An Earth scientist is testing how various soil mixtures affect plant growth. She begins with 10 soil types. For each mixture, she combines equal amounts of 2 soil types. How many soil mixtures must the scientist create in order to test all possible combinations of the 10 soil types?a. 20b. 45c. 55d. 90

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b

Explanation:

The correct answer would be 45.

Assuming that the 10 soils are each represented by A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.

A can combine with 9 others as: AB AC AD AE A F AG AH AI AJ

B can combine as: BC BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ

C as: CD CE CF CG CH CI CJ

D as: DE DF DG DH DI DJ

E as: EF EG EH EI EJ

F as: FG FH FI FJ

G as: GH GI GJ

H as: HI HJ

I as: IJ

Adding all the combinations together = 45

In other words;

[tex]^{10}C_2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{10!}{(2!(10 - 2)!)}[/tex] = 45

Answer 2

The soil mixtures must the scientist create in order to test all possible combinations of the 10 soil types- b. 45.

Given

soil samples = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

each mixture must have two sample

SolutionWe have to mix 2 soils in equal amounts. Then, the total number of possible soil mixtures are:-1 and 2, 1 and 3, 1 and 4, 1 and 5, 1 and 6, 1 and 7, 1 and 8, 1 and 9, 1 and 10 = >92 and 3, 2 and 4, 2 and 5, 2 and 6, 2 and 7, 2 and 8, 2 and 9, 2 and 10 => 83 and 4, 3 and 5, 3 and 6, 3 and 7, 3 and 8, 3 and 9, 3 and 10 => 74 and 5, 4 and 6, 4 and 7, 4 and 8, 4 and 9, 4 and 10 => 65 and 6, 5 and 7, 5 and 8, 5 and 9, 5 and 10 => 56 and 7, 6 and 8, 6 and 9, 6 and 10 => 47 and 8, 7and 9, 7 and 10 => 38 and 9, 8 and 10 => 29 and 10 => 1

Then Total mixtures possible are =

9 + 8 + 7 + 6+ 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

= 45

A student is investigating gas production of water plants of various sizes. She predicts that larger plants produce more oxygen. She places a test tube and funnel upside down over a water plant submerged in water. The test tube collects gas the plant produces when in sunlight. A diagram of her setup is shown below.

In this experiment, what is the independent variable?
A.The number of gas bubbles
B. The varying size of the plants
C. The test tube used to collect gas
D. The temperature of water in the beaker

Answers

Answer: The test tube used to collect gas (C)

Explanation:  If you illuminate a plant (I presume you are using an aquatic/water plant) it will produce oxygen. You can put the plant under a funnel and collect the bubbles in an upturned test tube. If the gas is collected fresh, it will relight a glowing splint. However, if the gas takes more than 24 hours to collect, or if you leave it for several hours before testing it, you may not relight a glowing splint.

In photosynthesis, the energy from the sun eventually gets converted into chemical energy in the form of ATP and sugar that the plant can use directly to fuel its biological processes. Which of the following correctly describes how plants use glucose after it is produced?

Answers:
Glucose enters the mitochondria for production of ATP.

Solar energy breaks apart glucose forming pyruvate.

The energy in glucose is never used by the plant.

Glucose is broken down into its components ATP and H ions.

Answers

Answer:

Glucose enters the mitochondria for production of ATP.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which solar energy is used to make glucose.

To generate chemical energy for cellular processes, glucose is broken down through cellular respiration in the mitochondria. This generates large amounts of ATP, which acts a source of energy to power reactions in the cell.

Excess glucose is stored as starch in plant cells

What experiment conducted by andre jagendorf with isolated thylakoid membranes proved that possibles solutions?A. Blue and red light, but not green, caused photosynthetic production of oxygenB. The ATP synthase complex functioned as a molecular rotary engineC. Molecular oxygen (O2) is derived from water, not CO2D. ATP and NADPH are the direct products of the light reactions, not sugar.E. ATP synthesis could be energized by a proton gradient.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option E, that is, synthesis of ATP could be mediated by a proton gradient.

Explanation:

Andre Jagendorf inserted chloroplasts for many hours within a buffer of pH 4 and then instantaneously mixed that with the buffer of pH 8. He came to known that in the stroma, a change in pH was witnessed, that is, it moved to 8 while in the thylakoid space there was no change, that is, the pH remained at 4. He then isolated the thylakoid and put it in the dark, he noticed that it produced ATP. This proves the hypothesis of Peter Mitchell that the production of ATP is mediated by proton-motive force.

A spring toy is moving down steps, What happens to the energy of the toy?

A. The toy gains energy as it moves.
B. The toy loses energy to the steps.
C.The amount and type of energy of the toy stays the same.
D. The amount of energy the toy has stays the same, but it changes form.​

Answers

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

Explanation:

When a spring toy is at the maximum point, it have maximum potential energy because it is given by :

PE = mgh where h is height and g is acceleration due to gravity

When it moves down steps, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases and it is given by :

KE=1/2 mv^2 where v is velocity of the object

It means when it is moves down step, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. So, the amount of energy the toy has stays the same, but it changes form.​ Hence, the correct option is (d).

Identify the organelles in the cell. Label A Label B Label C Label D

Answers

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete but the completed/similar question with the diagram is in the attachment below.

First of all, the cell is a plant cell because of the presence of the large central vacuole present and also the green colour of the outer part of the cell (which is not a coincidence). Let's proceed to identifying the organelles.

Label A is the large central vacuole. This is not the nucleus as might be confused with because the nucleus is the next big reddish organelle to the right of the vacuole.

Label B is the cell wall. Because this is a plant cell, it has a cell wall which can be clearly seen to be the most outermost layer. While the next yellow boundary line is the plasma membrane.

Label C is the chloroplast. Recall from elementary biology that the chloroplast stores the green pigment chlorophyll. The green colour of this internal organelle makes it identifiable as the chloroplast.

Label D is the starch granule. The shiny semicrystalline structure of this organelle makes it identifiable as the starch granule.

Answer:

Chloroplast, Vacuole, Cell wall, Endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

Label A: Chloroplast

Label B: Vacuole

Label C: Cell wall

Label D: Endoplasmic reticulum

a. 9 brown eyes: 7 blue eyes
b. 3 brown eyes: 1 blue eyes
c. All blue eyes
d. All brown eyes

Answers

In recessive epistasis, the epistatic gene -HERC2- in h0m0zyg0us recessive state inhibits the expression of the hypostatic gene -OCA2-. In the example, the F1 is heter0zyg0us for both genes. Option D. All brown eyes.

Epistasis

When talking about epistasis, we are referring to an interruption.

These are interactions between genes located in different loci in the same chromosome.

An epistatic gene can alter, influence, or suppress the expression of a hypostatic gene.

When the epistatic gene is recessive, the interaction is known as recessive epistasis.

Available data:

Two genesHERC2 gene is epistatic to the OCA2 geneCross:  blue-eyed OOhh woman and a blue-eyed ooHH man

We will assume that

hhOO, hhOo, hhoo                           Blue eyes        

                           

Individuals that are h0m0zyg0us recessive for HERC2 have blue eyes regardless of the genotype of the OCA2 gene.

This is, the genotype hh inhibits the expression of OO, Oo and oo.

F1) 100% of the progeny will be heter0zyg0us for both genes, expressing brown eye color.

Among the progeny, neither of the genes is in h0m0zyg0us recessive estate, meaning that the expression of brown eyes is possible.

The eye color among the progeny is expected to be 100% brown eyes. Option D.

What is likely to result? a) Floc levels will diminish b) Solid material will not be effectively fitered out c) Methane production will go down d) Floc will not be effectivelyftered out

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Anaerobic bacteria used in sewage treatment helps to reduce the volume/amount of sludge in the sewage thereby producing methane gas from it. Some companies produce there own (not for sale) methane gas (as an alternate source of energy) through this process. Thus, a decrease in the amount of this bacteria (perhaps through death as described in the question) will lead to a decreased production of methane gas.
