Question 6(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Which of the following is a common source of groundwater pollution?

Oil slicks
Erosion along riverbanks
Spraying crop fields with pesticides
Throwing used beverage containers into a lake

Answers

Answer 1

The common source of groundwater pollution is done by spraying crop fields with pesticides.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The ground water pollution is the mixing up of pollutant in the water which lies below the ground and is potable in nature. This pollution has the commonest source of pollutant by the pesticides.

The crop fields when sprayed for pests with pesticides in order to kill the pests on crop, contaminates the crop as well as the ground at the same time. These are its disadvantages.

The ground being contaminated on ploughing or by leaching gets the pollutant into the water table. Plant on the other hand on decaying leaves the pesticide into the ground which in turns goes into the under ground water.

Answer 2

Spraying crop fields with pesticides is the common source of groundwater pollution.

Explanation:

Groundwater is naturally found in aquifers or geological water structures which stores water deep in the ground.

The most common contaminant of groundwater is spillage and seepage of excessive chemicals from industries and agriculture.

Agriculture which is done in large scale in many parts of the world implies the use of a large number of chemicals in the form of pesticides, weedicides, fertilizers, growth promoters etc. these are either sprayed as foliage sprays or added to the ground directly for the roots to absorb.

The excess chemicals applied to enter the ground surface and mix with the surface water and enter into the ground and mix with the groundwater. Thus the entire natural aquifer in that area becomes easily contaminated with chemicals.

It is important for the daughter cells to have a full set of chromosomes so that the chromosome number can be maintained in each cell type of the body of an organism.

If the chromosome number is not same in each cell, then genetic stability will not be achieved by the cells of the body. The chromosome number will not be able to be maintained in the organism's body.

What is the function of the structure identified by the red arrow?

O Food capture
O Mobility
DNA transfer
O Protection

Answers

Answer:

Protection

Explanation:

It looks like that the picture depicts bacterial cells forming a colony. The structure shown by the red arrow is a cell membrane. The principle function of the cell membrane is to protect the cell internal environment with respect to changes in the external environment. This is also called homeostasis.

For food capturing and mobility, the structure is not matching because there should be filaments or pseudopodia. Likewise, for DNA transfer, pili are required and the shown structure doesn't match that too.

Answer: Answer is D. Protection

Explanation: The arrow is pointing at the cell membrane, the cell membrane controls what is going in and out of the cell, it can also perform as a defensive barrier against things that are not good for the bacteria, therefore it is protection. Have a Good Day :)

Explanation:

Normally, complementary DNA strand obeys Chargaff's rule of base-pairing in  1: 1 ratio, in a scenario with a template strand where a purine pairs with a pyrimidine via hydrogen bonds to create a novel 3-dimensional (3D) DNA structure.

Pyrimidines are normally Cytosine, C and Thymine, T; while Purines are Guanine, G and Adenine, A. So through complementarity, a purine, G must bind a pyrimidine, C and same case for A to T.

What are the macromolecules DNA and RNA referred to as?

Answers

Answer:

Nucleic Acids

Explanation:

Between carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, DNA and RNA molecules most accurately fall under the macromolecular category of nucleic acids.

DNA and RNA are referred to as nucleic acids. DNA holds genetic information and controls cellular activities, while RNA is involved in protein synthesis. Both play critical roles in the continuity of life.

Nucleic acids are critical for the continuity of life because they carry a cell's genetic blueprint and instructions for cellular functioning.

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid and is the genetic material found in all living organisms.RNA stands for ribonucleic acid and is primarily involved in protein synthesis.DNA has a double-helix structure, which is essential in storing and transmitting genetic information.Nucleic acids are composed of monomers called nucleotides, which consist of a phosphate group, a sugar, and a nitrogenous base.DNA controls cellular activities by regulating genes, while RNA serves as an intermediary in the synthesis of proteins based on DNA's instructions.

What does a model of the rock cycle show?

a. the amount of earths carbon cannot be determined

b. the amount of earths carbon increases

c. the amount of earths carbon decreases

d. the amount of earths carbon is constant

Answers

Answer:

I believe it’s “B”

Explanation:

Answer:

d. the amount of earths carbon is constant

Explanation:

Rock cycle is the name given to the natural process of transformation of the roots, capable of changing their moneralic composition. This cycle is proof that the terrestrial lithosphere has a dynamic character, which is the result of the actions of several endogenous and exogenous factors on the terrestrial surface. This cycle also allows us to understand how the amount of carbon in the earth is constant, allowing the transformation of the rocks in an evident way. It is through this process that we perceive the different types of rock that exist on the planet, if this process did not happen, the lithosphere would be composed only of magmatic rock.

how much thermal energy needs to be added to 0.455 kg of benzene to heat it from 30*c to 50*c

Answers

15834 joules is the thermal energy required.

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of benzene= 1.74 J/gK or 1740 J/Kg K

mass of benzene = 0.455 kg

temperature change= 50-30

                                    =  20 degrees

From the formula:

Specific heat capacity= thermal energy/ (mass)*(temperature change)

thermal energy=  0.455* 1740*20  ( speicfic heat of benzene is converted        

                                                                 to joules per gram)

                              = 15834 joules

                             

Why do predictions by the European weather model sometimes differ from predictions made by the American weather model?(1 point)

The two models assimilate data differently using different equations.

The two models use different types of data measurements.

The two models are designed to model different types of weather.

The two models focus on different parts of the world.

Answers

Answer:

The two models assimilate data differently using different equations.

Explanation:

The weather models are based on mathematical equations in which the input variables are weather observations such as temperature, pressure, wind, moisture, etc that are obtained from the weather satellites and ground sensors. Using a  process known as data assimilation, these weather observations are used to initialize numerical forecast models by combining the observations with prior forecasts.

The two global weather models, the European (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecast) and the American (National Weather Service’s Global Forecast System) models provide predictions all over the world.  The mesoscale models or fine scale models can predict really small weather observations on more specific regions.

The atmosphere is divided into a three-dimensional grid in each model. At each grid point, the assimilated data is given and the mathematical equations are applied which are then stepped forward in time. The different weather models assimilate data differently using different equations and the outputs obtained over many time steps give the future weather.

What is the density of a liquid that has a volume of 20 mL and a mass of 3 g?

Answers

The density of liquid is 0.15 [tex]\dfrac{g}{ml}[/tex] .

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of a liquid(V) = 20ml and

Mass of a liquid(M) = 3g

To find, the density of a liquid( [tex]\rho[/tex] ) = ?

We know that,

Density([tex]\rho[/tex] ) = [tex]\dfrac{Mass(M)}{Volume(V)}[/tex]

Density( [tex]\rho[/tex] )= [tex]\dfrac{3}{20}[/tex]

Density( [tex]\rho[/tex] )= [tex]0.15\dfrac{g}{ml}[/tex]

Thus, the density of liquid is [tex]0.15\dfrac{g}{ml}.[/tex]

Although fertilizers have been very important in increasing the food supply, there have
also been negative effects from the overuse of fertilizers. How can the overuse of fertilizers
kill crop plants?
A. It can cause salts to build up in
the soil.
B. It can cause roots to absorb too much nitrogen.
C. It can cause transpiration rates to increase.
D. It can cause soil to erode at a
faster rate.

Answers

B. It can cause the roots to absorb too much nitrogen.

Final answer:

Overuse of fertilizers leads to the buildup of salts in the soil, causing dehydration of plant cells and potential death of root tips, which can ultimately kill crop plants by preventing water absorption.

Explanation:

The overuse of fertilizers can kill crop plants primarily because it causes salts to build up in the soil, leading to a condition known as salinization. This buildup of salts occurs because fertilizers are composed of various plant nutrients that, much like table salt, are also salts. These salts begin to diffuse and move away from where they are applied, diluting and spreading the fertilizer. If a high concentration of fertilizer is applied, then more water is drawn from plant roots and soil, leading to dehydration and collapse of plant cells. In cases of limited soil moisture, the damage to the plant can be severe, with water being drawn out of the roots to the point where they cannot recover. Excessively high levels of salt in the soil can prevent plant roots from absorbing water efficiently, potentially causing the root tips to die.

2.The new codon that you answered for #1 codes for which amino acid? Only give the three letter prefix for your answer.

3.This type of mutation is called a __________ mutation when there is a simple change in one base of the gene sequence.

Ex:

Original:
The fat cat ate the wee rat.

Mutation:
The fat hat ate the wee rat.

4.Did this mutation have an effect on the outcome compared to the normal sequence?

Answers

A change in one base of the gene sequence is known as point mutation.

Explanation:

Question 2 is incomplete.

3. A mutation that only affects a single nucleotide of nucleic acid is known as Point Mutation.

In Point mutations there is substitution of one base for another.

Example:                TAT TGG CTA            

                               TAC TGG CTA

The  TAT changes to TAC which shows point mutation.

4. Yes. The point mutation have an effect on the outcome compared to the normal sequence.

When there is a change in one base of the gene it results into causing disease such as cancer, sickle cell anemia.

Final answer:

A silent mutation is a mutation where the new codon codes for the same amino acid as the original codon. A point mutation is a type of mutation that involves a simple change in one base of the gene sequence. The mutation in the given sequence is a point mutation where the base 'c' in the codon 'cat' was changed to 'h' in the codon 'hat'. The effect of this mutation on the outcome depends on the context and purpose of the sequence.

Explanation:

The new codon that codes for the same amino acid as the original codon is called a silent mutation. For example, if the original codon is AAA for lysine, and it is mutated to AGA for arginine, both amino acids are basic amino acids and the protein may not be affected. It is important to note that a change in the third base of the codon, called the wobble base, may still permit the correct incorporation of the same amino acid into the protein.

A point mutation is a type of mutation that involves a simple change in one base of the gene sequence. This can include silent mutations, missense mutations (where the codon codes for a different amino acid), or nonsense mutations (where the codon becomes a stop codon).

Based on the given information, the mutation in the sequence "The fat hat ate the wee rat" compared to the normal sequence "The fat cat ate the wee rat" is a point mutation where the base "c" in the codon "cat" was changed to "h" in the codon "hat".

Postzygotic Isolation: A hybrid zygote of two species, Two species of plants reproduce

Explanation:

Prezygotic isolation includes mechanisms that do not allow breeding of organisms. Postzygotic isolation includes mechanisms that cause isolation of species after fertilization.

This is the answer that I got when I submitted it on Edmentum and it said I was correct.

Prezygotic Isolation: Two Species of Guppies, Brown Bears and Polar Bears, Two Closely Related Species of frogs.

Postzygotic Isolation: A hybrid zygote of two species, Two species of plants reproduce.

What is Prezygotic isolation?

Prezygotic isolation may be defined as a mechanism of reproductive isolation through which two individuals of the same species are isolated from one another prior to mating and fertilization.

Prezygotic isolation prevents the formation of a zygote. It provides the chances for natural selection.

Postzygotic isolation may be defined as a mechanism of reproductive isolation through which two individuals of the same species are isolated from one another after the event of mating and fertilization.

Therefore, it is well described above.

What are the functions of the structures labeled X?

Answers

Final answer:

The structures labeled X likely represent organelles, specifically the Golgi apparatus which modifies and packages proteins, and the nucleus which controls cellular activities and contains genetic material.

Explanation:

The structures labeled X are likely referring to specific organelles found within a cell, such as the Golgi apparatus and the nucleus. The Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or delivery to other parts of the cell. The nucleus serves as the control center of the cell, housing most of the cell's genetic material and coordinating activities like growth, metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell division (mitosis).

Organelles are specialized structures within cells, each performing distinct functions necessary for cell survival and function. The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying and sorting proteins and lipids, while the nucleus houses the cell's DNA and coordinates crucial activities.

The structures labeled X in the provided context are likely to be organelles within a cell. Organelles are specialized structures that perform distinct functions necessary for the cell to live and function properly. For example, the Golgi apparatus is an organelle involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids for secretion or for use within the cell. The nucleus is another organelle that acts as the control center of the cell, housing the cell's DNA and being responsible for coordinating activities such as growth, metabolism, protein synthesis, and cell division (mitosis).

Organelles work together to ensure that cells can perform all necessary functions to survive and contribute to the larger organism. They are often compared to tiny organs within a cell, hence the name 'organelle.' Each organelle has a unique structure that enables it to execute its specific function effectively, demonstrating the relationship between structure and function at a cellular level.

Heterozygous organisms always show the recessive traits.

Heterozygous organisms have very low genetic diversity.

Answers

Answer:

the first one is correct

Explanation:

Final answer:

Heterozygous organisms can show either the dominant or the recessive trait, due to the Law of Dominance, which states that the dominant allele masks the effect of the recessive allele in heterozygous individuals.

Explanation:

The statement that is true about heterozygous organisms from the given statements is that they can show either the dominant or the recessive trait. This is due to the Law of Dominance, which states that in a heterozygote with one dominant and one recessive allele, the dominant trait is expressed in the phenotype. Thus, heterozygous organisms (Tt) will exhibit the same phenotype as homozygous dominant organisms (TT), while the recessive trait (tt) is only expressed in homozygous recessive individuals.

What happens to contraction of a muscle cell if some of the Ca2+ that was released during a contraction is still in the cytoplasm (sarcoplasm) when the next stimulus arrives? Group of answer choices The muscle contracts with the same tension generated as during the first contraction, because muscles contract in an all-or-none fashion. The muscle contracts with the same tension generated as during the first contraction, because the number of cross-bridges formed is always the same during a contraction. The muscle contracts with greater tension generated because there will be more Ca2+ in the sarcoplasm after the second stimulation, which will bind to more troponin molecules. The muscle contracts with greater tension generated because more troponin molecules bound means greater myosin-binding sites (active sites) are revealed on the actin, leading to a larger number of cross-bridges formed.
