Determine what organ is being represented by the statement.

Biology

A 3.5-inch worm-like projection found in the base of the colon would be the appendix while a 4.5-inch long, shoe-shaped organ found on the left side of the abdomen would be the spleen.

<h3>Appendix and spleen</h3>

The appendix is a small vestigial organ found at the base of the colon. It is about a 3.5-inch long worm-like projection.

The appendix is often described as vestigial because scientists are yet to ascertain its functions in the body.

The spleen, on the other hand, is a shoe-shaped organ located close to the liver on the left-hand side of the abdomen. It is about 4.5-inches long and its functions include filtering blood,  producing white blood cells and antibodies, etc.

tamaranim1 [39]

Hello! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. The way that the younger plant looks the same as the parent plant is because of "Asexual Reproduction". Asexual Reproduction is how plants can reproduce. Considering it is a plant and not a human asexual means that plants reproduce without the need of "sexual intercourse".

I hope that this helps! :P

Which of the following is a method used to prevent soil depletion?
ratelena [41]
<span>The best method used to prevent soil depletion would be contour farming. 

In contour farming, the land is tiled in consistent elevation. Contour farming is efficient in reducing soil depletion because it can conserve rain water and reduce the erosion of soil. 

If there is no contour farming in your option, then choose A. Adding fertilizer. </span>

jeka94

Answer:

D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.

Explanation:

The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.

The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.

In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.
