a. Add to the formula in Interactive Question 3.5 to
show how increasing (CO2) dissolving in water leads
to a lower pH.
b. Use this formula to explain how a lower pH would
affect the [CO32-) in the ocean.
HCO3 SCO32- + H+
c. Assuming a fairly constant (Ca2+] in the ocean, how
would a change in (CO32-) affect the calcification
rate--the production of calcium carbonate
(CaCO3)-by the coral in a reef ecosystem?
Answers
Answers and Explanation:
a.)
Lower pH of a substance is indicative of increased acidity. By dissolving carbon dioxide to release [tex]CO_{3} ^{2-}[/tex] which easily reacts with water to form carbonic acid, thereby increasing water acidity.
b.)
The increased acidity of the ocean makes the water naturally corrosive and soft which implies reduced carbonate levels in the ocean.
c.)
Calcification occurs through formation of calcium carbonate by reaction of calcium with carbon dioxide, or even more easily Ca2+ and [tex]CO_{3} ^{2-}[/tex]. This implies that increased calcium levels in the ocean increases rate of calcification and reduced [tex]CO_{3} ^{2-}[/tex] ions.

When sugars are broken down to produce usable energy for cells, a large amount of heat is released. Explain how the water inside a cell helps to keep a cell’s temperature constant.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
This is due to the fact that water has high specific heath capacity,which makes it to accommodate large amount of heat energy produced by the catabolic reactions which liberated heat.
General, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a particular substance over a given amount is called the specific heat capacity of that substance. Therefore for water, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the mass of 1kg of water by 1 degree is called the specific heat capacity of water.
Since large hydrogen bonds held water molecules together,it takes a long time of heat energy to break these bonds free to raise the temperature of water.Hence, water in living cells is able to accommodate large amount of heat energy to stabilise the temperate of the cells.

Which of the following characteristics are DNA specific characteristics?
a) sugar is missing an oxygen
b) double stranded
c) found only in the nucleus
d) features the bases G,T,A and C
Answers
Answer:
a, b, and d
Explanation:
The correct options would be options a, b, and d.
The DNA is primarily made up of 3 components, namely:
Deoxyribose pentose sugar: a sugar that is missing an oxygen, and hence, the prefix 'deoxy'.Phosphate group.Purine and pyrimidine bases. The purine bases include Adenine (A) and Guanine (G), while the pyrimidine bases include Cytosine (C) and Thymine (T)The DNA consists of two strands that are linked together through a hydrogen bond. They are usually found primarily in the nucleus and organelles like mitochondrion and chloroplast of eukaryotic organisms. However, due to the absence of nucleus in prokaryotic organisms, DNA is found within the cytoplasm.
Hence, the correct properties of DNA according to the question are:

Fifty volunteers from the mayor’s office agree to be tested. First, they are asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a pollution-free air chamber. A week later, the 50 volunteers return and are again asked to ride a stationary bike for 1 hour in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles. Their heart rates are monitored throughout the 1 hour bike rides. Name the control group Name the experimental group Name the independent variable Name the dependent variable
Answers
Answer:
Control group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a pollution-free chamber
Experimental group: volunteer stationary bike riders in a chamber filled with air pollutants common to Los Angeles
Independent variable: exposure to air pollution
Dependent variable: The heart rates (physical fitness) of the volunteer riders.
Explanation:
In a scientific experiment, data is compared between the control group and experimental group to ascertain the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. A control group is the group in an experiment that is not treated with the independent variable i.e. the independent variable is controlled while the experimental group is the group that is treated with an independent variable.
N.B: The independent variable is the variable controlled by the experimenter in order to influence the dependent variable (measurable outcome).
In this experiment, the independent variable is the AIR POLLUTION the volunteer riders are exposed to while the dependent variable is the PHYSICAL FITNESS/ HEART RATES of the volunteer riders, which is dependent on the exposure to air pollution (independent variable).
The control group in this experiment is the volunteer riders placed in a POLLUTION-FREE CHAMBER where the independent variable cannot influence or have any effect on the measurable variable (dependent). The experimental group is the volunteer riders placed in a CHAMBER FILLED WITH AIR POLLUTANTS. The independent variable (air pollution) has been changed in the experimental group.
How could this statement be revised to make it a hypothesis? Fish meal is safer than artificial fertilizers, but it does not make plants grow. Fish meal is a better fertilizer than artificial fertilizer because fish meal is natural. Plants that are fertilized with fish meal will grow taller than plants that receive artificial fertilizer. Plants that receive artificial fertilizer will be better than plants that receive fish meal.

Determine what organism fits the following niche: Heterotroph, non-motile, spores.
A. Ferns
B. E. coli bacteria
C. Fly Cap mushroom
D. Arctic Hare
Answers
Answer:
C. Fly Cap mushroom
Explanation:
All fungi are heterotrophic organisms because they obtain food and energy from external sources. Moreover, fungi are non-motile since they don't move. Finally, these organisms produce both sexual and asexual spores which are dispersed by wind and water.
On the other hand, the mushroom is the body of a fungus that grows on the soil, generally in humid and shady areas. The fly agaric mushroom is one of the most recognizable species of fungus.
Indicate whether each of the following statements about regulatory proteins is true or false.
1. Regulatory proteins control transcription initiation by modulating the ability of DNA polymerase to bind to the promoter.
2. Regulatory proteins function by binding to specific sequences on the DNA called regulatory sequence.
3. Hundreds of regulatory sequences have been identified and each one provides a binding site for a specific protein that is able to recognize the sequence.
4. In order to recognize and bind to the correct regulatory sequence, a regulatory protein must unwind and separate the two strands of the DNA double helix.
5. Binding of a regulatory protein to DNA either inhibits transcription by getting in the way of RNA polymerase or stimulates transcription by favoring the binding of RNA polymerase to the promoter.
6. Repressors are regulatory proteins that bind to RNA polymerase and act to prevent or decrease the initiation of transcription.
7. Activators are regulatory proteins that bind to enhancers and act to stimulate the initiation of transcription.

What is one benefit of cutting off the unopened flower buds after cross-pollination the open flowers in Wisconsin Fast Plants
Answers
Answer:
Plants will no longer use the resources to produce flowers but will convert those resources to produce seeds
Explanation:
Wisconsin Fast Plants are variety of Brassica rapa that was developed in order to improve the ability of cruciferous crops to resist to diseases.
After cross pollination( transfer of pollen from another to stigma of two different plants), using cut method, it will be difficult to close the flower bud that was cut, the resources or nutrients that will be needed to produce another flower will be use to produce seeds because the flower bud cannot be close and the bud are exposed as new flowers.

In DNA , what base pairs with cytosine? adenine guanine cytosine thymine
Answers
Answer:
guanine
Explanation:
IN DNA guanine make a base pair with cytosine and thymine make a base pair with adenine
In DNA, cytosine binds with guanine in the opposite strand. Therefore, option "B" is correct.
What is nucleotide base pairing?There are five types of nucleotide bases adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymidine, and uracil. These divide into two classes of nucleotides pyrimidine and purine nucleotide bases. Pyrimidines are uracil, thymine, and cytosine whereas adenine and guanine are purines.
DNA consists of adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymidine. In RNA, adenine, cytosine, and guanine are present but thymine is replaced by uracil. Pyrimidine always binds with the purines through hydrogen bonding. Adenine binds with thymine. Cytosine binds with guanine. But when adenine pairs with uracil in RNA.
Therefore, nucleotides are the functional units of DNA.
