We can also apply the equation for residence time to a single component of a fluid, such as carbon dioxide (CO2). Assume that the residence time of CO2 in the atmosphere is six years and the mass of CO2 in the atmosphere is 3 × 1015 kilograms. If these estimates are correct, what is the mass flow rate of CO2 into and out of the atmosphere? Assume the atmosphere is at steady state. Write your answer in scientific notation, and be sure to include the correct units.
Answer:
[tex]f=5*10^1^4kg/year[/tex]
Explanation:
[tex]T=m/f\\f=m/T\\f=\frac{3*10^1^5kg}{6 years}[/tex]
The mass flow rate of CO2 into and out of the atmosphere is [tex]f = 5 * 10^{14} kg/ year[/tex]
What is the method ?
[tex]T = m/f[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]f = m/ t[/tex]
[tex]f=3 * 10^{15} / 6 years[/tex]
So, the correct answer is : [tex]f = 5 * 10^{14} kg/ year[/tex]

In Gregor Mendel's work with pea plants, he found that when a tall pea plant, with genes TT, was crossed with a short pea plant, with genes tt, that _____ % of the first generation of offspring plants were _____.
Answer:
In Gregor Mendel's work with pea plants, he found that when a tall pea plant, with genes TT, was crossed with a short pea plant, with genes tt, that _100_ % of the first generation of offspring plants were tall pea plant_.
Explanation:
After crossing the two types of plants, Mendel observed that among the F1 there were only tall variants, while the other variant (short) disappeared. Mendel named "dominant" the expressed variant. Mendel then let these new plants auto pollinate and observed the results in the second generation, F2. He saw that the short variant that had previously disappeared, reappeared again. Both tall and short plants were present in the F2. Mendel named "recessive" the second alternative variant.
Mendel explained his results by arguing that discrete factors were responsible for these phenotypes. These factors should have been present in the F1 in pairs. One of them came from one parental plant, and the other factor came from the other plant. These factors then separated again when sex cells were produced, giving two types of gametes, each with only one factor.
Mendel concluded that each plant had a pair of factors -which he named alleles-, and that each factor coded for one trait -tall and short-. He thought that these factors -T and t- separate -segregate- during gamete formation. This conclusion is known as the segregation principle (First Mendels´ Low).

Add the following, Identify the variants within your population, Explain how the variation in your population was generated, Describe your organism, Explain qhy the population is evolving and make a prediction about your population after observing 10 generation of offspring.
Answer:
A yellow lizard population living on an island with no predatorsA hawk was introduced to the habitat and starts preying on the yellow lizard because it is easier to see from the air Some of the lizards mutate their color from yellow to greyish brown so they can camouflageYellow individuals keep being hunted, while brown individuals get to survive The following generations of lizards will have a higher proportion of greyish brown individuals and just a few yellow individuals. Eventually, almost all of the lizards will be greyish brown individuals.Explanation:
The scenario is the following.
A population of yellow lizards lives on an island where there is no natural predator. Males of the species use the yellow color to attract females in reproductive seasons. The brighter the males are, the better their genetic quality is. Females are also yellow, but not as bright as males.
A new hawk species was introduced into the island to control some farm pests. But this hawk species prefer to feed on the lizards. The yellow color of these animals contrasts with the dark background and can be easily seen from the air. So the lizard population suffers from significant predation affecting its size sharply.
Some of the lizards then suffer from a mutation and change their color from yellow to greyish brown, which turns to be better to camouflage on the rocks and get to survive. Individuals with greyish brown color get to reproduce at a higher rate than yellow individuals, who keep being hunted by the hawk.
Eventually, after many generations, the yellow individuals decrease to near zero in the population, while greyish brown individuals increase significantly, with males still being brighter than females.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Natural selection is an evolutive force that can act favoring an allele or against it, according to how it affects the fitness of individuals. Natural selection selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.
When many organisms in a population sharing the same trait die, it is because they did not have good fitness, so they were not adapted to the environment and its pressures. The alleles coding for that trait were not good for the fitness of the animals, so they do not get to survive.
These individuals die before reproducing, so they could not transfer their genetic charge to the following generation. Eventually, the alleles coding for the trait will decrease in the population, probably near zero. Natural selection is acting against this phenotype. Other alleles will be beneficiated, and their frequency in the population will increase.
This change in alleles frequency is what we call adaptation.
Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype. Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.
In many cases, adaptations can be correlated to environmental factors or selective pressures applied by other organisms or habitats.
Let us remember that a mutation is a change or alteration in DNI sequences that introduce new variants. Many of these are eliminated, but some of them might succeed and be incorporated into each individual. These mutations are the ones that have been selected by natural selection.
So, in the exposed example, we are focussing on the lizards population.
• The selective pressure or modeling environmental factor is predation by the introduced hawk.
• The lizards´ response to predation is the survival of only those that carry mutations ⇒ greyish brown color
• Natural selection benefits these mutations.
• Greyish brown lizards survive and increase their fitness.
What is the relationship between coronary artery disease and a heart attack?
A. Coronary artery disease is a symptom of heart attacks.
B. Heart attacks reduce blood flow to the heart and cause coronary artery disease.
C. Coronary artery disease can reduce blood flow to the heart and cause heart attacks.
D. Heart attacks occur when coronary artery disease is treated.
C) Coronary artery disease can reduce blood flow to the heart and cause heart attacks
CAD (or atherosclerosis) affects the vessels that supply blood to the heart muscle. It is caused by deposits of calcium, fat, cholesterol and fibrous tissues, which makes the lumen of arteries narrower. And due to inadequate supply of blood, the heart muscles get damaged. This can lead to a heart attack!

Mutations in which of the following cells would get passed on to the next generation?
I. sperm
II. Skin cell
III. Egg
IV. Neuron
A. II, III, and IV
B. III only
C.I and III
D. I, III, and IV
Answer:
C. I and III
Explanation:
A mutation needs to occur in a gamete cell in order to be passed down to the next generation.
If it occurs in a somatic (body) cell, the mutation will only be present in that organism.
On the other hand, in a gamete cell, the mutation will pass down because gamete cells are directly involved in the genetic makeup of the offspring.
So, since sperm and egg cells are gametes, mutations in those cells would get passed on.
The correct answer is C. I and III

What is photosynthesis????
Explanation:
The process of green plants make their own food by present sunlight is called photo synthesis
I don't need follow or thanks but please subscribe to my mom channel
Hey there!
Photosynthesis is the reaction that converts light energy to chemical energy in sugar and carbohydrates. Humans can't eat sunlight, so we eat plants. Plants convert the energy in the sunlight into chemical energy using chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a molecule produced by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, which aids in the conversion of light energy into chemical bonds. It is the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of higher plants. They are a part of our ecosystem, and they are lower on the food chain.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day! :)

3.Each onion plant begins as a single cell containing 16 chromosomes. How many chromosomes are present in each of the cells that you observed
Answer:
In somatic cells, 16 chromosomes are present whereas in sex cells, there is 8 chromosomes.
Explanation:
In the somatic cells, the replication of chromosomes occur and after the replication is completed, the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells having double number of chromosome by each daughter cell i.e. 16 chromosomes while on the other hand, in sex cells, first the parent cell divides into two daughter cells and after sometime, these daughter cells are again divided having total four daughter cells each receives half number of chromosomes i.e. 8 chromosomes.

no copied answer
Answer:
Answer to the following question is as follows.
Explanation:
Budding is indeed an asexual reproduction method in which an individual emerges from a reproductive anatomical site of the parent organism. During budding, a genetically identical new creature develops connected to the parent Hydra's body before eventually separating. A bud emerges as an extension of recurrent cellular division at one specific location during the budding process.

5. Shawn has a hypothesis that fungicides harm bee development. Using what you now know, describe an experiment to test Shawn’s hypothesis. Be sure your response includes what data should be collected and how you would collect it.
Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Yes, the fungicides harm bee development by causing changes in behavior, immune health, and reproduction etc. For verifying this hypothesis, we have to take two environments, in one environment fungicides are applied to the plants while on the other environment, there is no fungicide applied to the plants. Th result shows that the bees are affected and act abnormal where fungicides are applied as compared to those bees which are normal in behaviour and other features.
