Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants trap light energy using chlorophyll (green pigment) in their chloroplast to make food.
Explanation:
All the material necessary for Photosynthesis to occur are acquired by: active transport to absorb water into the roots, this water later travels up the xylem into the leaves due to the transpirational pull.
The Carbon Dioxide diffuses into the stoma (pores on the backside of the leaves) while oxygen diffuses out as a by-product.
There are two stages of Photosynthesis:
Light dependent stage:
In this stage, the water(H2O) that is present in the leaves are split apart by the light energy that is trapped by the chlorophyll and Oxygen leaves as by-product.
equation: 2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2(g)
Light independent stage:
In this stage the Hydrogen from the water combines with Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere to produce glucose.
equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
The plant can then use the glucose to repair its cells or for respiration and converts the rest into starch for storage.
How does dehydrating or drying food help preserve it?A. It decreases the smell so other animals won't come steal itB. Removing the water hinders the ability for chemical reactions, which keeps microbes from growingC. The food becomes smaller and more easily stored.D. This increases the good bacteria to hinder the growth of bad bacteria
Water is needed for all life forms, including microorganisms, removing the water from food to preserve it means the microorganisms cannot perform the chemical reactions needed to consume the food, so the food is preserved for a longer time (option B is the right answer).
The digestive process involves two main types of digestion. Identify each one and explain how each works to break down food. Indicate where each type of digestion takes place in the body.
please help need to finish on Friday
The two types of digestion include the following below:
Mechanical digestion - This involves the use of physical methods and force to break down food such as in the mouth.Chemical digestion - This involves enzymatic action to break food down such as in the stomach.What is Digestion?This is referred to as the process in which food is broken down into smaller substances so as to be acted on by enzymes and assimilated into the bloodstream for the optimal functioning of the body.
Mechanical digestion happens in the mouth and it involves processes such as chewing while chemical digestion involves the breakdown of food through enzymatic actions.

Is the trait (blue) in the pedigree most likely caused by the presence of a dominant or recessive allele?Group of answer choicesrecessivedominantneitherboth
The blue trait is most likely caused by a dominant allele (e.g. allele A), while the white trait is caused by a recessive allele (allele a). However, for the diagram to be correct, individuals 1I and 2I must have genotypes Aa (blue) and aa (white) respectively, thus making the punnet squares, the genotypes of their offspring would be Aa (blue) and aa (white). In turn, we can verify that this is correct by observing the third generation since if the blue individuals of the second generation had genotype AA, they could not have white offspring (aa). If we make all the crosses, the genotypes would be as follows:
1 I: Aa 2 I: aa
1 II: Aa 2 II: aa 3 II: aa 4 II: aa 5 II: Aa 6 II: aa 7 II: Aa 8 II: Aa
1 III: Aa 2 III: aa 3 III: aa 4 III: aa 5 III: aa 6 III: Aa or AA 7 III: aa 8 III: Aa or AA 9 III: aa

In what situation would the allelefrequency of a population NOT change?A. when individuals move into or out of an environmentB. when there is no evolutionC. when mutations create new allelesD. when individuals choose their mates
Answer
B. when there is no evolution
Explanation
In this process humans would select animals or plants with a trait they desire then breed those organisms to produce more individuals with the desired traits.Natural selectionContaminationInseminationArtificial selection.
The correct answer is Artificial selection.
Humans interfere in the natural process of organisms that they slect the desirable trait for the organisms that they think best will help the organisms to adapt well into their environment.
An organism is born with a genetic abnormality not present in any of its ancestors. This abnormality is most likely the result of?
Genetic diseases or abnormalities can be inherited or a result of a mutation, which is a change in the nucleotide sequence in the DNA of the organism.
Mutations can happen as a result of errors during mitosis or meiosis, as well as by damage from exposure to UV radiation or a chemical substance.
So, the right answer is mutation (option A)

Explanation:
What is the meaning of the term plankton? Name two types of plankton
EXPLANATION/ANSWER:
The term "plankton" comes from the Greek word "planktos" which means wandering. Planktons are microscopic organisms that are floating and being carried by tides and currents. There are two types of planktons: phytoplankton and zooplankton. Phytoplanktons are aquatic microorganisms that have chlorophyll and can make food from sunlight. Zooplanktons are aquatic microorganisms that consume phytoplanktons or other zooplanktons.
Which of the following choices is a form of asexual reproduction?OOOOfragmentation and regenerationoviparous eggsovoviviparous developmentviviparous development
Fragmentation and regeneration are forms of asexual reproduction.
There are no sexual cells involved, and they divide by mitosis, giving genetically identical individuals.
Why do we use onion root tips and whitefish embryos to view mitosis?
Cells divide for three reasosn: growth, reproduction and repair.
Onion root tips and whitefish embryos presents cells that's always undergoing mitosis.
Onion root tips are always growing to get more water and nutrients from the soil, therefore mitosis is always occuring to duplicate the cells and maintain a growing rate.
Whitefish embryos have cells that are undergoing mitosis rapidly, as it is a phase of intense growing and formation of the embryos to become fish.
Explain why giraffes have long necks.In your explanation include the role of the environment, selective pressure, 3 ingredients to Natural Selection, The effect on the population, and allele frequency
Giraffes are believed to have short necks but there was a chance in neck length variations. Some giraffes have a little longer compared to the average length. The main source of nutrition for giraffes is tree leaves. Maybe there was an environmental change that occurred that there was a limited source of leaves and as a result, there were more giraffes than trees; therefore, there is a struggle for existence.
In this event, variation, fitness differences, and inheritance (3 ingredients of natural selection) must occur for the species to survive. Longer necked giraffes are more likely to reach the leaves of the trees and have a higher chance of survival and reproduction; thus, they have greater fitness. This trait (long necks) was passed on to the offspring and eventually, all giraffes have long necks.
The allele frequency of the population of giraffes eventually changes to favor the trait that will give the species a higher chance of survival in their environment.
_________ are groups of organisms with the same genetic code that breed and produce offspring that can breed. AdaptationSpeciesSelectionCommunity
The correct option is species. Species are individuals linked by their reproductive characteristics and often by their evolutionary mechanisms and history.

May I get help with number two and with a punnets square
The hemophilia gene is an X-linked recessive gene. This means that a person will be hemophiliac if has two copies of the recessive "h" allele (in the case of females) or if has one copy (in the case of males). This also means that if the individual possesses the dominant H allele, he or she will not have hemophilia. Therefore, when performing the punnet table of section 2, we can observe that only one of four descendants would present hemophilia and in this case, it would be a male with genotype X^h Y (25% male), and only one of four would be a carrier that doesn't present hemophilia and in this case, it would be a woman with genotype X^H X^h (25% female)
What kingdoms of life can have either sexual or asexual reproduction?Plantae, archaea, fungiAnimalia, plantae, and fungiPlantae, protista, and fungiEubacteria, protista, and fungi
We have to consider that sexual and asexual reproduction differs in that the first one requires both organisms, one male and one female, to produce genetically different offspring, while the second one requires only one organism to produce genetically identical offspring.
About the kind of organisms mentioned in the answer options, we can say Protista includes Fungi, so the answer options that include both of them can be excluded, mainly due to choosing one of those options would exclude other organisms that can be in fact sexual or asexual.
Having this clear, we can say that organisms such as those belonging to the Plantae, Fungi, and Animalia kingdoms can reproduce in these two ways (unlike Archaea, and Eubacteria).
In the pictures below we can see examples of organisms of these species that can reproduce both asexually and sexually. In them, we can see ants (which can produce eggs with only the genetic load of one parental organism), plants (which can reproduce through branches, but also through seeds), and fungi (which can reproduce also mitotically and meiotically), as in the second answer option.
Name some structures that come from the brain region of the telencephalon
The telencephalon is formed by four major structures: cerebral cortex (the hemispheres parts of the brain), limbic forebrain (brain part where you can find amigdala), basal ganglia, and the olfactory system. There are also the subcortical structures that includes the hippocampus (part og hippocampal formation in the brain), and amygdala (brain center to regulate memory and others associated functions). The telencephalon is the farthest end of the neural tube, being during the developtment of the organism divided into two structures that will form the cerebral hemispheres. The cerebral cortex is also divided into prefrontal cortex, motor cortex, occipital cortex, and so on.

When a population is growing as fast as possible, it has reached its ___________.A. Carrying CapacityB. Competitive ExclusionC. Allele FrequencyD. Biotic Potential
General category: Biology.
Sub-category: Ecology
Topic: Population growth
Introduction:
The Biotic potential is described by the unrestricted growth of populations. This event causes the maximum growth of that population.
Explanation:By definition, when a population reaches the biotic potential, then the species has its highest birthrate or a high number of births or accelerated population growth and lowest mortality rate.
we can conclude that the correct answer is:
Answer:D. Biotic Potential
A scientist is studying the inheritance of two characteristics in plants: red flowers (RR and Rr) , which are dominant to yellow flowers (rr) , and green leaves (GG and Gg) , which are dominant to yellow leaves (gg).She crosses a double heterozygous (RrGg) with a double recessive (rrgg), and expect to see a 1:1:1:1 ratio in the offspring.Instead, she sees these results: Which phenomenon would she hypothesize accounts for the pattern she sees?crossing-overindependent assortmentcytokinesisrespiration
It wouldn't be respiration, because it has no direct relation to procreation. It wouldn't be independent assortment also, because this is the phenomenon that would explain the expected result. It also wouldn't be cytokinesis because this phenomenon is related to cell division, in which the combinations are already set. So, it is crossing-over, because this phenomenon occurs when ther is a switch between homologous chromatids occured during meiosis, which means that the chromosomes are so close to each other that they can trade parts of itselfs with other chromosomes, unexpectedly providing a different outcome than the one that was expected. So, the answer is crossing-over.

Grasslands (?)
Explanation:
You didn't give much context, but grasslands have warm temperatures and are generally dominated by grass--
Tropical grasslands have dry and wet seasons that remain warm all the time.
Temperate grasslands have cold winters and warm summers with some rain.
The most likely answer is tropical grasslands because they are warm all the time. (grasslands is a more open answer)
Which of the following is NOT a consequence of using fossil fuels?A. Copper sulfate is released, contributing to destruction of the Ozone layer.B. Carbon dioxide is released, contributing to global warming.C. Sulfur dioxide is released, contribing to acid rain.D. Ash is released, contributing to solid waste in landfills.
Biology > Ecology > Air pollution
Burning fossil fuels such as gasoline or oil generates numerous pollutants, such as ashes, sulfur and carbon dioxides, which contaminate the environment, affect air quality and contribute to global warming.
One of the compounds not generated during this process is copper sulfates. Therefore, the answer is A.
