Answer:

The two types of lipoproteins are low density lipoprotein and high density lipoproteins

Explanation: As applying to low density lipoproteins (LDL), these are sometimes called the bad cholesterol because a high LDL level leads to a build up of cholesterol in the arteries. This condition narrows the arteries and increases the risk of heart attack, Strom and peripheral artery diseases.

High Density Lipoproteins (HDL), also known as the good cholesterol acts as a scavenger carrying LDL away from the arteries and back to the liver where the LDL is break down and passed from the body.

Which plant cell organelle helps maintain the shape of the cell by helping to maintain turgor pressure? A) cell membrane B) cell
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The correct answer is- C) vacuole.

Large central Vacuole is a specialized fluid filled organelle, present only in plant cell. It is primarily involved in providing support and shape to the plant cell by maintaining the turgor pressure ( a hydrostatic force that is produced due to the cell contents against the inner side of the cell wall). The central vacuole stores water ( that flows through osmosis) and maintains turgor pressure in a plant cell.

Turgor pressure provides mechanical support and helps in the growth and development of plant.

On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united
makkiz [27]

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

Most of what we know about the lac operon of E. coli has come from genetic analysis of various mutants. In the following list ar
vivado [14]

Answer:

Strain               Presence of Lactose     Absence of Lactose

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (-)

For the wild type case, the lacZ gene product will be expressed in the presence of lactose only.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

Because of the super repressor, transcription will not take place regardless of the presence of lactose.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The constitutive operator will allow for transcription to occur, whether or not lactose is present.

I^{-} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The repressor is non-functional, transcription will occur with or without presence of lactose.

I^{S} P^{+}O^{C} Z^{+}                      (+)                                    (+)

The super repressor will not be able to stop transcription as it cannot bind to the constitutive operator.

I^{+} P^{-}O^{+} Z^{+}                      (-)                                    (-)

The promoter is non-functional, transcription will not start and hence, not gene product formed.

I^{+} P^{+}O^{+} Z^{+}                   (-)     (with glucose present)    (-)      

E. coli will not metabolize lactose in the present of glucose, since glucose is the preferred source of nutrition.

Hope that answers the question, have a great day!

The most important mineralocorticoid regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is ________.the most import
Genrish500 [490]
The most important mineralocorticoid regulator of electrolyte concentrations in extracellular fluids is Aldosterone.
Aldosterone hormone is produced by the adrenal gland, it acts in the functional unit of the kidneys to aid in the conservation of sodium, secretion of potassium, water retention and to stabilize blood pressure. The hormone causes water to be absorbed along with sodium ions which increases the blood volume and therefore blood pressure. It indirectly regulates blood levels of electrolytes and helps to maintain the blood pH.
