Describe how increasing salinity affects the amount of fluid ejected each time a contractile vacuole contracts. Calculate the wa

ter potential ( Ψ ) of an animal cell without contractile vacuoles if water enters the cell and creates a solute potential ( ΨS ) of −2 . Assume that the pressure potential ( ΨP ) in the cell is 0.

Answer:

Water potential = -2

Explanation:

As we know,

Water potential is equal to the sum of pressure potential and solute potential

Ψ = ΨS + ΨP

Where Ψ is the water potential

ΨS is the solute potential

ΨP is the pressure potential

Given -

Solute potential ( ΨS ) = -2

Pressure potential ( ΨP ) = 0

Substituting the given values, we get -

Ψ = - 2 + 0

Ψ = - 2

aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-D

Explanation:

The evolution of vascular tissues in plants from non-vascular plants was an adaptive feature to survive in the terrestrial environment.  The group of plants in which vascular tissues evolved and developed is the Pteridophytes which contained stellar organization of the vascular bundles.

The pteridophytes exhibited xylem and phloem which allows the rapid uptake of the water and nutrients from the soil which allowed the growth of the plant and since plants got enough water and nutrients from the soil, they adapted to grow tall so that they can maximize the output of photosynthesis in bright sunshine.

Thus, option-D is the correct answer.

Look at the data related to honey bee population losses between 2006 and 2013 (Figure 1). Expand on the data. How would you revi
olga_2 [115]

In order to improve the graph and make it more detailed in order to get a better perception why the honey bee populations are decreasing, there's few things that can be added.

- Number of bee keepers over the period

The number of the honey bee colonies is directly connected as to how many bee keepers there are. If there's a trend of a decline in the bee keepers, than there will be a trend in the decline of the honey bees.

- Area of trees suitable for the honey bees

The trees are crucial for the honey bees to be able to produce honey, thus it is very important that they have a certain area of trees on which they can feed upon. If there's a decline in the number of trees for the bees, than the bees will be dying from starvation.

- Pollution

The honey bees are animals that are very sensitive to changes in the environment, especially when it comes to pollution. If the levels of pollution are increasing in areas where there's honey bees, it will certainly affect their numbers in a negative manner.

Why doesn't asexual reproduction result in variation among offspring and parents?
nalin [4]

There is no mating or mixing of genetics in asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction results in a clone of the parent; the offspring has identical DNA as the parent. There is usually no variation from generation to generation in a species population that relies on asexual reproduction.

One way for an asexually reproducing species to get some diversity is through mutations at the DNA level. If there is a mistake in mitosis or the copying of the DNA, then that mistake will be passed down to the offspring, thereby possibly changing its traits. Some mutations do not change the phenotype, however, so not all mutations in asexual reproduction result in variations in the offspring.​

timama [110]
<span>A sustainable system refers to producing less or probably non-existent debris that are caused by the production of a particular material (i.e. produce, energy). This is a sustainable form of production of coupling algae growth and fish farming because you no longer need the supply of fish feed from other sources that are made artificially but rather, you are using the available algae growth that you are culturing. Farm fishing alone is non-renewable because this produces much waste that can directly harm the environment.<span>
