Using your understanding of diffusion, how do you think oxygen from our lungs is transported to our red blood cells?

Red blood cells (RBCs) are a type of blood cell whose role is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the peripheral tissues of the body. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the RBCs, where it binds to hemoglobin. One molecule of hemoglobin can bind four molecules of oxygen (O2).

Answer:

Vasopressin

Explanation:

Vasopressin is an anti-diuretic hormone. Its main function is to control the osmolality and volume of body fluids, helping the body to lose fluids. The secretory neurons are activated as a result of increased osmotic pressure or reduced blood pressure, which is also reduced by this hormone. The release of this hormone has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, causing water retention to increase, acting as an antidiuretic hormone. The increased permeability of the collecting tubules and the thick ascending branches of the Henle loop, resulting from the exposure of aquaporins to the apical membrane, enables the diffusion of water found in the tubule cells to the medullary region of the kidney.

One tactic to help bee populations stay healthy is raising hygienic bees. Hygienic bees contribute to overall disease resistance

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Crossing the hygienic queen with hygienic drones.

Explanation:

For producing hygienic workers (females) in the F2 generation, the hygienic queen must be cross with hygienic drones. Due to this crossing most of the offspring produced will be hygienic due to presence of dominant allele of hygienic. Both the male and the female bees have dominant allele of hygienic so the maximum number of offspring produced will be of hygienic and very low number of offspring is produced having unhygienic allele.

How many times and during which phase of meiosis do the chromosome replicate?

Travka [436]

Interphase is divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G 2 (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase. It is the preparatory phase for the cell before cell division.
