Answer: Contractile vacuole of amoeba will shrink/contract when the organism is placed in sea water.
Contractile vacuole is a subcellular structure ( mainly found in protists) that is involved in the regulation of water quantity inside a cell.
As we know that water always flow from a hypotonic ( where solute concentration is less) to a hypertonic ( where solute concentration is more) solution. Sea water is a hypertonic solution as the concentration of salt is very high. Therefore, in this case, water will flow from contractile vacuole to outside of the organism.
Thus, contractile vacuole of amoeba will contract as it will lose water when placed in sea water.
Answer:
They are Chloroplasts, since Chloroplasts are green and maybe moving.
Answer:
1. Carbon is moving from the living things in the tank into the air when they respirate, and from the air back into plants via photosynthesis
2. The amount of carbon in living things is increasing as plants use the carbon in the atmosphere, and animals eat the plants.
Explanation:
According to the question, a well sealed tank contains air, plants and animals. Since light can get into the tank, plants can perform photosynthesis. Living things in the tank release carbon in form of carbondioxide (CO2) gas through respiration. Plants then make use of this carbondioxide (CO2) to synthesize carbon-containing food (glucose) in the presence of sunlight. This process is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
Animals eat those plants and the stored carbon in the plants gets transferred to them. The animals release this carbon into the air again in the form of carbondioxide when they respire. Hence, carbon in the tank moves from the living things (respiration) into the air and back into plants (photosynthesis).
2. Since the amount of carbon in the air is decreasing, the carbon is being used by the living things in the tank. Plants absorb the carbon in the atmosphere for photosynthesis, then animals eat the plants to get the carbon. Therefore, the amount of carbon in the living things is increasing.
Yes, the color shown on the leaf gives you the pigment.
Answer:
Golgi apparatus, because it packages proteins received from the ER
Explanation:
The function of the endoplasmic reticulum is to produce proteins. It can be smooth or rough. The rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes, which make the proteins.
The Golgi apparatus receives proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and modifies and sorts them. They are then concentrated and packed into vesicles which are released out of the cell membrane.
If the endoplasmic reticulum is removed, proteins cannot be made and the Golgi apparatus would not be able to perform its job.
Hope that helps.
