Buffer is an aqueous solution that resists changes in pH when acids or bases are added to it. A buffer solution is typically composed of a weak acid and its conjugate base. There are three major buffer systems that are responsible for regulating blood pH: the bicarbonate buffer system, the phosphate buffer system, and the plasma protein buffer system. Of the three buffer systems, the bicarbonate buffer system is arguably the most important as it is the only one that is coupled to the respiratory system

There is an algal bloom in a bay in a populated area. As the leading marine biologist in the area, what is the most important th
k0ka [10]

Answer:

evacuate all wildlife from the bay

Explanation:

Algal bloom is a term used to describe the excessive growth of algae species in a water body. This excessive growth or proliferation is as a result of the exposure to nutrient in form of pollutants, a process called Eutrophication.

However, the presence of an algal bloom indicates the pollution of that water body, which will result in the degradation of the pollutants by bacteria. As bacteria acts on the pollutants in the water body, they excessively use the dissolved oxygen of the water body, hence, drastically reducing the oxygen levels of the water. This possess a great threat to aerobic wildlife in the water, which could die as a result of suffocation or anorexia.

Hence, the most important thing to do in a case of noticing an algal bloom in a bay is to evacuate all wildlife from the bay in order to prevent mass death.

Muscle cells contain numerous __________ to serve their high demand for atp.
Harrizon [31]
Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, contain numerous amounts of mitochondria inside of their cytoplasm. Mitochondria are organelles that are popularly known as the powerhouse of the cell because they function to process different biochemicals (such as glucose, oxygen, etc) and produce essentially Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). Kreb's Cycle in particular talks about energy production, and the mitochondria is one of the main units where this cycle happens. You can think of ATP as the currency of the body in terms of energy. The more ATP one has, the more energy there is available for use by the different systems of the body. Muscles in particular have high demand for ATP.

A constant used in an equation for gravity is 0.0000000000667. What is theis represented as a number in proper scientific notati
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is - C) 667 x 10-13.

The constant that is used in the equation for gravity, or rather gravitational pull, is 0.0000000000667. This same number, in proper scientific notation goes in the shape of 667 x 10-13.

The reason for that is very simple. Any number multiplied with 10-13 will give the exact same number, but as the last part of 13 decimal number. The -13 part dictates the number of decimals. So in the case of 0.0000000000667, the last part 667 is the number that is multiplied, but because the multiplying is in minus, the number goes on the back of the number. Since it has three numbers in it, ten zeros are added in front of it, in order to get the 13 decimals.
