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

Stomach cells are moderately well adapted to the acidity and protein-digesting activities in the stomach by having: a) Stomach c
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-B

Explanation:

The environment of the stomach is acidic in nature maintaining value less than seven as it kills the microbes and helps activate the pepsin to digest the proteins.

The acidic nature of the gastric juice does not affect the stomach as the mucosa layer of the stomach secretes mucous and the if the cells get affected then the cells are repaired by the process of mitosis taking in the epithelial cells.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

a laptop power changer has an output of 5.00 V ang has a resistance of 800 ohms. what is the current output of the charger?​
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 6.25 mAh.

Explanation:

According to the Ohms law of power, the current of a source can be found with the help of the formula

I = V ÷ R

where, I (amps) = V (volts) ÷ R (Ω)

By placing the value given:

I = 5.00/800

I = 6.25 mAh

The current output of the charger would be 6.25 mAh

Black fur (B) is dominant to white fur (b) in guinea pigs. An F1 cross was conducted and resulted in 100% heterozygous guinea pi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

D. 1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for fur color in guinea pig. Black fur (B) is dominant over white fur (b). This means that, as stated in the question, if a black fur parent (BB) is crossed with a white fur parent (bb), a 100% heterozygous offspring (Bb) with black fur will result.

If two heterozygous guinea pigs are crossed i.e. Bb × Bb, the following gametes will be produced by each heterozygous parent:

Bb = B and b

Using these gametes in a punnet square (see attached image), offsprings with the following genotypic ratio will be produced:

1 BB : 2 Bb : 1 bb

BB and Bb = black fur guinea pigs

bb = white fur guinea pigs

seraphim [82]

Answer:  herbivore, eukaryote, primary consumer

Explanation:

The red squirrel can be described by the following features.

1. Herbivore: A herbivore is an animal which is dependent upon the plant and their products for it's food requirement. Here, the red squirrel is the herbivore because it is dependent upon the spruce tree seeds for their food requirement.

2. Eukaryote: A eukaryotic organism is the one which has well define nucleus and encloses the genetic material in the nucleus. The red squirrel is a complex eukaryotic organism.

3. Primary consumer: In a food chain a primary consumer is an organism which is dependent upon plants and their food products for energy and food needs. The red squirrel is the primary consumer this is because of the fact that it consumes on the seeds of the spruce trees.
