A large asteroid impact occurs, kicking up dust that blocks the Sun and prevents plants from photosynthesizing. What would most

likely happen as a result of the asteroid impact? More earthquakes would occur across the planet. Some plants would evolve to use dust as a source of food. Many plants would perform photosynthesis without sunlight. Many species would eventually die off because they lack a food source.

Answer:

Many species would eventually die off because they lack a food source.

Explanation:

<u>Photosynthesis can be defined simply as the biological process of using light to synthesize food (in the form of glucose). It is a process that takes place in plants and involves the synthesis of sugar using inorganic products such as water and carbon dioxide.</u>

6CO_2 + 6H_20 + (energy) → C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

The process consists of two stages namely;

  • Light reaction
  • Light independent reaction.

The products from the light reaction are utilized in the light-independent reaction.

<em>Hence, without light energy, the process of photosynthesis cannot proceed and plants will not be able to manufacture foods. Without foods, many plant species would die off. </em>

Answer:

C. Nernst equation

Explanation:

The Nernst Equation is used to find the equilibrium potential of an ion.

It tells you only what the equilibrium potential for an individual ion is, not what the summed effect of all ions is on the membrane potential.

The formula for Nernst Equation is:

        E_{ion} = \frac{RT}{FZ} In \frac{[ion]_{out} }{[ion]_{in} }      

where F is Faraday Constant, R = gas constant, 8.314 J/mol K

, T = temperature, in K, Z stoichiometric number of electrons in the reaction,   is the Reduction Potential in V.

Kindly note that, if we have a squid giant axon at rest with normal intracellular and extracellular ion concentrations.  If the membrane permeability to K+  ions is increased, the K+ equilibrium potential (Nernst potential) will stay the same.

Why does the mouthpiece of an aphid contains a high concentration of dissolved sugars after feeding
Korolek [52]
An aphid eats from grass which creates High levels of glucose from the process of photosynthesis therefore when the aphid eats the grass the glucose is transferred to the aphid and as a result has a higher concentration of dissolved sugars

White blood cells that phagocytize and digest other cells would be expected to
rosijanka [135]

The phagocytes are the cells that protect the body from pathogens. They engulf and devour the pathogens and foreign particles. This process is called the Phagocytosis.

After the phagocytosis process is over, the phagocytes are expected to participate in the antigen presentation. The antigen presentation is the process in which the phagocytic cells move some of the parts of the ingested pathogen to be presented to the other cells of the immune system so that anti bodies are created so that the immune cells become equipped to fight the same pathogen attack again
