An inflated basketball hold 6 liters of air at 3 ATM. How much air at 1 ATM went into the ball

Answers

Answer:

18 litres

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law equation as follows:

P1V1 = P2V2

Where;

P1 = initial pressure (atm)

P2 = final pressure (atm)

V1 = initial volume (litres)

V2 = final volume (litres)

According to the information in this question, An inflated basketball hold 6 liters (V1) of air at 3 atm (P1). The volume of air (V2) at 1 atm (P2) that went into the ball can be calculated thus:

Using P1V1 = P2V2

3 × 6 = 1 × V2

18 = V2

V2 = 18 litres.

The process of meiosis is essential in the sexual reproduction and life cycle of many organisms. The outcome of meiosis is haploid gametes. Which statements correctly describe the importance of meiosis to the life cycle or these organisms?
A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.
B) Taking a diploid cell to its haploid state occurs during the first cell division of meiosis.
C) Checkpoints during meiosis ensures that chromosome separation occurs accurately, avoiding non-disjunction.
D) DNA synthesis occurs before each cell division in meiosis ensures that the integrity of the chromosomes is maintained.
E) Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization.

Answers

Answer:

E) Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization.

A) Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that strictly occurs in sexually-reproducing organisms. It is the process whereby four daughter cells that are genetically different from their parents are produced. In meiosis, the chromosome number of each daughter cell (gamete) is reduced by half. As highlighted in this question, the meiotic process is essential in the sexual reproduction and life cycle of many organisms.

This importance is attributed to the fact that:

- Reducing the number of chromosomes by half during meiosis ensures the chromosome number is maintained during fertilization. That is, a diploid organism (2n) produces a haploid gamete (n), which becomes diploid again when fertilized by another gamete.

- Increasing genetic diversity ensures that no two haploid gametes are exactly the same. This occurs because of a process called CROSSING OVER, which enables that the alleles of each gamete is recombined to be different from one another in order to promote genetic diversity.

Due to stomata.

Explanation:

Transpiration occurs mainly through leaves because of the presence of stomata n the lower side of the leaves. Transpiration refers to the loss of water from the body of plants so leaves has small pores which is used by the plant to regulate internal temperature.  Sunken stomata lower the rate of transpiration because it is not directly exposed to the surface which protects the escaping water vapor due to air.

A cluster of cases of legionellosis have occurred in your neighborhood. People with the illness have cough, fever, shortness of breath, chest pain and sometimes diarrhea. The illness is caused by the bacterium Legionella pneumophila, a facultative intracellular parasite that survives in certain ameba. The organism has an absolute requirement for L-cysteine. Typically, the organism is grown on buffered charcoal yeast extract (BCYE) agar. In some labs, samples containing suspected L. pneumophila are cultured on traditional BCYE medium as well as BCYE medium lacking L-cysteine. How would L. pneumohila be identified in this situation

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - comparing the presence of an essential component of the L. pneumophila that is cysteine.

Explanation:

As we know that L-cysteine is essential for the organism L. pneumophila to grow its colonies. The identification is easy in this situation by comparing the two cultured on the traditional BCYE medium and BCYE medicum without L-cysteine.

Colonies that grow on traditional BYCE medium are likely L. pneumophila as they required L-cysteine but not on BYCE medium lacking cysteine.

A. This definition overlooks artificial preproduction, such as in zoos
B. Reproductive isolation doesn't take outgroups into account
C. This definition excludes organisms that reproduce asexually
D. Reproductive isolation can be accomplished in a variety of ways

Answers

I haven’t had bio in a while, but I believe that it’s C) since the definition of species is very complicated

The correct option is (c) This definition excludes organisms that reproduce asexually.

Asexual reproduction is also possible in bacteria, yeast, fungi, plants, and other organisms. Most frequently, yeast proliferate by budding. Plants and fungi both use spores for asexual reproduction. Additionally, plants are capable of reproducing asexually by vegetative propagation.Numerous eukaryotic creatures, such as plants, animals, and fungus, are also capable of asexual reproduction. Parthenogenesis, the most prevalent type of asexual reproduction in vertebrates, is frequently employed as an alternative to sexual reproduction when sexual reproduction isn't an option.

What are the 4 types of asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction includes fission, budding, fragmentation, and parthenogenesis, while sexual reproduction is achieved through the combination of reproductive cells from two individuals.

When a substrate binds to an enzyme, the enzyme induces a loss of water from the substrate. d. When a substrate binds to an enzyme, free energy is released due to non-covalent interactions.

Answers

Answer:

Option A, Substrate binding may induce a conformational change in the enzyme, which them brings catalytic groups into proper orientation.

Explanation:

Induced fit concept refers to introduction of continuous change of enzyme conformation on substrate binding. This change in the shape of enzyme either inhibit or enhance the activity of enzyme. This makes the enzyme catalytic and hence lower the activation energy thereby increasing rate of reaction.
