How do contractile vacuoles help amoebas maintain homeostasis?
givi [52]
Single celled organisms such as amoebas, especially those that live in fresh water, continually gain water from their surrounding environment by osmosis. This water is pumped into a contractile vacuole which fills with fluid and periodically fuses with the cell membrane, releasing its contents to the exterior. Thus the amount of water actively transported out of the cell is equal to the amount of water entering the cell due to osmosis and there are no variations in the tonicity of the cell. This is homeostasis at a simple level. Without the contractile vacuole, the amoeba would continue to absorb water until its cytoplasmic contents were diluted to such an extent that metabolism no longer occurred and it would die.

in dogs, wire hair (S) is dominant to smooth (s). Cross of a homozygous wire-haired dog with a smooth-haired dog and show the ge
vesna_86 [32]
 You need to create a table like the one below and show that, if crossed, these two dogs would create 100% wire-haired dogs, but with smooth genotype. They will be heterozygous wire-haired, because the wire hair dominates over the smooth hair.

The genotype is the genes you can't see, and phenotype is what you can see. So some traits can just be in your genotype, so you don't have them but your children can get them. If there are two different traits in your genes the dominant ones will win and will be the ones you see. There needs to be two recessive genes for that gene to win. I hope this was clear. It's a little complicated!

The role of the excretory system is to rid the body of toxic waste products. Which of these body systems also plays a direct rol
hammer [34]

Answer:

The correct answer would be C) respiratory system.

Respiratory system is made up of set of organs which help in taking in oxygen and expelling out carbon dioxide from the body.

In humans, it is composed of nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, pair of lungs, and diaphragm.

Alveoli (in lungs) are the site of gaseous exchange where oxygen is exchange with carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is the toxic waste product of cellular respiration. Circulatory system helps in transporting CO₂ from cells to the alveolar site where it is exchanged with oxygen and excreted out as a part of exhaled air.
