While cleaning a saltwater aquarium, students placed a family of fiddler crabs from the saltwater aquarium into a container of d

istilled water. What effect will this have on the crabs?

Since crab are aquatic animals and thus when they are placed in freshwater, they do not get sufficient salt concentration to make themselves survive. The cells of the crab body (which was hyper tonic in salt water) will now become hypo tonic. Thus the osmo-regulation process will lower down thereby reducing the osmotic pressure as compared to the fluid outside. Also the distilled water lacks basic nutrients required for the crab and its family to survive.

The crabs are salt water organisms, so they'll have a higher concentration gradient than the distilled water. In other words, they're hypertonic to the distilled water. This will cause them to take on water and expand; their cells bursting.

Mrac [35]

Answer:

Because the repetition of the experiment yields different results when they are realized by distinct groups of students .

Explanation:

The students needs to repeat the experiment and increase the value of n (sample size) in order to obtain statistically significant results and thus confirm the working hypothesis.

Classify the stages of succession of a field that is becoming overgrown with shrubs after a few years of disuse
klio [65]

Answer: The field is experiencing <em><u>Secondary succession.</u></em>

Explanation:

Ecological communities change slowly over time. While <em>primary succession</em> is initiated by pioneer species in areas that haven't previously been colonized; secondary succession always follows other communities. <em>Secondary succession</em> follows major disruptions in communities like fires, storms, flooding and even human disturbance.

The field becoming overgrown is typical of secondary succession. After years of disuse, the field is being occupied by species more <em>capable</em> of thriving in changed conditions. The community may be on its way to becoming a stable climax community if no further disruptions occur.

In the electron transport system
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. NADH and FADH2 both donate electrons at the same location.

Explanation:

In the respiratory chain, four large protein complexes inserted into the mitochondrial inner membrane transport NADH and FADH₂ electrons (formed in glycolysis and the Krebs cycle) to oxygen gas, reducing them to NAD⁺ and FAD, respectively.

These electrons have great affinity for oxygen gas and, when combined with it, reduce it to water molecules at the end of the reaction.

Oxygen gas effectively participates in cellular respiration at this stage, so its absence would imply interruption of the process.

NADH and FADH₂ electrons, when attracted to oxygen, travel a path through protein complexes, releasing energy in this process.

The energy released by the NADH and FADH₂ electrons in the respiratory chain in theory yields <u>34</u> <u>ATP</u>, however, under normal conditions an average of 26 ATP molecules is formed.

If we consider that these 26 molecules are added to the two ATP formed in glycolysis and two ATP formed in the Krebs cycle, it can be said that cellular respiration reaches a maximum yield of 30 ATP per glucose molecule, although theoretically this number was 38 ATP per glucose molecule.

Which of the following taxonomic categories contains all the others listed here?
ale4655 [162]

The correct answer is class.

Taxonomic category (rank) is the level of a group of organisms in a taxonomic hierarchy. The major ranks are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. Higher rank has more general characteristics of organisms. The lowest rank-species contains most specific descriptions of life forms in it.

Answer:

Even though matter can be found all over the Universe, you will only find it in a few forms  Scientists will probably discover more states of matter as we continue to  It's a fun state of matter when you remove almost all energy from a system.
