Answer:
Homeostasis, from the Greek words for "same" and "steady," refers to any process that living things use to actively maintain fairly stable conditions necessary for survival. The term was coined in 1930 by the physician Walter Cannon.
Explanation:
How do the leaves help trees survive in their respective biomes? A. The temperate leaves are broad and flat to maximize sunlight absorption, while the taiga leaves are long and thin to minimize sunlight absorption. B. 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.
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.
Answer:
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

how does a single cell give rise to all the different types of cell, tissue, and organs in human body
Answer:
Over the course of hours, days, or months, the organism turns from a single cell called the zygote (the product of sperm meeting egg) into a huge, organized collection of cells, tissues, and organs. As an embryo develops, its cells divide, grow, and migrate in specific patterns to make a more and more elaborate body.

goes up. This data shows a/an
Select one:
O a direct relationship
b. indirect relationship
c. inverse relationship
O d. no relationship
Answer:
The goal of disinfection of public water supplies is the elimination of the pathogens that are responsible for waterborne diseases. The transmission of diseases such as typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, cholera, salmonellosis, and shigellosis can be controlled with treatments that substantially reduce the total number of viable microorganisms in the water.
While the concentration of organisms in drinking water after effective disinfection may be exceedingly small, sterilization (i.e., killing all the microbes present) is not attempted. Sterilization is not only impractical, it cannot be maintained in the distribution system. Assessment of the reduction in microbes that is sufficient to protect against the transmission of pathogens in water is discussed below.
Chlorination is the most widely used method for disinfecting water supplies in the United States. The near universal adoption of this method can be attributed to its convenience and to its highly satisfactory performance as a disinfectant, which has been established by decades of use. It has been so successful that freedom from epidemics of waterborne diseases is now virtually taken for granted. As stated in Drinking Water and Health (National Academy of Sciences, 1977), "chlorination is the standard of disinfection against which others are compared."
However, the discovery that chlorination can result in the formation of trihalomethanes (THM's) and other halogenated hydrocarbons has prompted the reexamination of available disinfection methodology to determine alternative agents or procedures (Morris, 1975).
The method of choice for disinfecting water for human consumption depends on a variety of factors (Symons et al., 1977). These include:
its efficacy against waterborne pathogens (bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths);
the accuracy with which the process can be monitored and controlled;
its ability to produce a residual that provides an added measure of protection against possible posttreatment contamination resulting from faults in the distribution system;
the aesthetic quality of the treated water; and
the availability of the technology for the adoption of the method on the scale that is required for public water supplies.
Economic factors will also play a part in the final decision; however, this study is confined to a discussion of the five factors listed above as they apply to various disinfectants.
The propensity of various disinfection methods to produce by-products having effects on health (other than those relating to the control of infectious diseases) and the possibility of eliminating or avoiding these undesirable by-products are also important factors to be weighed when making the final decisions about overall suitability of methods to disinfect drinking water. The subcommittee has not attempted to deal with these problems since the chemistry of disinfectants in water and the toxicology of expected by-products have been studied by other subcommittees of the Safe Drinking Water Committee, whose reports appear in Chapter III of this volume (Chemistry) and Chapter IV (Toxicity) of Drinking Water and Health, Vol. 3.
Organization of the Study
The general considerations noted in the immediately following material should be borne in mind when considering each method of disinfection. Available information on the obvious major candidates for drinking water disinfection—chlorine, ozone, chlorine dioxide, iodine, and bromine—is then evaluated for each method individually in the following sections. Other less obvious possibilities are also examined to see if they have been overlooked unjustly in previous studies or if it might be profitable to conduct further experimentation on them. Disinfection by chloramines is dealt with in parallel with that effected by chlorine because of the close relationship the former has to chlorine disinfection under conditions that might normally be encountered in drinking water treatment.
Which of the following statements is true? Bacteria and protozoa are examples of unicellular organisms. Individual cells do not need to maintain homeostasis. Most multicellular organisms reproduce through mitosis. Two identical daughter cells are created from sexual reproduction.
Answer:
Bacteria and protozoa are examples of unicellular organisms.
Explanation:
Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms in which the genetic material is not enclosed in a membrane. Bacteria are one of the oldest groups on Earth. Bacteria may inhabit diverse environments such as the deep ocean, soils, acidic hot surfaces, radioactive materials, etc. On the other hand, protozoa (also known as protozoan) are unicellular, heterotrophic, eukaryotic microorganisms, whose genetic material is enclosed within a nucleus that has a membrane. This group was originally considered to be animals because they have animal-like features including, for example, motility and predation.
The statement "Bacteria and protozoa are examples of unicellular organisms" is true. Bacteria and protozoa are both single-celled organisms.
What are the false statements?The statement "Individual cells do not need to maintain homeostasis" is false. Homeostasis is the ability of cells to regulate their internal environment to maintain a stable condition necessary for proper functioning.
The statement "Most multicellular organisms reproduce through mitosis" is false. Most multicellular organisms reproduce through a process called meiosis, which involves the formation of specialized cells called gametes.
The statement "Two identical daughter cells are created from sexual reproduction" is false. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of two gametes, resulting in the formation of a genetically diverse offspring.

when lumps of soil for clay, loam and sand are rolled in hands, the ease with which they crumble is always in the reducing order as.
A.clay,sand,loam
B.sand,clay,loam
C.sand,loam,clay
D.clay,loam,sand
Answer:
The correct answer is:
sand, loam, clay (C.)
Explanation:
Arranging the ease of crumbling in reducing other means that the different types of soils are arranged in the order where the soil type most likely to crumble when rolled is written first, and the soil type least likely to crumble is written last. The soil most likely to crumble (scatter) when rolled is the sandy soil, and the least likely to crumble is the clay soil.
A skin cell of a red fox has 34 chromosomes. You look at the cell under a microscope and see that it has 34 chromosomes and one nucleus. Several hours later, you look at the same cell a second time and see that it has double the amount of DNA and one nucleus. A little while later, you see the cell for a third time and notice that it has 68 chromosomes and two nuclei. What stage of the cell cycle was this cell in when you viewed it at each time point
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
At the first look, the cell was in G1 phase of the cell cycle. At the second look, the cell was in the G2 phase of the cell cycle, and at the third look, the cell was in Telophase.
At the G1 phase of the cell cycle, the cell mainly experiences growth and development. Nothing much happens except that the cell increases in volume.
At the G2 phase of the cell cycle, synthesis of DNA has taken place during the S phase and the amount of DNA present in a cell is doubled at this stage.
At the telophase stage of the cell division in the cell cycle, chromosomes have completed their migration to the poles and each pole appears like a nucleus with their individual chromosomes under the microscope. The cytoplasm is yet to divide at this stage, hence, everything still appears as a single cell.

The incidence of phenylketonuria (PKU), an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, is approximately 1 in 4,500 in Ireland. Assuming Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, what is the probability that an Irish female, who is phenotypically normal with no family history of PKU, and an Irish male, who like his parents does not have PKU, but does have a sister with PKU, will have a child with PKU?
Answer: Probability: 0%
Explanation:
Hardy-Weinberg establishes that the genetic composition of a population remains in equilibrium as long as no natural selection or other factors act and no mutations occur. This means that the children of this couple will inherit the genes of the parents.
The woman is phenotypically normal with no family history of PKU, this mean that probably there are no affected (recessive) alleles in her family. In an autosomal recessive disorder, both copies of the gene in each cell are recessive. Therefore, her genotype will be AA with A being the dominant and normal allele. As for the Irish man, his sister does have PKU, which means her genotype is aa. So, she must have received a defective allele from each parent. Then the parents' genotypes are both Aa (heterozygous, only one allele affected as they are healthy). So, we know that the Irish man does not have the disease (he can't be aa), but he could be Aa (having inherited a normal allele from one parent, and an affected one from the other parent) or AA (having inherited both normal alleles from each parent).
Then we have two possible punnetts square to do: AA (the Irish woman) and AA (he Irish man); or AA (woman) and Aa (man).
In the attached figure both punnetts squares are shown. The first punnett square (AA x AA) shows that 100% of the offspring will be AA (this means, the phenotypic ratio is also 100% not affected and non-carrier). The second punnett square (AA x Aa) shows that 50% will be AA (healthy and non-carrier) and 50% will be Aa (heterozygous, healthy and carrier) But since it is an autosomal recessive disease, a single affected allele is not enough to develop the disease. So in neither case is there a chance of having a child with PKU.

Cómo explicarías tu que el soporte vegetal es más importante que los animales en un ecosistema?
Answer:
Las plantas son productores primarios, mientras que los animales son consumidores
Explanation:
La cadena alimenticia está conformada por niveles tróficos donde la energía fluye desde los niveles basales representados por la base de la pirámide, hasta los niveles superiores (pico de la pirámide). De este modo, los organismos representan diferentes eslabones de acuerdo a su posición en la cadena alimenticia. En el primer nivel se encuentran los productores primarios como lo son, por ejemplo, las plantas y algas de ambientes terrestres y acuáticos, respectivamente, siguiendo por los consumidores primarios (por ejemplo, especies hervívoras), continuando sucesivamente por los consumidores secundarios, terciarios y cuaternarios (especies carnívoras), los cuales se encuentran en posiciones cada vez más altas de la pirámide. No obstante, es importante indicar que existen ocasiones donde los consumidores superiores (ya sea secundarios, terciarios y cuaternarios) se alimentan de especies situadas por debajo de diferentes niveles no consecutivos e incluso también de especies pertenecientes al mismo nivel trófico, con lo cual encajando en más de una categoría y dificultando su clasificación en la cadena.
