Answer:

The correct answer will be- size of the parachute.

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the hypothesis if it could be proved or not.

An experiment must include all the variables mentioned in the hypothesis which can be categorized as the variable which can be manipulated called the independent variable and the variable which has to be tested called the dependent variable.

In the given question, the variable to be tested (dependent variable) is the time required by the parachute to fall on the ground and the variable which could be manipulated (independent variable) will be the size of the parachute in the experiment.

Thus, the size of the parachute is the correct answer.

Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this h
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

Place the following events of excitation in the correct order. 1) ion channels on the sarcolemma open and sodium ions enter the
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

4, 3 5, 1, 2.

Explanation:

The events of muscle contraction begins from the presynaptic neuron, which cause the influx of Ca+, and the release of acetycholine neurotransmitter  into the synaptic cleft.

The Ach, binds with the receptors in the sarcolemma, leading to opening of Ligand gated Na+ channels. Therefore Na+diffuses in, causing depolarization, and propagation of action potential along the sarcolemma  spreading to the  T-tubules.

This is followed by opening of Calcium channels leading  exist of Ca+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The Calcium binds with the troponin, and  Tropomysoin exposed the myosin binding sites  on the actin filament.Thus cross-bridge is formed by the myosin head  with thin filaments which   shortened the sarcomere, leading to contraction of muscle fibres.

"Sunlight is required for plant growth. When light energy is absorbed by a leaf, after a series of chemical reactions, the light
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

The green plants have green pigments present on their leaves, which are commonly known as chlorophyll. This chlorophyll pigments have the ability to absorb the necessary amount of sunlight, that is required to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis usually refers to the process where the green plants can synthesize their own food in the presence of sunlight, water (H₂O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂), and in return, it liberates food (glucose) and oxygen (O₂) that is essential for the survival of all living organisms.

The reaction that takes place during the time of photosynthesis is given below-

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This process converts light energy into chemical energy, that is stored in the molecules of glucose.

Hence, the above statement is TRUE.
