Explanation:

Since the student created a closed ecosystem, therefore, the system will have lack of oxygen for any living organism.

Therefore, when snails are placed into it then due to non-availability of sufficient amount of oxygen the snails died.

Whereas effect of closed system on plants cannot be observed as plants do not move from their place.

Thus, we can conclude that due to lack of oxygen snails die in the closed ecosystem.

They may have ran out of oxygen, or they may not have been water dwelling snails, as not all are, lack of food, no flow of water into and out of the tank would cause them to run out of oxygen.

Iodine is a yellowish solution. A starch solution is white. A starch solution turns purplish-black in the presence of iodine. If
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- the color change will be observed and the solution will turn purplish-black.

Explanation:

Iodine test is performed to test the presence of the carbohydrates mainly starch.

The iodine solution is chemically called potassium iodide which forms a yellow solution. The potassium iodide solution forms a complex with a starch solution which appears a purplish-black color which shows the presence of the carbohydrates.

In the given question, if we add the iodine solution to the beaker after a certain point of time then it will still form a complex with the starch and thus beaker solution will appear darker in color.

Because nadh generated in the cytosol cannot enter the mitochondrion, electrons and protons from nadh are transferred in by ____
klio [65]
I think the correct term to fill in the blanks would be glycerol phosphate electron shuttle. This shuttle is responsible of transporting agents that are reducing into the inner membrane of the mitochondria. Since NADH cannot enter, it is reduced so that the electrons could go in to the transport chain.
