Answer:

The speed of blood flow in the capillary bed is \frac{1}{n} times the speed of blood flow in the blood vessel

Explanation:

Let the cross-sectional area of blood vessel be "A"

The speed of flow of blood into the capillaries is "v"

Now , it is given that capillary bed is made up of w "n" numbers of blood vessels with cross section area "A" and and speed "V"

Now as per continuity equation of flow, the flow remains constant when the density is unchanged

Thus ,

Flow in single blood vessel is equal to flow in "n" capillaries of capillary bed

Therefore,

Av= n*A*V\\v= nV\\or \\V= \frac{v}{n}

Hence, the speed of blood flow in the capillary bed is \frac{1}{n} times the speed of blood flow in the blood vessel

In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of atp by the chemiosmotic mechanism occurs during _________.
NikAS [45]
In photosynthetic cells, synthesis of ATP by the chemi-osmotic mechanism occurs during photosynthesis and respiration. Plants can only achieve photosynthesis during the day and then respire during the night because photosynthesis requires the sun's energy to perform the necessary reaction to produce oxygen.

The diagram below represents levels of organization in living things. Which term would best represent X?
Nutka1998 [239]

The correct answer is C. Tissue

Explanation:

In the diagram, x is between organ and cell level. This implies this level of organization is smaller than an organ but no as small as one cell. In this context, the most suitable term to add to this level is a tissue because these are structures composed of specialized cells, which shows this level encloses cells. Also, a group of tissues forms an organ; this implies the organ is the level that follows the tissue. Examples of this include muscle tissue composed of muscle cells and that is part of organs including the heart.

brainscape: Restriction enzymes: A) act at the membrane to restrict the passage of certain molecules into the cell. B) are highl
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

C) are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases

B) degrade foreign DNA that enters a bacterium.

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes are the proteins that cut the DNA at a specific sequence.

<u>Restriction enzymes are also known as restriction endonuclease produced by bacteria that recognizes a specific sequence on DNA and split it by catalyzing the hydrolysis or addition of water molecule. </u>So, Restriction enzymes are sequence-specific DNA endonucleases.

The biological role of restriction enzymes is to restrict the entry of foreign DNA into the bacterium. <u>Restriction enzymes have the ability to restrict the number of bacteriophage strains that affect bacteria.</u>

Hence, the correct options are "C and B"

Transport of D- and L- glucose proceeds at the same rate down an electrochemical gradietn by which ofhte following processes?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

Active transport is the movement of molecules or substance from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration across a cell membrane against the concentration gradient.

Active transport requires cellular energy and are of two types:

primary active transport that uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and secondary active transport that uses an electrochemical gradient.

Active transport helps in the uptake of glucose in the intestines.

Cotransport or secondary active transport is the movement of molecules across a membrane it uses electrochemical potential difference that is created by pumping ions in or out of the cell.

Cotransport helps in the transport of glucose across the cell membrane.
