Brian's eighth grade biology class is conducting a scientific investigation to find out what types of rock the school is built on. The class goes out to collect rocks from an exposure at the edge of the school property. Which scientific process is the class involved in when they do this

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Gathering evidence.

Explanation:

Scientific evidence refers to the information obtained by research or observation.t This is the root of the scientific method because it's how an investigator evaluates different ideas, theories, or hypotheses. The mechanism of science involves explaining the phenomena we see in the world that match the data one has collected for the purpose. If one's theory doesn't match the evidence, then it needs to be revised. Therefore collecting evidence is a significant part of scientific investigation.

Answer:

Explanation:

Vaccines are penetrations into the body system that helps improve the immune system against specific diseases.

The vaccines act by imitating the disease causing organism i.e they resemble the disease causing organism this is because they have been made form strains of the weak or dead disease organism.

The body system is made to identify this toxins or disease organism as something strange that needs to be remove anytime it reoccurs in the cell when the vaccines are taken. Although the body sees vaccine as something harmful they do not actually cause the disease but are pointers to the disease causing organism.

In the lab on Trophic Interactions you were looking at behavior of mosquito larvae. The question being asked was: Does prey behavior change in the presence of a predator? What would be an appropriate null hypothesis for this experiment? Recall in Treatments 2 and 3, a predator was added to the mosquito tanks.

Answers

Answer:

Null hypothesis: the behavior of mosquito larvae doesn't change in the presence/absence of predators added to the tanks in Treatments 2 and 3.

Explanation:

In statistics, the null hypothesis states that there are no differences between the two variables tested in the experiment, while the alternative hypothesis uses the experimental data in order to reject the null hypothesis. In this case, the alternative hypothesis will use the data from treatments 2 and 3 to confirm that predators can modify the behavior of mosquito larvae.

In perspective, with Earth being 4,500,000,000 years old and humans being around 1,400,000 years; how long out of a 24 day time period have we as humans been here.

Answers

Answer:

Day time period have we as humans been here: 26 seconds

Explanation:

4,500,000,000 years = 1 day

1,400,000 years = X

X = 0.0003111  

1 day = 86,400 seconds

0.0003111 = X

X = 26 seconds

In term of the Earth in 24-hour clock, Homo sapiens appeared on our planet only in the last 26 seconds, it means that in geologic time, humans have existed for only a brief time period and thereby it is a relatively new species.

Answers

Answer:

C.  15%  15%  35%

Explanation:

This follows the rules of base pairing.  The amount of thymine (T) equals the amount of adenine (A), and the amount of guanine (G) equals the amount of cytosine (C).

Since thymine is equal to adenine and 35% of the bases is thymine, 35% of the bases is also adenine.  This gives you a total of 70%.

35% + 35% = 70%

Now you need to figure out how much cytosine and guanine are in the bases.  Since 70% of the bases are adenine and thymine, 30% will be cytosine and guanine.

100% - 70% = 30%

Since the amount of cytosine and guanine are equal, divide 30% by 2 to figure out how much each base takes of the total.

30/2 = 15%

Cytosine and guanine each take up 15% of the molecular bases.

After food has been mechanically digested, mixed with saliva, and a bolus has formed, it is swallowed. Swallowing moves the bolus from the mouth into the esophagus. Discuss the events that occur during swallowing. 2. Which portions of the pharynx does food pass through when swallowing

Answers

Answer:

This begins with the gradual breaking down of the food in the mouth, by grinding the food substances with the teeth this is mastication, and the secretion of saliva, which moisten the food, soften it so that the salivary amylase enzyme, carried out the mechanical digestion.

Swallowing is a wavelike muscular contraction which involve the contraction of the longitudinal and circular muscles of the oesophagus, which pushes the bolus down  to the stomach.

The food pass  Oropharynx. While the epiglottis prevents the bolus from entering the trachea.

This is followed by the rolling  up of the tongue, the pushing the broken down food now chyme towards the back of the mouth, pressing it against the soft palate. At this stage a bolus is formed.From here it is pushed into the throat,where it is pushed down the oesophagus by peristalsis.

Explain the plasma membrane in easy way.​

Answers

Answer:

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane (PM) or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space) which protects the cell from its environment.[1][2] The cell membrane consists of a lipid bilayer, including cholesterols (a lipid component) that sit between phospholipids to maintain their fluidity at various temperatures. The membrane also contains membrane proteins, including integral proteins that go across the membrane serving as membrane transporters, and peripheral proteins that loosely attach to the outer (peripheral) side of the cell membrane, acting as enzymes shaping the cell.[3] The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of cells and organelles. In this way, it is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules.[4] In addition, cell membranes are involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell adhesion, ion conductivity and cell signalling and serve as the attachment surface for several extracellular structures, including the cell wall, the carbohydrate layer called the glycocalyx, and the intracellular network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton. In the field of synthetic biology, cell membranes can be artificially reassembled.[

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most used animal model for genetic and biomedical studies. There are many advantages of using Drosophila as model, including that it is very inexpensive to handle, it is easy to culture, it has a short life cycle allowing to observe the changes in phenotype very quickly and its large number of offspring allows to include several repetitions per trait in a study. However, there are some weaknesses of using Drosophila to study human biology.

A bacterium synthesizes DNA from each replication fork at a rate of 1000 nucleotides per second. This bacterium completely replicates its circular chromosome by theta replication in 30 min. How many base pairs does the chromosome contain

Answers

Answer:

180,000 nucleotide pairs = 180 kilobase pair (kbp) =  0.18 Megabase pairs (Mbp)

Explanation:  

Synthesis rate = 1,000 nucleotides (nts) x second

1 minute = 60 seconds  

30 minutes = 60 x 30 = 1,800 seconds

>> 1,800 seconds x 1,000 nuleotides per second = 180,000 nts  

A typical bacterial genome contains approximately 5 Mbps of DNA that conforms a circular chromosome localized in the cytoplasm. In consequence, in this case the bacterial genome is small (0.18 Mbp).

DNA replication is a process in which the fragment gets replicated to form two indistinguishable replicas of itself. It is vital for the growth and passing of hereditary information to the newly produced daughter cells.

180,000 nucleotide pairs are formed in the replicating bacteria.

This can be calculated by:

[tex]\text{Synthesis rate} & = 1,000 \;\text{nucleotides (nts)} \times \text{ second}[/tex]

We know that 1 minute = 60 seconds

So, 30 minutes = 60 x 30 = 1,800 seconds

[tex]\text{1,800 seconds} \times \text{ 1,000 nucleotide per second} & = 180,000 \;\text{nts}[/tex]

The bacterial genome thus produced will have 180,000 nucleotide pairs or 180 kilo-base pairs (kbp) or 0.18 Megabase pairs (Mbp) in the chromosome.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option A, that is, light intensity and direction.

Explanation:

A photoreceptive organelle witnessed in the motile or flagellated cells of unicellular photosynthetic species like euglenoids and green algae is known as the stigma or the eyespot apparatus. It permits the cells of the organism to detect the intensity and direction of the light and react towards it.  

This assists the organisms to either swim away from the light known as negative phototaxis, or to swim towards it known as positive phototaxis. The eyespots are the basic and the most typical eyes witnessed in nature. The eyespots comprise bright areas or orange and red granules of pigment and photoreceptors.

The statement 'a chain of amino acids folded and twisted into a molecule' describes the structure of albumin (Option B).

Proteins are macromolecules composed of a long sequential chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.

All proteins must be twisted and folded by a cellular mechanism called protein folding, which becomes an inactive polypeptide chain into a functionally active protein.

Protein folding modifies the tridimensional (3D) conformation of a protein in order to become it into a biologically active molecule that performs specific functions (e.g., an enzyme with catalytic functions).

In conclusion, the statement 'a chain of amino acids folded and twisted into a molecule' describes the structure of albumin (Option B).
