Answer:

Eutrophication effect

Explanation:

The term eutrophication refers to the enrichment of surface water with nutrients. This process is related to human pollution activities.

Eutrophication is the biological process that generates in water by an oversupply of nutrients or organic matter. This matter, mainly compounded with nitrogen or phosphorous, favors the multiplication of phytoplankton (microscopic plants growing on the water surface) and other aquatic plants. This overgrowth leads to an enhance in primary productivity.

Little by little begin sedimentation, caused by the death of some vegetable organisms that sink in the bottom. These sediments rich in organic matter suffer decomposition in the presence of oxygen.

When oxygen disappears, anaerobic bacteria act and produce fermentation.

On the surface, plants and phytoplankton keep growing, creating a mantle that impedes the light to reach deeper areas. The overgrowth of phytoplankton on the water surface and the fermentation processes in the bottom originate toxic compounds that damage the animals. Animals die, creating more sediments in the bottom where there are anaerobic conditions. Decomposing processes and fermentation increases, producing a bad smell.

The result of eutrophication is the stratification of the water mass:

First superficial layer, the overgrowth of blue-green algae produce toxins and interrupt the pass of light to deeper areas. The surface then becomes warmer. The second layer might have oxygen available for the animals.In the third layer, there is no oxygen, so life is not possible for animals or plants.In the fourth layer, there are animals and plants remains in the process of sedimentation.At the bottom, there is organic matter and anaerobic bacteria that are in charge of decomposition and fermentation, also producing toxic gases and smell.

Form a hypothesis: How do you think photosynthesis is related to cellular respiration? ​

Answers

Answer:

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP while photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide to release oxygen cellular respiration requires oxygen that releases carbon dioxide it is the release oxygen that is used by US and most other organisms for cellular respiration. have a nice day!!!!

Answer:

It is. (It is a lot for a hypothesis)

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is backwards (C6 H12 O6 + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + Energy). Here, glucose and oxygen are the reactants. With photosynthesis, glucose and oxygen would be the products. Same thing with the products of cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide and water are the products of cellular respiration, while they are the reactants in photosynthesis.

Answer:

By crossing plants with purple flowers, dominant, with plants with white flowers the offspring will be 100% purple because all the offspring will receive at least one dominant allele.

Explanation:

The crossing of two plants of pure line, one dominant and one recessive, for a trait —the color of the flowers— will produce a hybrid offspring which will express the dominant trait in its phenotype.

Parental generation:

Plant with purple flowers PP Plant with white flowers pp

Cross: PP X pp

Punnett Square :

Alleles       P       P

p              Pp     Pp

p             Pp     Pp

Offspring: 100% Plants whose phenotype is purple flowers and Pp genotype.

According to this, the descendants will be 100% plants with purple flowers, hybrids, since all the offspring received at least one dominant allele.

Answer:

A. RNA

Explanation:

DNA has the chemical base of thymine, while RNA does not.

Instead, RNA has the base of uracil, to replace thymine.

Since the analogy relates thymine to DNA, uracil must be related to RNA.

So, A is the correct answer.

Thymine is to DNA as Uracil is to RNA.

People who have Tay-Sachs disease cannot metabolize some lipids effectively. Tay-Sachs is a recessive disorder. A student used a Punnet Square to determine the probability of offspring inheriting the disease. The results from a Punnet Square are 25% TT, 50% Tt, and 25% tt.

Which conclusion can be made regarding the phenotype of the parents based on these results?

The parents must be TT, Tt

The parents must be Tt, tt

The parents must be TT, tt

The parents must be Tt, Tt

Answers

Answer:

The parents must be Tt, Tt

Explanation:

Based on these results, we can conclude that each of the parents will have one dominant (T) and one recessive allele (t). We can prove this by drawing the Punnett square:

     T      t

T    TT   Tt

t     Tt     tt

We can see that the offspring will have the Tt genotype in two cases, the TT genotype in one case, and the tt genotype in one case, as well. Now we need to do some basic math. Two out of four is 50% (Tt - 50%), and one out of four is 25% (TT - 25%, tt - 25%).

This means that the parents must be Tt, Tt.

As the arrow points to the "rung" of the ladder, that means it is a nitrogenous base.

A student is observing a single-celled alga and knows that it undergoes photosynthesis and respiration. Which question could the student ask to find out how it can do both processes?

Answers

The options associated with the question is :

Are the inputs of photosynthesis the same as the outputs of respiration?

Are the inputs of photosynthesis the same as the inputs of respiration?

Is water needed for the processes of respiration and photosynthesis?

Is carbon dioxide needed for the process of photosynthesis?

Answer:

The correct answer is - Are the inputs of photosynthesis the same as the outputs of respiration?

Explanation:

To understand that it is able to perform both the process photosynthesis and cellular respiration by this single cell of alga it is required to understand the process of both processes and how they provided to the alga.

Photosynthesis is the process that converts water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen as the output or products. Glucose is further used in the cellular respiration with oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide. So it make balance of the inputs and outputs in the both reaction so it can be understand by asking if the inputs of photosynthesis the same as the outputs of respiration?

Photosynthesis and respiration both are shown by algae because they need light to make food.

Algae are a diverse group of predominantly photosynthetic organisms, including cyanobacteria, green algae, and other eukaryotes. They account for more than 50% of the photosynthesis that occurs on Earth. Photosynthetic efficiency is higher in algae than in higher plants. Algae use carbon dioxide for cellular respiration. It binds CO2 and reduces the amount in the atmosphere.

The questions which students can ask are :

Are the inputs to photosynthesis and the outputs to respiration the same?

Are the photosynthesis and respiration inputs the same thing?

Is it true that water is required for respiration and photosynthesis?

Is carbon dioxide required for photosynthesis?

what are algae?

A group of photosynthetic, aquatic, marine, true root stems leaves bearing organisms.

thus it concludes algae can perform both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

To know about algae refers to the link:

Si una planta homocigótica de tallo alto (AA) se cruza con una homocigótica de tallo enano (aa), sabiendo que el tallo alto es dominante sobre el tallo enano, ¿Cómo serán los genotipos y fenotipos de la F1?

Answers

Answer:

Genotipo: 4/4 o 100% de la progenie será Heterocigota para la característica altura del tallo, Aa.Fenotipo: 4/4 o 100% de la progenie expresará tallos altos.

Explanation:

Datos disponibles:

Característica: Altura del talloAlelo dominante, A, expresa tallo alto en homocigosis (AA) y en heterocigosis (Aa).Alelo recesivo, a, expresa tallo enano en homocigosis (aa).

Cruza: una planta homocigótica de tallo alto con una homocigótica de tallo enano (aa)

Parentales) AA      x      aa

Fenotipos) Tallo alto     Tallo enano

Gametos) A      A        a        a

Cuadro de Punnet)     A          A

                        a       Aa          Aa

                        a       Aa          Aa

F1) Genotipo: 4/4 o 100% de la progenie será Heterocigota para la característica altura del tallo, Aa.

     Fenotipo: 4/4 o 100% de la progenie expresará tallos altos.

Nota: Por conocimiento teórico, es posible que no sea necesario el uso del cuadro de Punnet para realizar esta cruza. Esto es porque sabiendo que uno de los parentales es homocigota dominante y el otro parental homocigota recesivo, con un solo gen dialélico involucrado en la cruza, indefectiblemente la progenie será heterocigota. Un parental solo puede ofrecer gametos dominantes para la característica mientras que el otro parental solo puede ofrecer gametos recesivos. Aún asi, el cuadro de Punnet siempre resulta útil para poder visualizar bien los cruzamientos, siempre que estos últmos involucren pocos genes.
