Which of the following statements about blood pH is true?

A. Carbon dioxide is a buffer that helps the blood pH remain around 7.4.
B. Carbonic acid is a waste product that makes blood pH deviate from 7.4.
C. 7.4 is a neutral pH, and the whole body needs to remain neutral to maintain homeostasis.
D. At a pH too far from 7.4, enzymes in the blood will stop functioning properly.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. At a pH too far from 7.4, enzymes in the blood will stop functioning properly.

Explanation:

The pH of blood is regulated 7.35 and 7.45. pH shows acid-base balance in the body and maintains a healthy balance of acidity and alkalinity.

Balance of acid-base provides optimum condition to enzymes to perform proper function. As, enzymes required optimum pH range for functioning properly, pH too far from 7.4 can denature the enzymes. Enzymes will lose its shape and will not function properly at high pH.

Hence, the correct option is D.

Answer:

A.

Nutrients from fertilizers on the farm wash off into the lake and cause the green slimy algal bloom

Explanation:

This question describes a team of marine biologists, who observe an inland sea covered up with a green slime. Firstly, this green slime is the the visible form of the proliferated growth of algae, hence, causing what is referred to as ALGAL BLOOM.

Algal bloom is caused by EUTROPHICATION, which is the pollution of water bodies with nutrients from fertilizers e.g phosphate, nitrate etc which causes a rapid algae growth. The excessive nutrients causing this algal bloom appearing like a green slime comes from the fertilizers used by farmers practising large scale farming within that area.

When this fertilizer is applied on plants, it gets washed into the water body and its constituents e.g phosphorus, nitrogen etc. serves as source of nutrient for the growth of marine organisms (algae). Hence, they grow excessively and form a bloom that appears like a green slime on the lake.

Hence, the farming activities is releasing pollutants in form of chemical substances which serve as nutrients for the proliferated growth of algae.

Answer:

B.  Pesticides from the farm wash off into the lake, causing algae to die

Explanation:

Green slime algae is a type of algae which is found in the marine ecosystem. This algae is a source of food for aquatic animals. It requires nutrients for producing food in the process of photosynthesis. When the nutrients present in the fertilizers such as nitrates move from the farm into the nearby lakes, its population increases and more food is available for the marine animals and fishing is not possible. But this decrease occurs in population when the pesticides wash off into the lake so farming will be possible for the fisheries.

Which of the following aquatic ecosystems is likely to have both a littoral and benthic zone?

a Lake

b Open ocean

c Coral reef

d None of the above

Answers

Answer:

C. Coral reef

Explanation:

Coral reefs are both found in the littoral zone which is on the shore in a tidepool and in the benthic zone which is the low level of the ocean.

The aquatic ecosystems that is likely to have both a littoral and benthic zone is lake. The correct option is a.

What is littoral and benthic zone?

The benthic zone, like the ocean, is the lake floor, made up of accumulated sunken organic matter.

The littoral zone is the area adjacent to the shore where light can easily penetrate and aquatic plants thrive. The pelagic zone encompasses a large body of water.

The Benthic Zone consists of organic sediments and soil at the bottom of a pond or lake. This zone will expand as the body of water ages. It is regarded as the digestive system of a pond or lake.

The littoral zone is a pond or lake's down-sloping shelf. This is the area that extends from the high-water mark to the shore and into the area where sunlight penetrates to the sediments at the bottom of a body of water.

Thus, the correct option is a.

How much sperm does a man produce each day

Answers

Answer:

about 525 billion sperm cells

Explanation:

In fact, the average male will produce roughly 525 billion sperm cells over a lifetime and shed at least one billion of them per month. A healthy adult male can release between 40 million and 1.2 billion sperm cells in a single ejaculation.

Answer:

1,500

uring spermatogenesis, your testicles make several million sperm per day — about 1,500 per second. By the end of a full sperm production cycle, you can regenerate up to 8 billion sperm. This may seem like overkill, but you release anywhere from 20 to 300 million sperm cells in a single milliliter of semen.

It converts sugars into cellular energy without requiring much oxygen, but it doesn't provide nearly as much energy as a result of the process not using oxygen.

Answer:

1. Forms fewer ATP molecules and cellular respiration

Explanation:

Alcohol fermentation is usually done by yeast as us humans lack the genetic information to do it (however we can do lactic acid fermentation in low Oxygen level which produce Lactic acid, which is what hurts after a day or two of heavy playing or workout)

Alcohol Fermentation only produces two ATP which is significantly lower than what cellular respiration makes (scientists predict there to be about 38 ATP from per cycle of respiration)

The scientific method utilizes which of these 4 strategies?
A) Hypothesis, Descriptive, Analysis, Publication
B) Hypothesis, Design, Analysis, Appllication
C) Hypothesis, Design, Analysis, Publication
D) Hypothesis, Research, Analysis, Replication

Answers

Answer:

D) Hypothesis, Research, Analysis, Replication

Explanation:

The scientific method is a research method used to produce knowledge. It consists of systematic observations, measures, experimentation, analysis, and verification of a hypothesis. It is based on two aspects: reproducibility (the capability of reproducing the experiment in any other place by any researcher) and refutability (susceptibility to be refused).

There are different steps to follow in a scientific method:

Definition and problem statement. The question for which there is not an answer yet.Hypothesis formulation. A hypothesis is a scientific conjecture, not verified that requires corroboration. Data collection and analysis. This step involves testing the observations.ResultsVerification of hypothesis. This step involves the deriving of the working hypothesis.Conclusions and Discussion.

These steps also include previous knowledge about the study object. A question the investigator wants to answer. The goal, which is what the investigator wants to know. The hypothesis that the investigator makes in order to predict what is going to happen. The experiment is performed to answer the question. Conclusions where the hypothesis is rejected or accepted.

This scientific method needs to be replicable. Replication refers to the need of repeating a research study, under different situations, different subjects, and with different researchers, to determine the safety of the original findings and their possibility of generalizing them to other situations and participants.

Igneous rocks has been called the magmatic, are all rocks that are formed by the solidification of magma. However, igneous rocks are classified into two groups. First are the plutonic or intrusive igneous rocks that are the result of the solidification of magma within the lithosphere. Secondly, there are the volcanic or extrusive igneous rocks that are the result of the cooling of magma that occurs at the surface or a shallow depth.
