETC cannot occur and organisms convert pyruvate into lactate. Pyruvate is reduced in lactate and NADH serves as the electron donor. Thereby, lactate fermentation regenerates NAD+ to continue the process of glycolysis.

Mary and Tommy are measuring 10 grams of sugar on an electronic balance that measures to the hundredths of a gram. Tommy records
PolarNik [594]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Precision refers to the closeness of two or more measurements to each other.

For Example: If you weigh a given substance five times and you get 3.2 kg each time. Then the measurement is very precise.  

Accuracy refers to the closeness of a measured value to a standard or known value.

For Example: If the mass of a substance is 32 kg and one person weighed 31 kg and another person weighed 29 kg. Then, the weight measured by first person is more accurate.

According to the question:

Mass weighed by Mary = 10.00 g

Mass weighed by Tommy = 10 g

As, mass weighed by Mary is reported upto 2 decimal places. Thus, it is more precise.

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.
