Nutrients dissolved in water are carried to upper parts of plants by tiny tubes partlybecause of the capillary effect. determine

how high the water solution will rise in atree in a 0.0026-mm-diameter tube as a result of the capillary effect. treat the solutionas water at 20◦c with a contact angle of 15◦c.

The formula for the capillary rise is

h = 2λcosθ/ρgR
where
λ = 0.0728 N/m (surface tension of water)
θ = 15°
ρ = 1000 kg/m³ (density of water)
g = 9.81 m/s²
R = (0.0026 mm/2)(1m/1000 mm) = 1.3×10⁻⁶ m

h = 2(0.0728 N/m)cos15°/(1000 kg/m³)(9.81 m/s²)(1.3×10⁻⁶ m)
<em>h = 11.03 m</em>

The graph shows the changing levels of hormones during menstruation and ovulation. What is the general trend for hormones after
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Hormone levels generally decrease.

Explanation:

<em>The graph showed that hormone levels after ovulation generally decrease.</em>

The menstrual cycle of women generally have 3 phases which include:

  1. <em>The follicular phase</em>
  2. <em>The ovulatory phase</em>
  3. <em>The luteal phase</em>

The follicular phase is characterized by low levels of oestrogen and progesterone and a slightly high level of follicle stimulating hormone which ensures that follicles within the ovary develop.

The ovulatory phase is characterized by a surge in the luitenizing hormone (which stimulates the release of eggs) and follicle stimulating hormone with a decrease in the level of oestrogen and a gradual increase in the level of progesterone.

The luteal phase is characterized by a general decrease in the levels of luitenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone while oestrogen level may remain high.

By the early 1980s, the population of Florida panthers had dwindled to fewer than 30. Furthermore, within this population was a
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The population suffered a genetic bottleneck, which decreased genetic variation and thereby randomly increasing the frequency of harmful alleles

Explanation:

A population bottleneck, also known as genetic bottleneck, can be defined as a drastic reduction in the size of a population, which may be caused by anthropic activity and/or environmental phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, famines, fires, droughts, etc). A genetic bottleneck leads to a reduction in genetic variability within a population. Moreover, the genetic drifit caused by a genetic bottleneck can also increase the frequency of harmful alleles/mutations (it is due to the random sampling of individuals), thereby increasing the frequency of deleterious alleles/mutations in the population.

<span>T he type of selection that favored progressively larger brain size in human evolution is </span>directional selection. Directional selection is a type of natural selection (besides stabilizing selection, disruptive selection, kin selection,..)<span> in which an extreme phenotype is favored over other phenotypes. Because progressively larger brain size is an extreme phenotype this is a directional selection.</span>
