How many contractions per minute were required for the paramecium to maintain a relatively stable internal solute concentration

and stay the same size?
Think and answer: How might a paramecium maintain its volume in a slightly hypertonic solution?

Question: How does a paramecium respond to changing solute concentrations?
1. Form a hypothesis: How do you think the number of contractile vacuole contractions will change

when the water solute concentration is reduced? Please explain.

Answer:

abt 24 contraction per min is needed to maintain a relatively stable internal solute conc.

paramecium maintain its volume by preventing itself from shrinking by holding in as much water as it can.

When the water solute concentration is reduced, the number of vacuole contractions will increase. But when the water solute concentrations rise, the number of vacuole contraction will decrease.

When the number of vacuole contractions will increase, the water solute concentration is reduced. But when the water solute concentrations rise, the number of vacuole contraction will decrease. So it is cetris paribus, means when the one is increase the other one will decrease.

Elis [28]

Answer:    Language barriers

Explanation:  People from different countries can learn English and understand the daily communication needed to function normally. However, when it comes to expressions, slang and phrases that are characteristic of English, as well as any other language, it is necessary to get into the spirit of the language, i.e. to know something more than the language. It implies a way of life, a tradition, a slang that even varies from country to country within the English speaking area. In other words, more time should be spent in a country where English is spoken so that people can start joking in English and understand slang and use it.

How do structures in living organisms compare with structures of nonliving things such as construction cranes, buildings, ships,
hjlf
For the answer to the question above, there is no such thing as a non-living organism. Because organisms are only a term for living things.

1. Cellular structure: all living organisms generally have a cellular structure i.e., they are made up of one or more cells. 
<span>The protoplasm is the physical basis of life. </span>

<span>There is no such fundamental and structural unit called cell in non-living things. </span>

<span>2. metabolism : The various life processes taking place within the body of an organism is collectively termed metabolism. The metabolic processes can occur only in living organisms and not in nonliving things. </span>

<span>3. growth, repair and death : Growth consists of the living organism absorbing materials entirely different from those that make up its body and convert them into body building substances. Growth in non-living substances such as crystal is at the cost of material similar to that of which it consists. Same substance is added without conversion. </span>
<span>The growth is permanent, irreversible process in living organisms but can be reversed in non-living things. </span>
<span>Growth is different in different parts of the body of an organism. Growth is uniform throughout in the non-living things. </span>

<span>Respiration, nutrition,excretion, movement,irritability, reproduction, life span, death, evolvability are other properties of a living organism.</span>

If 32 packed volume units of cells are separated from 46 volume units of plasma from a blood sample, the haematocrit is _______
nordsb [41]

Answer:

If 32 packed volume units of cells are separated from 46 volume units of plasma from a blood sample, the hematocrit is <u>41,02%</u> percent. The hematocrit value is <u>within the normal</u> range.

Explanation:

Hello!

Hematocrit (or packed cell volume -PCV-)is defined as the percentage of red blood cells (vol%) in a blood sample. One common method of determining it is by centrifuging a heparinized blood sample in a capillary tube at 10 000 RPM for five minutes. This separates the blood sample in two layers, formed elements (RBC and WBC) and Plasma.

The length of the layers is directly measured from the tube and represents the volume of packed cells and plasma. Since the number of white cells is negligible compared to the number of red cells, the formed elements are considered to represent the red blood cells.

The hematocrit can be calculated as the volume of packed cells divided by the total volume of the blood sample.

\frac{PCV}{TOTAL(pcv+plasma} * 100

<u>In the question:</u>

\frac{32}{32+46} * 100 = \frac{32}{78} * 100 = 41,02%

In humans the normal hematocrit range is 40,7% to 50,3% for men and 36,1% to 44,3%. Taking these reference values into consideration, this sample is within the normal range.

I hope you have a SUPER day!

In three to five sentences, describe the advantages and disadvantages of these maps in modeling mitosis.
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Mitosis involves in cell division.

Explanation:

Mitosis may be defined as a process of cell division which results in the formation of two daughter cells each from a parent cell and each cell having having the same number of chromosomes and chromosomes of the same type as that of the parent nucleus.

The main difference between meiosis and mitosis of a nucleus cell is that it involves only one cell division. And so the cell goes by the steps of prophase, then metaphase, then anaphase and finally telophase. The specialized cells could not survive independently to each other, so they have to develop some complex system of communications like the circulatory system and the nervous system. In this way they can survive. If one of the system dies, entire organisms is more likely to follow.

C4 plants occur more commonly in desert conditions because _____.
hjlf

Answer:

The correct answer is option E.

Explanation:

C4 plants are the plants that utilize the Hatch-Slack pathway or C4 carbon fixation type of photosynthesis process in which carbon dioxide into 4 carbon sugar to move to the Calvin cycle.

These plants are present more commonly in dry and hot climates such as deserts due to their ability to the fixed carbon at a low concentration of carbon dioxide and produce more energy when stomata are closed. Corn, pineapple sugarcane and many more are examples of the C4 plants.

Thus, the correct answer is option - E.
