Roads are sometimes salted in the winter to prevent ice build up. When the ice and snow melt, the water can also carry salt off

the road. What would you hypothesize would happen to plants along the roadside?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>When the salt water resulting from using salt to thaw ice and snow is washed off the road, the nearby plants along the roadside would be subjected to osmotic stress due to the lower water potential of the soil water when compared to that of their cells. Consequently, the plants are expected to lose water to the surrounding salt solution until an equilibrium is established between their cytosols and the soil solution. </em>

A group of cells is assayed for DNA content immediately following mitosis and is found to have an average of 4 picograms of DNA
damaskus [11]

Answer:

b: 8;8

Explanation:

Mitotic or meiotic cell division constitute the m phase of the cell cycle. At the end of the m phase, the new cells enter the interphase stage of the cell cycle. The interphase is further sub-divided into;

  • <em>the G_0 phase,</em>
  • <em>the G_1 phase,</em>
  • <em>the S phase; and</em>
  • <em>the G_2 phase</em>.

The G_0 phase is essentially a resting phase. Cells that do not need to divide except when necessary move into this phase after exiting the m phase.

Actively dividing cells enter the G_1 phase after exiting the m phase. Cell development and growth takes place. From there, the cells enter the S phase where DNA replication/synthesis takes place. The cells then enter the G_2 phase where proteins are synthesized in preparation for division or m phase.

At the S phase, the amount of DNA a cell carries is doubled but the chromosome number remains the same. For example, if a cell enters the S phase with 2 g of DNA containing 10 chromosomes, at the end of S phase, the amount of DNA would have come 4 g while the number of chromosomes will remain 10.

Hence, if the average amount of DNA in the assayed cells immediately after mitosis is 4 picograms, the amount would be 8 picograms at the end of S phase and will still remains 8 picograms at the end of G_2 phase.

The correct option is b.

In conditions of stress or fear, the human adrenal gland may produce adrenaline. Which of the following is an effect adrenaline
kvasek [131]
<span>Adrenaline can change many things including increasing blood pressure, heart rate, reflexes, physical and psychological capabilities, and many more. When under stress, adrenaline is released to help the body defend itself from that stress. That's why when children are drowning, for example, those saving them must be extremely careful because a child can due to adrenaline become even stronger than an adult and can accidentaly drown the adult.</span>

How do glycolysis, pyruvate processing, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain work together to provide energy for th
Ivahew [28]

When the cell gains glucose, the process of glycolysis occurs and then the glucose is broken down into pyruvate.  

Now, in pyruvate processing, Acetyl CoA is produced and used in the Krebs Cycle.

During that process, NADH and FADH2 are made and go into the electron transport chain. That is where water and ATP are made.

Imagine that the islands of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea are getting progressively smaller and farther apart as wate
mezya [45]

Answer:

a)

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that two or more populations of toads will form that are genetically distinct from each other because the toads will eventually become isolated on each island. This is mainly due to one population beating out the other in each island and/or adapting the the unique features of the island.
