The temperate leaves are thin to minimize absorption of sunlight, while the taiga leaves are specialized to store water during the dry season. C. The temperate leaves shed water during the wet season, while the taiga leaves can enter long periods of dormancy during colder weather. D. The temperate leaves grow in the spring and shed in the cold, while the taiga leaves are dark and wax-coated to prevent the tree from freezing.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

The temperate leaves grow in temperate forests found in America, Europe, and Asia. This biome comprise of trees have evergreen conifers with needle like leaves. Such leaves can endure wide change of temperature and light. Some vegetation of temperate biome are conifers such as Pine, Hemlock and other. The trees shed their leaves with the beginning of fall and new leaves are delivered in late-winter  to protect from the cold.

On other hand, Taiga forest is the biggest biome on the planet. This biome contain conifers with long, slender waxy needles like leaves. These waxy leaves provide security against freezing temperature and from dying drying out. In contrast to temperate they don't sheds their leaves in winter and keep their needles throughout the entire year.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY Which statement about cell theory is INCORRECT? New cells are spontaneously created from existing cells. All organisms are composed of one or more cells. Cells are the basic unit of life and structure. New cells are created from existing cells.

Answers

Answer:

New cells are spontaneously created from existing cells

Explanation:

In the 1830's, three scientists namely: Matthias Schleiden (a botanist), Theodor Schwann (a zoologist) and Rudolf Virchow proposed the Unified cell theory. In this theory, three parts were universally accepted and they are as follows:

1) Cells are the fundamental and basic unit of all life and structure.

2) All living organisms are made up of one or more of these cells.

3) New cells arise from already pre-existing cells.

These three parts are the widely accepted parts of the cell theory. Although, it was once believed that new cells arose from inorganic matter. This theory, called spontaneous generation or abiogenesis was later disapproved.

Therefore, the statement that, "new cells are spontaneously created from existing cells" is not a part of the CELL THEORY.

A. cancer cells grow in a more regulated fashion.

B. cancer cells do not need to adhere to a substratum to grow.

C. nutrient requirements for cancer cells are precisely defined.

D. cancer cells are better models for demonstrating what happens in an intact organism

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Cancer cells are easier to culture in comparison to normal cells because cancer cells do not need to adhere to a substratum to grow.

As cancer cells are uncontrolled growth of cells and they do not require any substratum to grow and can easily grow to a culture while a normal cell require optimal conditions to grow in a culture.

Hence, the correct option is "B".

a. sunlight driving photosynthesis in plants
b. herbivores feeding on plants
C. predators feeding on herbivores
d. none of the above

Answers

Answer:

d. none of the above

Explanation:

Energy, which refers to the ability to do work, can exist in different forms. The process of changing energy from one form to another is called TRANSFORMATION OF ENERGY. In an ecosystem, all organisms require energy in order to perform their life processes. They acquire these energy in different forms and convert it to a usable form by their cells (chemical energy) in ATP.

For example, solar energy in Sunlight is used by plants to drive their photosynthetic process and change it to chemical energy in glucose. Also, predators and herbivores feeding on herbivores and plants respectively converts one form of energy to another. Hence, all options are examples of energy transformation. None of the above is the correct answer.

Answer:

I think the correct answer is d ,

because all of them are an example of energy transforming in an ecosystem.

1. What changes occurred in the diameter of the onion rings that were immersed in the distilled
werter and concentrated sucrose solution? State the difference in the concentration of water
molecules in the onion cells and the solutions.
(a) Distilled water
(b) Concentrated sucrose solution
2. Explain why the changes occurred in the onion rings immersed in:
(a) distilled water;
(b) concentrated sucrose solution.

Answers

In this case, it is important to have into account the properties of hypertonic (sucrose) and hypotonic (distilled water) solutions:

Sucrose solution (higher concentration of water molecules in the onion cells) >> red onion cells will shrink >> smaller diameter.Distilled water (higher concentration of water molecules in the surrounding solution) >> red onion cells will become turgid >> higher diameter

Osmosis refers to the movement of a solvent (usually water molecules) across semipermeable biological membranes, which occurs from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. There are three classes of solutions that have different effects on cells due to the process of osmosis:In a hypotonic solution, the cells will become turgidIn an isotonic solution, the cells will become flaccidIn a hypertonic solution, the cells will shrink (plasmolysis)

When plant cells are placed into a hypertonic solution where there is a greater concentration of solute outside the cells (as in this case sucrose solution), water molecules will move from inside the cells to outside the cells, thereby cells will shrink due to water loss

Moreover, when plant cells are placed into a hypotonic solution that is diluted in comparison to the content of the cell (as in this case plant cells placed in distilled water) water molecules will move from outside the cells to inside the cells, thereby cells will become turgid.

Explanation:

Find the weight of a pine tree that has a circumference of 14 inches and a height of 120 feet. Use the equation: W = b0 + b1(D2H)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The weight of trees is calculated using the equation:

[tex]W=b_o+b_1(D^2H)[/tex]

Where W is the weight in tons, [tex]b_o \ and\ b_1[/tex] are constants , D is the diameter of the tree in inches and H s]is the height of the tree in feet.

The circumference = 14 inches. But circumference = 2πr, where r is the radius and π = 22/7. Therefore:

14 = 2(22/7)× r

14 = (44/7)×r

r= 14 × 7 / 44 = 2.23 inches

Diameter = 2r = 4.45 inches

[tex]W=b_o+b_1(4.45^2*120)\\W = b_o+2381b_1\\Let\ us\ assume\ b_o = -34.671,b_1=1.859.\\Therefore\\W = -34.671+2381(1.859)\\W=4392 \ tons[/tex]

During the 1950s, a scientist named Lysenko tried to solve the food shortages in the Soviet Union by breeding wheat that could grow in Siberia. He theorized that if individual wheat plants were exposed to cold, they would develop additional cold tolerance and pass it to their offspring. Based on the ideas of artificial and natural selection, do you think this project worked as planned

Answers

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Trofim Lysenko was a Biologist in the then Soviet Union, who did not believe in the fundamental laws of science. Selective breeding is the method developed by humans to change certain characteristics of species to desired outcomes. This is based on the fact that living things have inheritable traits encoded in genes that can be passed from one generation to another.

Lysenko did not believe in this fact. He rather believed that when exposed to the right environment, plants and animals soon become adjusted to the exposure and can then develop traits that would be passed on to their offsprings. He applied this theory of his when he exposed wheat plants to cold believing that they would develop tolerance to cold. This failed woefully and resulted in severe starvation that caused the death of millions of people in the Soviet Union.

What is inherited trait ?

Inheritance is defined as the transfer of genetic information from parents to their offspring.

The transferred characters or traits include eye color, hair color, and blood type.

Trait can be defined as the genetic character which can be transmitted by the parent to its offspring during fertilization.

The trait which is expressed phenotypically is called as dominant trait while the other trait which is not expressed called as recessive trait.

These variations are observed in the species due to survival benefits or genetic drift.

Acquired traits are acquired by an individual in his lifetime which is due to their own activities or external influence.

Like inherited traits, acquired traits are unable tp pass to the next generation like ability to dance, cook.

Which form of hypoxia reflects poor O2 delivery resulting from too few RBCs or from RBCs that contain abnormal or too little hemoglobin?
a. hypoxemic hypoxia
b. ischemic (stagnant) hypoxia
c. anemic hypoxiad. histotoxic hypoxia

Answers

Answer:

c. Anemic hypoxia

Explanation:

Hypoxia is a health condition in which the body or a region of the body is not adequately supply with oxygen  at the tissue level. Types of hypoxia include:

Hypoxemic hypoxia is a condition in which their is low level of oxygen in blood in the arteries due to the inability of the lungs to properly oxygenate blood.

Ischemic (stagnant) hypoxia is a type of hypoxia that occurs due to a decrease in blood flow preventing adequate blood supply to tissues.

Anemic hypoxia occurs when the ability of the blood to carry oxyegen is reduced due fewer red blood cells or red blood cells that contain little or abnormal hemoglobin molecules hemoglobin molecules.

Histotoxic hypoxia is hypoxia in which the cells are unable to use oxygen from the bloodstream, even though there is normal delivery of oxygen to such cells and tissues. This is due to the poisoning of the cells or tissues causing a disruption in their respiratory mechanism, for example in Cyanide poisoning.

Therefore, the correct answer is anemic hypoxia.
