Explanation:

Elements such as The lungs exchange gas to maintain homeostasis. In the alveoli of the lungs, oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. This exchange occurs between the lungs and blood vessels (capillaries). The transport of oxygen to the blood does not require energy. The membranes of the alveoli are thin and moist and allow gasses to dissolve and be transported to and from the blood. When we breathe, a high concentration of oxygen enters the lungs and moves to the blood. Based on this scenario, is the transport of oxygen a result of osmosis, diffusion, or active transport?

Answers

Answer:

oxygen are among the few simple molecules that can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. And Diffusion is one principle method of movement of substances within cells, as well as the method for essential small molecules to cross the cell membrane. The oxygen molecules move, by diffusion, out of the capillaries and into the body cells. While oxygen moves from the capillaries and into body cells, carbon dioxide moves from the cells into the capillaries.

Explanation:

Answer:

This is Diffusion........... :)

In 1989, a tanker carrying oil struck a reef and spilled 11 million gallons of oil in an
Alaskan bay. The oil not only spilled into the harbor, but also washed up on the
shoreline. The spill killed millions of fish, birds that lived on the shore, sea otters,
porpoises, seal lions and many whales. Every form of life in the area was affected.
Scientists have carefully studied the area and its species since the initial spill to
determine both short-term and long-term effects.
Which of the following was affected the least by this catastrophic event? A: Plants along the shoreline B: Fishermen in the area C: Migratory sea birds D: Crustaceans that lived on the bottom of the bay

Answers

Answer:

The answer is C: Migratory sea birds.

Explanation:

Sea birds that are migrating would not only just fly above the spill and nestle on the trees, but they could eat crabs and other animals that scurry around on the shore as a food source due to the death of their primary source of food, fish.

Offspring of certain fruit flies may have yellow or ebony bodies and normal wings or short wings. Genetic theory predicts that these traits will appear in the ratio 9:3:3:1 (9 yellow, normal: 3 yellow, short: 3 ebony, normal: 1 ebony, short). A researcher checks 100 randomly selected fruit flies and finds the distribution of the traits to be 59, 20, 11, and 10, respectively. Are the results this researcher observed consistent with the theoretical distribution predicted by the genetic model

Answers

Answer:

Yes, the observed results are consistent with the theoretical distribution predicted by the genetic model. The population is in equilibrium.

Explanation:

Available data:

Offspring of fruit flies may have yellow or ebony bodies and normal wings or short wings.Expected phenotypic ratio 9:3:3:19 yellow, normal: 3 yellow, short: 3 ebony, normal: 1 ebony, shortSample size , N = 100Phenotypic distribution 59:20:11:10

To know if these results are consistent with the expected ones, we need to develop a chi-square analysis. To do it we need the following information

Chi square= ∑ ((Obs-Exp)²/Exp)

- ∑ is the sum of the terms

- Obs are the Observed individuals

- Exp are the Expected individuals

Freedom degrees = K – 1

- K =genotypes number = 4  

Significance level, 5% = 0.05 Table value = Critical value  

First, define the hypothesis:

Hypothesis: The allele of this population will assort independently. The population is in equilibrium

H₀= Individuals will be equally distributed.  

H₁ = Individuals will not be equally distributed.  

Second, we need to get the expected number of individuals with each phenotype. To do it, we will use the expected phenotypic ratio and the total number of individuals in the sample. We can just perform a three simple rule, as follows:

  16 ------------------------------------ 100 individuals in the sample ------- 100%

  9 yellow, normal ---------------- X = 56.25 individuals -------------------56.25%

  3 yellow, short ------------------- X = 18.75 individuals --------------------18.75%

  3 ebony, normal -----------------X = 18.75 individuals ---------------------18.75%

  1 ebony, short ---------------------X = 6.25 individuals ----------------------6.25%

Now that we know the expected numbers of individuals with each genotype, we can compare them with the observed ones.

                  yellow, normal      yellow, short     ebony, normal    ebony, short

Expected            56.25                    18.75                   18.75                    6.25

Observed            59                           20                      11                          10

The chi-square value = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp.

So now we need to calculate (Obs-Exp)²/Exp

yellow, normal

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp = (59-56.25)²/56.25 = 0.134

yellow, short

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp = (20 - 18.75)²/18.75 = 0.083

ebony, normal

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp = (11 - 18.75 )²/18.75 = 3.203

ebony, short

(Obs-Exp)²/Exp = (10 - 6.25)²/6.25 = 2.25

X² = Σ(Obs-Exp)²/Exp =  0.134 + 0.083 + 3.203 + 2.25 = 5.67

X² = 5.67Significance level = 0.05Degrees of freedom = genotypes number - one = 4 - 1 = 3Critical value or table value = 9.348

P₀.₀₅ > X2

9.348 > 5.67

There is not enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The genotypes might be in equilibrium, and there might be an independent assortment.

Some male peakcocks used to have bright and large tails while others had dull, smaller tails. Female peacocks will only mate with the ones that have the brightest and largest tails. Explain how this would impact the offspring of male peacocks over time.

Answers

Answer:

Over time, most males will have bright and large tails. Females only mate with males carrying these traits, and so natural selection will favor them.

Explanation:

Bright and large tails are traits that reflect the genetic quality of males. So individuals with the most vibrant color and length express better capabilities of finding food, competing for resources, competing for males, among others, are the best option to mate and to ensure successful offspring.

The brightest and largest tails are, the better chances males have to mate and pass their genes to the following generations. So the organism spends energy and resources to produce more vibrant colors and longer feathers to enhance mating chances.

Females must ensure their reproductive success, so sexual selection is the pressure modeling males in this species. Females will only choose individuals with the better genetic charge to mate -individuals with brightest and largest tails-, so their progeny can have better genes and higher survival probabilities.

Males with the brightest and largest tails will mate and reproduce. They will pass their genes to their progeny. Male offspring will also have bright and large tails because they inherit these conditions from their parental. These male offspring will also pass their genes to the progeny, and so on. The frequency of the alleles that express these traits will increase in the population. Natural selection is favoring these alleles. So over time, there will be much more individuals with bright and large tails than individuals with dull and small tails.

Answers

Answer:

To find out the impact of environment on the physical structure of lizard and natural selection.

Explanation:

Ecologists conduct an investigation on the survival of a species of lizards in order to study the impact of environment on the physical body of lizard and natural selection. The ecologists find out that environment has direct impact on the body structure of lizard. Those lizards that spend more time on the ground, have longer legs in order to run fast, while on the other hand, species that lives in the trees usually have shorter legs in order to easily climb on the trees so these body structure helps them in survival and movement.

A carbon footprint is a measure of the amount of carbon human activities, like using energy, release into the atmosphere. Which activity would help decrease the greatest carbon-releasing activity in US homes? limiting time in hot showers wearing layers of clothing turning off lights when leaving a room unplugging electronics when not in use

Answers

Answer: unplugging electronics when not in use

Explanation:

Carbon footprint is the measure of the amount of carbon liberated into the atmosphere due to human oriented activities like burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, liberation of toxic gases including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by the factors and automobile vehicles. To stop the carbon releasing activity in US homes one must unplug the electronic not in use because electronics consume a lot of electrical energy every day this electrical energy comes from thermal power plants which typically use coal to harness energy the combustion of the coal liberates carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide in the environment so creating pollution and increases the carbon footprint. Little will be the usage of electricity little will be the burning of coal and it will decrease the carbon footprint.
