The nail breathes oxygen to live. The nail breathes the oxygen dissolved in the water.


Given that the aquarium is a small bioma there is not enoguh source of oxygen to replace the oxygen consumed by the snail, except for the oxygen produced by the aquatinc plants inside the aquarium.


Plants produce oxygen through the process named photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires light.


Given that the aquarium is kept dark, the aquatic plants cannot carry out the process of photosyntthesis and so there will not be generation new oxygen and the snails will die after they do not have oxygen to breath.

ollegr [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?

A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

The answer is A

Explanation:

In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.

Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).

On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.

Skin color in a certain species of fish is inherited by a single gene with four different alleles. How many different types of g
k0ka [10]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

According to Mendel's law of purity of gametes, each gamete contains single allele for a gene. The alleles of a gene segregate during gamete formation and each gamete has one allele for a gene irrespective of the total number of alleles for a gene.  

If the gene for skin color in a fish species has four alleles, an individuals fish would have only two alleles which in turn would segregate during gamete formation.

Since there are four different alleles of the gene (let's assume a,b,c, and d), total possible gametes produced by this organism will be = 4. A gamete can have one of the total 4 alleles making total 4 types of the gametes each with a or b or c or d allele.

Masses of gray matter within the central nervous system are
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is: neuronal cell bodies, neuropil, and glial cells.

Explanation:

Nervous tissue can easily be classified in grey and white matter. Both of these matters are located in the Central Nervous System.

These specific names are given by the color these structures have. White matter consists mostly of axons, and is white because the axons are surrounded by myelin, which is a structure made of fat.

<u>Grey matter </u><u>is composed of the bodies of neuronal cells, neuropil and glial cells. The glial cells found in the grey matter are astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.</u>
