Answer:
a)Difference in physical state observed:
The difference between the two carrots is that the carrot in the plain water appears bigger or slightly swollen while the carrot in the salt water appears smaller and has shrank in length and slightly in width.
b)Process involved that has caused the changes:
The process that has taken place is osmosis.
c)Why has the process occured:
The process occurs due to the semi-permeable membrane of the cells of carrots that allow water either in or out of the cells.
In the plain water, the process that takes place is endosmosis where the cells of the carrot draw in water and hence the carrot increases in mass. The carrot in the salt water, on the other hand, experiences exosmosis, where water is drawn from the carrot's cells and the carrot becomes dehydrated and shrinks in length and width.
d) Beaker 1 : Water
Beaker 2 : Sugar Solution
e) example of endosmosis is absorption of capillary water from the soil by the root.
another example of endosmosis is is entrance of water in the xylem vessel from the soil by the root.
Answer:
When the level of calcium ions declines the sarcoplasm stops the sliding.
Explanation:
Sarcoplasm can be described as the cytoplasm for the cells of muscles. It contains important structures such as the myofibrils.
The following steps would occur when the level of calcium ions would decline:
The sarcoplasm would stop the sliding of the thin filaments.
The actin filaments would be migrated in the M line
This would lead the bands in the I region to shorten.
The Z region would compress.
The H region would diminish.
The factor that CITES fail to consider when determining which species to cover is the Ecosystem sustainability.
A sustainable ecosystem is a biological environment with a series of habitats that is able to thrive and also support itself without outside influence. it is the capacity of the biosphere to meet the needs of the present generation, without hindering future generations from being able to meet their needs.
Answer:
A. Salamanders
Explanation:
Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.
Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.
Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.
