Identify the cost or costs of hydroelectric power plants:


Water at the bottom of the reservoir lake (behind the dame contains colder water with less oxygen than surface water. When this is released into the rive downstream, it ca affect the fish living these that are accustomed to warmer, oxygen-rich water.


Dams without side channels interfere with fish needing to swim upstream to lay eggs for reproduction may not be able to get past the dams and young fish that are swimming downstream may be killed by the turbine blades. This has caused a severe decrease in sockeye salmon populations in areas of Northwest U.S.


All of these are some of the possible costs of hydroelectric power plants.


Sometimes a lot of water is released by a dam at a given time, resulting in flooding downstream. This affects both wildlife and drinking water. Flooding also often occurs during the construction of a dam as the reservoir fills in areas that were once above the water level forcing people and animals to relocate due to lost habitat.

How did researchers try to change the avian flu virus to make it more easily spread between humans?

Answers

The accumulation of several mutations in the main gene on the virus's surface may be able to give H7N9 the ability to spread like human flu viruses do, passing from person to person through coughing and sneezing.

Answer:

They did not try to do this.

Bird flu, when it first crossed over to humans, was not human to human transmissible.

But as a virus evolves, we expect sooner or later that it would get that ability.

Researchers do not need to try to get evolution what evolution would do all by itself anyway.

I know that very often the people that say that the Chinese created a virus in a lab are also people that say that they do not believe in evolution.

Stop being a hypocrite about it.

No one was researching how to do this, no one needed to research how to do this because this is done naturally by natural evolution, and no one would want to do this for any reason.

When you accuse “researchers” of trying to do something that has no benefit to science then you accuse all science researchers when you lie about it.

Por que las hojas de la lechuga se ponen turgentes al dejarla en agua y luego al preparar la ensalda se arruga

Answers

Answer: Las células de la lechuga son hipertónicas al agua fresca (el agua entra en las células y se hinchan) pero hipotónicas a una solución salina (el agua sale de la célula y se arruga)

Explanation:

La lechuga (Lactuca sativa) es una planta de la familia Asteraceae, que se cultiva sobre todo como verdura de hoja para su consumo, aunque también se utilizan las semillas y el tallo. La lechuga se utiliza especialmente para las ensaladas, aunque también se ve en otros tipos de comida, como sopas o sándwiches.

Cuando la hoja de lechuga se deja en agua, dicha agua entra en las células mediante ósmosis, el cual es es un mecanismo de difusión pasiva en donde el agua se transporta a través de una membrana semipermeable yendo desde la región de mayor concentración al de menor concentración.  Cuando se coloca una célula vegetal (en este caso de lechuga pero puede ser de cualquier vegetal) en una solución hipotónica, el agua se desplazará hacia las células vegetales y éstas se hincharán. Esto se debe a que una solución hipotónica es una solución que tiene una menor concentración de solutos en comparación con otra solución en el interior de la célula.

En el caso en el que se prepara una ensalada, las hojas de lechuga se arrugan porque al agregar sal, el medio se convierte en hipertónico y a través de ósmosis, el agua saldrá del interior de la célula y por ello, se arrugan. Hipertónico significa que el entorno exterior a la célula tiene una mayor concentración de solutos que la propia célula.  Además, las células de la lechuga están cubiertas por una capa impermeable y esto evita que el agua salga de la célula al medio exterior y que la sal entre desde ese medio.

Entonces, las células de la lechuga son hipertónicas al agua fresca pero hipotónicas a una solución salina (agua con sal).

Flowering Locus C (FLC) is a gene that is responsible for flowering in certain plants. FLC is expressed in new seedlings, which prevents flowering. Upon exposure to cold temperatures, FLC expression decreases and the plant flowers. FLC is regulated through epigenetic modifications. What type of epigenetic modifications are present in new seedlings and after cold exposure

Answers

Answer:

- New seedlings: histone acetylation

- After cold exposure: histone methylation

Explanation:

Vernalization is an adaptive mechanism whose objective is to ensure that flowering occurs only after winter (i.e., after cold conditions). In certain plants, this process (vernalization) suppresses the expression of genes that encode repressors of flowering. In Arabidopsis, vernalization is associated with histone modifications at FLC chromatin. The FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is a MADS-box gene that acts as a repressor of flowering in Arabidopsis. Epigenetic modifications control the expression of the FLC gene. The FLC gene is expressed at low temperatures due to histone acetylation at FLC chromatin, and thereby the expression of FLC mRNA transcripts ensures that the Arabidopsis plant cannot flower. Subsequently, as the Arabidopsis plant is exposed to cold, FLC is repressed by the accumulation of trimethylation on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27me3), thereby allowing it to flower when temperatures become warmer.

After fertilization, the successful development of a mature, full-term fetus depends on A. The release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by the developing placenta AND the production of estrogen and progesterone by the placental tissues B. the release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by the developing placenta C. maintenance of the corpus luteum for all 9 months D. all of these E. the production of estrogen and progesterone by the placental tissues

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is A (The release of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) by the developing placenta AND the production of estrogen and progesterone by the placental tissues).

Explanation:

The developing placenta release Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) during pregnancy. What this hormone does is tell the body (corpus luteum) to produce progesterone to maintain the pregnancy. The presence of Human chorionic gonadotropin is a sign of pregnancy, meaning successful fertilization had happened, and implantation of the embryo had occurred too, preventing another cycle of menstruation.

The successful development of a mature, full-term fetus also depends on estrogen which during pregnancy aids the formation of blood vessels and also aids fetal maturation. While progesterone is a hormone when released during pregnancy helps maintain a healthy pregnancy.
