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.

Explain have a fats sugars and or starch contained in seeds or milk are useful for the plant sprouting from the seed or the baby
Kipish [7]
There is a lot of calories in fats that can be a good help and can be used for growth, fats are high energy molecules that help in growing organism. Fats produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP when metabolism.  The sugars and or starch is useful in the same method, they provide calories necessary for a seed or baby animal to grow. The sugars used in glycolysis and then the products of glycolysis used in  the citric acid cycle, and the starch can be cleaved into more manageable sugars.

Anna11 [10]
<span>Since alkylating agents work to prevent the cell from replicating its genetic material, the cell would most likely stop at the interphase checkpoint, which is the phase before mitosis (which consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). During interphase, the cell replicates its genetic material (DNA), but this would be prohibited by alkylating agents.</span>

Why is milk used as a first-aid remedy for someone who has swallowed a heavy-metal poison?
klio [65]
Human trials have indicated an inverse relationship between blood lead level and calcium intake. While milk isn’t an antidote to let’s say, lead poisoning, the dietary calcium inhibits the lead absorption. This sort of poisoning is incredibly dangerous to the systems of the human body, and the ingredients within the milk help to defend against it. The purpose of the milk is to dilute the ingested poison.

Which of the Caulerpa taxifolia’s traits make it so dangerous to local ecosystem
k0ka [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Caurepa taxifolia is an invasive species of algae and is listed in the IUCN list of 100 invasive species. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In is an algae usually found in the pacific ocean. It was earlier used in aquariums as  an <em>ornamental species of algae</em>. The dangerously invasive nature overshadows its attractive appearance.

It is inedible and  increases in numbers at a surprisingly <em>accelerated rate.</em>  The growth of other plants is difficult in areas dominated by the Caurepa taxifolia. The introduction of this <em>algae was in the Meditteranian sea. </em>

. Pepper colors range from bright red, orange, and yellow shades, to dark green and brown shades. Coloration in bell peppers is
sattari [20]

Answer:

All crosses and proportions, genotypes and phenotypes are attached.

Explanation:

a. Within living organisms, staining is a characteristic governed by a polygenic inheritance, which means that there is more than one gene involved in the staining process. as you already know, each gene has two alleles, if a trait is controlled by 2 genes, it means that we will have 4 alleles at the crosses.

From the description between dominance and recessivity between the alleles that control the colors of the pepper, shown in the question above, we can see that for the crossing between a red pepper and a green pepper, being able to generate a completely orange offspring, it would be necessary that the genotype of the parent peppers was: Red: RGRG, green: rgrg.

This would generate an orange-colored RrGg offspring, as you can see at the F1 crossing.

b. When individuals of F1 offspring are crossed, the combination of alleles and the determination of genotypes and phenotypes becomes much more complex, because instead of 4 alleles, we will have the combination of 16 alleles among themselves. Once again we will need to rely on the description of dominance and recessivity shown in the question above, so that from the crossing between the alleles of each gene, we can reach a conclusion, as you can see in the F2 crossing.
