Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its <em>ability to survive in the desert </em>or<em> periods of drought.</em> Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

  • One of these threats is the <em>"over-collection of cacti." </em>Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
  • Another threat is the number of pests, such as <u>snails</u> and<u> slugs</u>, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for<em> mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.</em>
  • People often misunderstand the <u>cactus' water level need</u>s. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.

butalik [34]

Answer:

The following is the formula to determine the size from minor spaces and ocular spaces on the stage micrometer:  

Size = Number of minor spaces * 10 micrometer / Number of ocular spaces

A = Number of minor spaces is 2 and the number of ocular space is 1,

Size = 2 * 10 / 1 = 20 micro micrometer. Thus, the size of a bacterium is 20 micrometers.  

B = Thus, it can be said that the size of the bacterium is almost 4 times bigger in comparison to a human red blood cell, which is 6 micrometers in diameter.

Explain why a rock pocket mouse color influence its overall fitness. Remember that "fitness" is defined by an organisms ability
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The rock pocket mice rely on their fur color for camouflage. So, on the tan sand more light colored mice will survive because they blend in and on the dark lava rock more dark colored mice will survive and the allele for dark fur will be passed on to their offspring

Which process could occur in maple trees to decrease the chromosome number in pollen cells from 52 down to 26?
dlinn [17]

Meiosis

Explanation:

The process in maple trees that decreases the chromosome number in the pollen cells from 52 to 26 is called meiosis.

Meiosis is an important cell division process in which diploid cells are turned into their haploid number.

  • In meiosis the cells divides into half and produces four daughter cells from the diploid 2n cells.
  • The cell divides twice here. It is common in all sexually reproducing cells.
  • It also occurs in all single celled organisms that reproduces sexually.

Both euglena and Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic unicellular organisms found in pond water. The feature that distinguishes eugl
Fed [463]

The correct answer is option C, that is, the presence of the nuclear membrane.  

Cyanobacteria is a phylum of bacteria that attain their energy via the process of photosynthesis, and are the only photosynthetic prokaryotes possessing the tendency to generate oxygen. As a prokaryote, they are devoid of the nuclear membrane.  

Euglena refers to a single cell flagellate eukaryote. It comes under the class Euglenoidea. The species of Euglena are witnessed in salt water and in freshwater. Being a eukaryote, they possess nuclear membrane.

Select all statements that correctly describe hemoglobin and myoglobin structure. a.The heme prosthetic group is entirely buried
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

B, G , E, F.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is known to be a tetrameric hemeprotein, which is found in the erythrocytes where it binds with oxygen,and then the bound oxygen is transported to parts of the body.

Myoglobin is a monomeric protein that is found in the muscle tissue. Its function is that, it serves as intracellular storage site for oxygen.

It should be understood that, both hemoglobin and myoglobin are hemeproteins with physiological importance of having the ability of binding molecular oxygen.

In this case, it is also known that, the two, that is hemoglobin and myoglobin have a prosthetic group called heme, which is described or known to be a tightly bond, specifically a non-polypeptide unit which is required for biological function of some protein.
