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

Saturated fats have long straight tails of fatty acids, while unsaturated fats from vegetables have kinks in their tails due to
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Saturated fats/ solid fats

Explanation:

Vegetable oils amongst other unsaturated oils are liquids at room temperature while saturated oils are solids or spreadable at room temperature.

Industrially, vegetable oils are hydrogenated; hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated compound to make it saturated. This then makes these hydrogenated vegetable oil, saturated which makes them solids as earlier stated, they are also called cis - fatty acids.

Trans - fatty acids as well are also unsaturated oils which are hydrogenated industrially to give saturated fatty acids which are called artificial tran-fats. They are found in most commonly found in baked and fried goods.

In Zambia, which lions are likely to have migrated from a different population?
Margaret [11]
Zambian lions are split into two subpopulations, with one in the Greater Kafue Ecosystem in the west and the other in the Luangwa Valley Ecosystem in the east. Between these two geographically different regions lies Lusaka, Zambia's largest city, which is surrounded by farmland. males travel long distances to find new prides, while females remain in or close to the pride they were born in. So, for the lion, it's primarily males that are responsible for the movement of genes between prides. This male-mediated gene flow explains the lack of gene flow seen in mitochondrial genes compared to that of nuclear genes—female lions aren't making the journey, but they do mate with new males who come from far away.

Which means of particle transport is shown in Figure 7–4 above?
sattari [20]
The correct option is D.
When it comes to movement of particles in an out of cells, there are two basic types of transportation, these are passive and active transportation. The passive transportation of particles does not require  the use of energy while the active transport system requires the use of energy in the form of ATP. From the diagram given in the question, it can be seen that energy is involved in the process. Energy is mainly needed to move the particles against the concentration gradient since the inside of the cell is highly concentrated while the outside has low concentration. <span />

Explain two ways in which xylem is modified to carry out its function:
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Explanation:The cells that make up the xylem are adapted to their function: They lose their end walls so the xylem forms a continuous, hollow tube. They become strengthened by a substance called lignin . Lignin gives strength and support to the plant.
