This paramecium has a nucleus and is comprised of one cell. Which terms best describe this organism?

Answers

Answer: The term that best describes this organism is that it's a UNICELLULAR PROTISTA.

Explanation:

Unicellular organisms are that are made up of just one cell. They are also called single- celled organisms. Examples of unicellular organisms include: Amoeba, chlamydomonas and paramecium.

The paramecium is a protist which is SINGLE-CELLED and is made up of eucaryotic cells in which the cell structure is complex with a well-defined NUCLEUS.

The structure of this organism helps it to survive in its environment. It has cilia that helps it move food into its gullet.

The food vacuole circulate along a definite path in the cytoplasm. The anterior and posterior contractile vacuole, with radiating channels draining into them, helps to get rid of excess water from the body. The food vacuoles circulate along a definite path in the cytoplasm. The anterior and posterior contractile vacuole, with radiating channels draining into them, helps to get rid of excess water from the body.

The NUCLEUS is used by the organism for sexual reproduction. This occurs in a process known as conjugation whereby the whole organism pair with another similar whole organism and exchange their nuclei.

There will be more yellow colored frogs in the population than red-colored frogs
There will be more green colored frogs in the population than yellow-colored frogs.
There will be more blue colored frogs in the population than yellow-colored frogs.

Answers

Answer:

There will be more yellow-colored frogs in the population than red-colored frogs

Explanation:

Available data:

Strawberry poison dart frogs have different skin colorsThe frogs can be categorized broadly using the colors green, blue, yellow, and red.Frogs eaten by snakes

Number of snake attacks             Frog color

145 Approx                                          Green

180 Approx                                          Blue

125 Approx                                          Yellow

145 Approx                                          Red

 

The phenotype of individuals and the environment where they live, interact and determines the genes´ destiny in space and time. The result of this interaction and the gene destiny is Natural Selection. Natural selection selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.

The attack by snakes is acting as a selective pressure on the frogs´ population. It is an ecological pressure that is modeling the frogs´ phenotype.

Animals that suffer more attacks are the blue ones, followed by green and red frogs. Those that suffer the fewest number of attacks are the yellow individuals.

So natural selection will be acting on this population favoring the alleles that code for yellow color. Genes that express yellow color increase more the frogs´ fitness than genes that code for the other colors. So natural selection increases the frequency of genes coding for yellow color and will decrease the frequency of the other alleles. Probably the less favored will be genes that express blue.

Fill in the blanks about each of the following sequential steps of the electron transfer chain (ETC) of the inner mitochondrial membrane.

a. The initial electron donor of the ETC is _______________, which hands its two electrons off to FMN, within Complex I.
b. Electrons from both Complex I and Complex II are ultimately donated to the same molecule, ____________.
c. Within Complex III, electrons from ubiquinol are ultimately donated to ______________, which then passes those electrons on to Complex IV.
d. ______________ is the final electron acceptor of the ETC.
e. The downhill movement of electrons through the ETC creates a proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The _________________ subunit of the ATP synthase creates a channel that allows for the downhill movement of protons from the intermembrane space to the matrix.
f. The concomitant release of free energy drives the synthesis of ATP by the ____________ subunit of that same protein.

Answers

Answer:

a. NADH

b. Ubiquinone

c. Cytochrome c

d. Oxygen

e. F0 subunit  

f. F1 subunit  

 

Explanation:

Electrons enter the Electron Transport Chain (ETC) from Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH), which is an electron donor generated during different catabolic reactions (e.g., glucose oxidation). Ubiquinone or 'Coenzyme Q' is an electron acceptor that accepts electrons from both Complex I and Complex II and donates electrons to Complex III. The oxygen (O) is the final electron acceptor that accepts the electrons after they have passed through the ETC and ATPase. Complex III (also known as Ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase) catalyzes the electron transfer from ubiquinol to Cytochrome c, which is coupled to proton translocation across the membrane. The F0 subunit of the ATP synthase forms a channel (embedded in the mitochondrial membrane) through which protons can flow. Moreover, the F1 subunit of the ATP synthase uses the energy released by the proton electrochemical gradient to drive the synthesis of ATP.

Which description accurately describes the cell membrane?

a. a single permeable layer of phospholipids that have hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails

b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

c. a single permeable layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

d. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophobic heads and hydrophilic tails

e. a barrier of polypeptides that prevents molecules from entering or leaving the cell

Answers

Answer:

b. a semi-permeable double layer of phospholipids that have hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails

Explanation:

B is correct as the cell membrane is selectively semi-permeable. It is selectively semi-permeable because this quality allows it to control what can and can't enter the cell, and how it does so.

The cell membrane also has a phospholipid bi-layer comprised of a double layer of phospholipids which have hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails. This is because the heads are made of phosphate and are polar and are therefore attracted to water (hydrophilic), while the tails are made of lipids (i.e. fats, oils) which do not mix with water and are therefore hydrophobic.

The properties of each phospholipid is also why they form the double layer structure, the hydrophilic heads naturally face outwards into the water and protect the hydrophobic tails on the inside.

A 20.0 gram sample of a certain radioisotope decays over a
period of 19.2 hours. After that time, only 2.50 g of the isotope
remains. Calculate the half-life.

Answers

quantity of the substance remaining = initial quantity of the substance * (.5)^(time elapsed/half life of the substance)

2.50 = 20 * (.5)^(19.2/x)

The half-life period of the given sample of the radioisotope is equal to 6.41 hours.

What is the half-life period?

The half-life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time that is required to reduce the original quantity of a radioactive element to half after decay.

Half-life of a radioactive element is the characteristic of the element and does not depend upon the initial amount of the radioactive substance.

Given, the original amount of the radioisotope, N₀ = 20.0 g

The remaining amount of the radioisotope, N = 2.50 g

The time for which decay occurs, t = 19.2 hours

Consider that k is the rate constant of the decay of radioisotope,

[tex]k =\frac{2.303}{t} \times log \frac{N_0}{N}[/tex]

[tex]k =\frac{2.303}{19.2} log \frac{20}{2.50}[/tex]

k = 0.108 hr⁻¹

The half-life time of radioisotope can be calculated from the below mentioned formula:

[tex]t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{0.693}{k}[/tex]

[tex]t_{\frac{1}{2}} =\frac{0.693}{0.108}[/tex]

[tex]t_{\frac{1}{2}} =6.41 hrs[/tex]

Therefore, the half-life period of the given sample of the radioisotope will be to 6.41 hours.

Among Delta-back stripped fish, there are two genes that segregate independently of one another. Suppose the alleles at the first locus are A (dominant) and a (recessive) and the alleles at the second locus are B (dominant) and b recessive). If an AABB fish mates with an aabb fish, and their offspring are inter-crossed, the proportion of F2 fish that show a recessive phenotype at the first locus and a dominant phenotype at the second is:

Answers

Answer:

4/16

Explanation:

It is given that the alleles of the first locus = A dominant and recessive a

The allele of the second locus = B dominant and the recessive b.

Now if fish with AABB mates with the aabb fishes, then to tell the proportion of the F2 fish which shows either the dominant phenotype at the [tex]$\text{first locus}$[/tex] and also a recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{second locus}$[/tex].

So for this, the recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{first locus}$[/tex] as well as the recessive phenotype at the [tex]$\text{second locus}$[/tex] is in the ratio of 4/16.

84 66


Which of the following statements best describes the experimental probability of getting heads?
It is equal to the theoretical probability.
It is 6% lower than the theoretical probability.
It is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.
The experimental probability cannot be concluded from the data in the table.

Answers

Answer:

it is 6% higher than the theoretical probability.

Explanation:

we start with out experimental.

84 times heads out of 150.

84/150 = 56.

=56%

now for theoretical.

since there are 2 sides, there are 2 chances of randomly getting heads.

1/2 = 50%

56% > 50%

therefore your answer is that it is 6% higher. hope my explanation helps!
