A student is considering adding Egeria densa, an aquatic plant, to her freshwater tank. She is concerned about the effects of pH

levels on her fish, because increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations result in a decrease in pH. She decides to test the effects of Egeria on water pH levels. She removes her fish from the tank and then adds the water plant. Construct an argument to explain her observations of how the plant affected the pH levels in her tank during the day and at night over a 24-hour period

Egeria densa is an aquatic plant which has developed different means of carrying out photosynthesis under conditions of low carbon dioxide. During the process, the plant generate low pH at the leaf surface during high light intensity and this acidification shift the process equilibrium towards carbon dioxide which will then diffuse into the cell through passive diffusion.
Thus, if the student place the plant inside her fresh water tank, the plant will increase the carbon dioxide content of the water, which will lead to an increase in pH and the increase in pH will negatively affect the fish.

Nerve fibers from the olfactory bulb project directly to ________. nerve fibers from the olfactory bulb project directly to ____
ohaa [14]

The olfactory cortex (nucus) of the temporal lobe is where the nerve fibers of the olfactory bulb projects directly. This cortex is where you get the smell sensation before determining what the smell actually is. The olfactory cortex is located on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe, particularly in the uncus or the piriform lobe. It is also called the Rhinoencephalon or the nose brain.

Which of these extracellular signal molecules could diffuse through a plasma membrane and bind to an intracellular receptor?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Estrogen.

Explanation:

Plasma membrane is made of lipids and proteins. The lipids are arranged in bilayers and proteins are embedded or may span the lipid bilayer. The carbohydrates are attached on the surface of the membrane.

The molecules that are lipophillic in nature can easily diffuse through the plasma membrane. Among the molecules listed in the question, estrogen is highly lipophillic in nature and can easily cross the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

How has the development of a pine and then a hardwood forest affected populations of shrubs?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Yes, shrubs are affected.

Explanation:

The development of a pine and then a hardwood forest affected populations of shrubs because pine and hardwood trees are higher in length than shrubs so the shrubs did not gain sunlight and also all the nutrients present in the soil is extracted by the pine and hardwood trees. The shrubs present below the pine and hardwood trees slowly removes from that environment due to unavailability of sunlight and nutrients.
