Answer:

b. <em>Draparnaldia plumosa</em> zygotes contain 26 chromosomes; meiosis should occur after fertilization.

Explanation:

<em>Draparnaldia plumosa </em>is a freshwater green algae. The thallus of this species is haploid. Each cell of the thallus has 13 chromosomes in its nucleus. During sexual reproduction thallus forms gametes through mitosis. After fertilization between isogametes, a diploid zygote is formed having 26 chromosomes. Zygote undergoes meiosis to form haploid thallus.

Mariyam, a marine biologist, measures the length of a great white shark at 4.5 m long and its teeth at an average of 50 mm long.
Oksana_A [137]
Metres are exactly 100 cm in length, the easiest way to go from metres to centimetres is to simply add the extra 1 or 2 zeros, so 4.5 metres would be 450 centimetres.

As for the millimetres, 1mm is equal to 0.1cm, once again, just move the decimal forward by one numeral, and you'll have the converted value, making 50mm = 5.0cm.

Your shark would be 450cm long and have teeth with an average length of 5cm.

How are agglutinins like security guards?
wel
Agglutinins are a type of antibody. Antibody are proteins that specialize in recognizing foreign invaders in the body so that they can be eliminated. In the human body, agglutinins function by causing pathogens to clump together; they act as a sort of gum or glue, which make this pathogens to stick together, this inactivate the pathogens and marked them out for elimination from the human system. Thus, agglutinins act like security guards by arresting disease causing organisms that enter the body.

It is often stated that the phosphate bonds in atp are "high energy," but in fact, they are not notably high in energy. rather,
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

The answer is Negative charges on phosphate groups repel each other. The oxygen groups of a phosphoanhydride in ATP have electron cloud that repels each other. On hydrolysis, once a phosphate is lost, the electrostatic repulsion is reduced.

When ATP is hydrolyzed, it forms more hydrogen bonds with surrounding water molecules that when ATP is unhydrolyzed. Therefore, more energy is released since more bonds are formed than are broken. The net delta G is positive during hydrolysis of ATP.
