Answer:
When pollen from the pollen part of the flower (the anther) gets its way into the germination part (the stigma) of the SAME plant.
It's kinda weird because many plants have both "male" and "female" seexy bits on the same flower.
Explanation:
Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in gymnosperm-style plants).
There are two types of self-pollination: in autogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of the same flower; in geitonogamy, pollen is transferred from the pollen part (anther) of one flower to the germination part (stigma/ovule) of another flower on the same flowering plant.
Answer:
This is the pollination of flower by pollen grains from the same flower on the same plant.
Explanation: OR:
This is also when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower or at the OVULE.
Many plants that can be self pollinating can also be cross pollinating.
Examples of self pollinating plants are: wheat, tomatoes, barley, e.t.c.
This is also the transfer of pollen from the anther to the stigma of the same flower or the flower of the plant with the same clone.
Hope all these helps.

In the presence of saturating amounts of oxaloacetate, the activity of citrate synthase from pig heart tissue shows a sigmoid dependence on the concentration of acetyl‑CoA. When succinyl‑CoA is added, the curve shifts to the right and the sigmoid dependence is more pronounced.
Choose the statements that are reasonable explanations for the right-ward shift of the velocity curve caused by succinyl-CoA.
a. Succinyl-CoA competes with dissociation of CoA as a product of the reaction.
b. Succinyl-CoA binds covalently to the enzyme.
c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site.
d. Succinyl-CoA competes with acetyl-CoA for binding at the active site.
e. Succinyl-CoA competes with oxaloacetate for binding at the active site.
Answer:
c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site
Explanation:
The sigmoid saturation curve is a property of of allosteric enzymes which reflects the cooperaive interactions between the protein subunits in the enzymes.
Allosteric enzymes function through reversible, non-covalent binding of regulatory compounds called allosteric modulators.
Allosteric enzymes have different binding site for the substrate and for their allosteric modulator.
In the citric acid cycle, succinyl-CoA serves as as allosteric inhibitor of citrate synthase which catalyses the production of citrate from oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA.
From the given options:
a. Succinyl-CoA competes with dissociation of CoA as a product of the reaction is wrong because it has its own binding site as an allosteric modulator.
b. Succinyl-CoA binds covalently to the enzyme is wrong because allosteric enzymes functions through non-covalent interactions.
c. Succinyl-CoA binds at a regulatory site other than the active site is true because citrate synthase is an allosteric enzyme
d. Succinyl-CoA competes with acetyl-CoA for binding at the active site is wrong because acetyl-CoA binds to the active site while succinyl-Coa binds to the regulatory site.
e. Succinyl-CoA competes with oxaloacetate for binding at the active site is wrong because oxaloacetate binds to the active site while succinyl-Coa binds to the regulatory site.

How osmosis works in the three fluid compartments of the body
Answer:
Explanation:
In the body, water moves through semi-permeable membranes of cells and from one compartment of the body to another by a process called osmosis. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration, along an osmotic gradient across a semi-permeable membrane.
The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. eliminate waste products from the blood act as a reactant in carbohydrate storage catalyze chemical reactions maintain homeostasis maintain a neutral pH
Answer:
catalyze chemical reactions
Explanation:
An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).
Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.

Several statements related to the process of cellular respiration are listed. Classify each statement as true or false.
Answer:
option 1, 2, 4, and 5 are true while 3 is false.
Explanation:
statements are given below.
1) Anaerobic respiration occurs by either lactic acid or alcohol fermentation.
2) Glycolysis is the first step in anaerobic respiration only.
3) only anaerobic respiration produces a net gain of ATP.
4) anaerobic respiration occurs in the cells cytoplasm.
5) aerobic respiration always include the citric acid cycle.
Anaerobic respiration occurs by either lactic acid or alcohol fermentation and produces very low amount of ATP due to the absence of oxygen. Glycolysis refers to the breakdown of glucose molecule in pyruvate and ATP molecules. It only occurs in anaerobic respiration because it does not requires oxygen. Both aerobic and anaerobic respiration produces energy in the form of ATP. Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell while anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm. Citric acid cycle is main part of aerobic respiration.

Why was there not a significant difference in the reaction rate with 800 mg of substrate as compared to 400 m. of substrate? What would you need to add to see an increase in the reaction rate with 800 mg of substrate?
Answer:
A. Concentration of substrate can affect the rate of reaction by two condition given below-
1. At low concentration of substrate, there will be increase in the rate of reaction by increasing the concentration of substrate. There would be catalytic site of enzyme available to bind to substrate.
2. The enzyme becomes saturated with substrate as the substrate concentration increases. At a point when the rate of product formation now depends on the activity or the available active sites of the enzyme itself, so, increasing more substrate will not leads to any effect on the rate of the reaction to any significant level.
Thus, there was not a significant difference in the reaction rate with 800 mg of substrate as compared to 400 m as at 400 mg all the catalytic site or active site are bound already.
B. Increasing the enzyme concentration will lead to increase the rate of reaction at 800 mg as there will be more active sites to bound to substrate.

4. Receptors in her toe receive stimuli
3. The sensory neuron generates an impulse.
1. Interneurons relay the impulse to motor neurons in the spinal cord.
5. Motor neuron signal the leg muscles
2. She immediately moves her foot.
Explanation:
The reflex arc refers to an action mechanism that responds to different stimuli. It is an involuntary reaction involving different nervous vias. The reflex arc is composed of receptors, afferent nervous fibers, efferent nervous fibers, and effectors.
Receptors are located in nervous terminals and are widely distributed in the organism. Receptors are capable of receiving stimuli from different nature, and most of them are specialized in one kind of stimuli such as vision, audition, touch, among others. In the exposed example, these sensory receptors were located in the toe, and probably they were touch receptors.
When they receive the stimulus the sensory neuron transforms it into an excitatory nervous impulse that goes to the central nervous system along the afferent nerves. This stage is known as the afferent via, beginning with the environmental information received by sensory receptors, and ending in the arrival of the transcripted message to the central nervous system.
When the central nervous system receives the information, it processes it and sends an appropriate answer according to the stimulus. The message goes along the interneurons to the motor fibers, which are in charge of taking that answer to its destiny, the effectors. Effectors are usually muscles or glands, and they transform the received impulse into a motor answer that executes the reflex action. In the exposed example, the effector in the muscle. This stage is known as the efferent via, beginning in the central nervous system sending an answer impulse and ending in the effector (muscle) executing the answer.
Answer:
Receptors in her toe receive stimuli.
The sensory neuron generates an impulse.
Interneurons relay the impulse to motor neurons in the spinal cord.
Motor neurons signal the leg muscles.

Hemoglobin is the blood protein responsible for the transport of oxygen. Carbon monoxide disturbs oxygen transport by
Answer:
Answered below
Explanation:
Hemoglobin is found in the red blood cells and is responsible for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the various body cells.
Oxygen binds to hemoglobin because it has a high affinity for it. This aids its transportation. When it gets to the cells it unbinds and get transported into the cell for use in energy production.
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, dangerous gas which has more affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen. Therefore when carbon monoxide is inhaled, it quickly binds to hemoglobin, thereby displacing oxygen. It binds to hemoglobin for a longer period and due to this, the body does not get any oxygen and cells begin to die.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include dizziness, headaches, fatigue and coma.

Explain how conservation has saved the Bald Eagle (Site 1)
Answer:
Conservation allows the existence of trees essential for the reproduction of bald eagles.
Explanation:
As you may already know, environmental conservation is a term that represents the set of actions and activities that encourage the conscious and sustainable use of natural resources, allowing all environmental factors to be renewed and available in nature for many years.
One of the best consequences of conservation is the reduction of deforestation, which is very beneficial for the Bald Eagle to maintain its species. That's because this species of eagle keeps its eggs in nests raised in large trees. Without these trees, the bald eagle will not reproduce what will end up exterminating its species over time.

Answer:
False
Explanation:
The troposphere is regarded as the lowest layer of the atmosphere which is visible and about 10km from the earth surface. The stratosphere however is the region above the troposphere and below the mesosphere.
The troposphere contain about 10 percent of the ozone layer while the stratosphere contain 90 percent. The stratosphere is made up of ozone layers which helps in the absorption of the ultraviolet rays from the sun and converting to heat. This is why depletion of the ozone layer gives rise to global warming.

3. List the molarities at which water exited the potato strips. Why did water move out of the potato strips? Were these solutions hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic?
Answer:
The water came out of the strips of the potatoes because a process of balance and oxygen balance called osmosis occurs.
Explanation:
The potato was subjected to a hypertonic environment and it is considered hypotonic, that is why the water seeks to go out to the outside in order to generate that it finds a balance in relation to a solvent solvent.
The possibility of magnifying contaminating sequences present in a nucleic acid pool is a drawback associated with PCRs high level of sensitivity (i.e., potential for exponential amplification).
A. True
B. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The Polymerase Chain reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology to identify specific DNA fragments generally in a size range of 100 to 1000 base pairs (bp). PCR sensitivity refers to the potential of the PCR technique to specifically amplify the desired sequence in the sample. PCR is a highly sensitive (and also specific) method with values around 100% if the experimental conditions are proper. However, to reach these values, it is imperative to work in optimal conditions by eliminating contaminant factors in the sample which may alter PCR amplification.

4. If plant roots are exposed to air and sunlight for a few minutes, and then the plant is placed back in the soil, it will wilt before starting to recover. What is happening at the cellular/tissue level in the roots?
Answer:
Explanation:
If plant roots are exposed to air, particularly non woody plants that rely on water pressure to stay erect, they start to wilt because of the disruption between the balance of transpiration (loss of water through the stomata) and absorption of water by the roots.
Since the plant's root has been exposed, they are no longer able to absorb water, and then transpiration also occurs which leads to a faster loss of water causing the plants cells to become dehydrated and collapse leading to wilting of the plants.
But if water is provided immediately, they can recover

A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and a different type of salt is poured on each, one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is the dependent variable?
Answer:
The dependent variable is the amount of ice that melted away
Explanation:
In an experiment, the dependent variable is what is affected by/changed by the IV (which is the type of salt, in this experiment)
The type of salt will change how much ice melted away, which means that the amount of ice that is melted away will be the dependent variable.
