Researchers propose a model to explain variation in phytoplankton cell sizes in a marine environment. They base their model on t

he idea that smaller cells absorb nutrients more efficiently. The researchers predict that the mean diameter of phytoplankton cells will change by 50 micrometers for every 5-kilometer increase in distance from the shore because of a gradual decrease in nutrient availability. To test their model, the researchers determine that the phytoplankton cells found closest to shore have a mean diameter of 900 micrometers. Based on the model, what will be the mean diameter of the phytoplankton cells that are found 25 kilometers from shore?

anygoal [31]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor <em>pressure on the magma.</em> The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the <em>rock surrounding the magma. </em>

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to  expand and<em> forms small gas bubbles</em>.

The <em>density of these gas bubbles</em> called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater <em>amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions. </em>

Which description properly describes the plant structures involved in photosynthesis? Stomata take in water, sunlight, and carbo
erma4kov [3.2K]
The correct answer is that "xylem transports water, stomata take in carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll absorbs sunlight." The xylem is a vascular structure in plants that transport water, the phloem is another vascular structure in plants that transport nutrients. The stomata (singular; stoma) is the one responsible for the plants' gas exchange (takes in carbon dioxide, releases oxygen). The chlorophyll is what makes the green pigment of the leaves and mostly because of the presence of chloroplasts, the organelle in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis.
