Which description identifies a factor that influences the flow of water through the plasma membrane of a human cell?
A. The size of the phospholipids and proteins composing the plasma membrane
B.the concentration of solutes on either side of the plasma membrane
C.the presence or absence of a cell wall outside the plasma membrane
D.the number of contractile vacuoles on the surface of the plasma membrane

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Osmosis refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. During this process, water molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.

A factor that influences the flow of water through the plasma membrane of a human cell is the concentration of solutes on either side of the plasma membrane (Option B).

Osmosis is a type of passive transport mechanism that does not require energy to occur.

During osmosis, water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of lower water concentration.

In an isotonic cell, the concentration of solutes and water molecules is equal on both sides of the plasma membrane.

In conclusion, a factor that influences the flow of water through the plasma membrane of a human cell is the concentration of solutes on either side of the plasma membrane (Option B).

A sample of Potassium-40 has a mass of 2020 grams.
Potassium-40 has a half life of 1.3 b.y. How much Potassium-40 and Argon 40 would there be after 5.2 b.y.

Answers

The idea here is that the ratio that exists between the number of atoms of argon-40 and the number of atoms of potassium-40 will give you the number of half-lives that passed.

As you know, the half-life of a radioactive nuclide tells you the time needed for half of the atoms of said nuclide to undergo radioactive decay.

In your case, you know that potassium-40 has a half-life of

1.25

billion years because that's how long it takes for half of the number of atoms present in the sample to decay to argon-40.

Now, let's say that your sample started with

A

K-40

atoms of potassium-40 and

0

atoms of argon-40.

You can thus say that the sample will contain--keep in mind that the atoms of potassium that decay form argon-40!

After

At this point, we can use this pattern to say that after

A

K-40

Now, you know that sample contains

you can say that

n

=

This means that

5

half lives must pass in order for the sample to contain

31

atoms of argon-40 for every

1

atom of potassium-40.

Consequently, you can say that the age of the rock is

5

half-lives

1.25 billion years

half-life

=

6.25 billion years

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

I'll leave the answer rounded to three sig figs, but keep in mind that you have two significant figures for the number of atoms of argon-40 present per atom of potassium-40.

How might retaining too much heat be a disadvantage to an organism?

Answers

Answer:

Too much heat can disrupt subcellular structures such as membrane proteins, and enzymes while damaging the integrity of the plasma membrane.

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids. These fold and bond to form several biologically important molecules. For instance, enzymes, a special type of protein functions by providing alternative reaction pathways. They work best at a specific pH and optimal temperature range, beyond which they become non-functional  or denatured entirely.

The denaturing of proteins occur at high temperatures, and alter protein folding, bonding and other types of behavior. Furthermore, membrane proteins are  important for regulating cell function. If these are disrupted, the system cannot maintain homeostasis i.e a constant internal environment.

Answers

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

No, the asteroid belt is not able to unite into a 9th planet because there is not enough total mass in the belt to form a planet. the other reason is that the belt is too close to Jupiter which make impossible to make the asteroid belt a planet. When this formation of new planet happens between the asteroid and Jupiter, Jupiter's gravitational forces act on the asteroid add up and strengthen each other, and they can easily kick the asteroid out of the solar system.

Answers

Answer:

Photosynthesis:

Function- Energy CaptureLocation of reactions- Chloroplast

Respiration

Energy releaseLocation of reactions- Mitochondria

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Here, solar  energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.

             6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Chloroplasts, are small membrane-bound organelles of multi-folded membranes containing pigments, enzymes, and other molecules that facilitate the process.

Nutrients for a number of metabolic processes are basic compounds and macromolecules available. Through processing organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins, animals get energy in heterotrophic nutrition.

For one for all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

O Competition
O Predation
O Commensalism
O Mutualism

Answers

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

Both plants don't fight over the spot and are in within the same place.

Grass and Dandelions both compete for nutrients and water belongs to the same species, competition occurs between the same species called interspecific competition, hence option b is correct.

What is the interaction between Grass and Dandelions?

When two distinct species fight for a restricted resource, such as space, this is known as interspecific competition. Grass, dandelions, and a variety of other plants compete for nutrients and water on a lawn.

Competition happens among individuals of the same species as well.  The deep taproot draws minerals from the earth, such as calcium, and makes them available to other plants. While most think of dandelions as lawn killers, they really enrich the grass.

It will attach itself to sharks and other large fish in order to get a ride underwater. This is an example of commensalism but this connection can evolve into mutualism when the remora feeds.

Therefore belongs to the same species kind of interspecific relation, Grass and Dandelions having the interaction of competition, hence option b is correct.

BRAINLIEST!!!CHAPTER II-THE SHE-WOLF, an excerpt From White Fang By Jack London Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad-cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land. As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer-so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics. At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said: "I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."
