Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of haploid gametes through fertilization to create a diploid zygote.
Sexual reproduction relies on the union of two specialized cells, known as gametes, through a process called fertilization to form a single, unique cell known as a zygote. Gametes are haploid cells that contain one set of chromosomes each, while a zygote is a diploid cell with two sets of chromosomes.

Identify what happens to light in this model of the greenhouse effect.
Answer:
The greenhouse effect is a natural process which increases the temperature of the Earth. The greenhouse effect is caused by the absorption by the surface of the Earth and re-absorption by the atmosphere of the greenhouse gases (CH₄, CO₂, NO, CFCs ) in the environment.
This is caused when solar radiation reaches Earth- some of the energy is absorbed by the land and water while the rest of the energy is reflected back into space. Now the absorbed heat radiate from earths surface is trapped by the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which causes the warming of the Earth. But due to the increase in greenhouse gases extra heat is absorbed which leads to Global warming.

In what type of relationship do fig trees and fig wasps engage
Answer: Symbiotic Relationship
Both fig trees and fig wasps are important for each others survival.
Explanation: The fig provides a joke for the wasps and the wasps provide pollen that the fig needs for the fruit to ripen.
It basically begins when a female fig wasp enters the fig and lays eggs ,they pollinate the fig with pollen that they had collected in their pouches after mating ,when the wasp enters the fig its wings and parts of antennae may get broken because of the small opening in the fruit ,the wasp completes it's task and never leave the fruit after.
Fig trees and fig wasps have a mutualistic symbiotic relationship, where both species benefit from the interaction, with the wasps pollinating the trees while also laying their eggs, continuing their lifecycle.
Figs and fig wasps engage in a form of symbiotic relationship known as mutualism. In this relationship, both the fig tree and the fig wasp benefit from their interaction. The female fig wasp enters the syconium, or the inside-out inflorescence of the fig, where her wings are torn off, and she deposits her eggs. Through this process, she also inadvertently pollinates the fig's flowers using the pollen she carries from another fig tree. This results in the production of seeds for the fig tree and creates a nursery for the next generation of wasps. Eventually, the fig wasp offspring will hatch, with females collecting pollen before leaving to find a new fig to continue the cycle.
The relationship between figs and fig wasps is intricate and vital for the survival of both species. While some flowers are pollinated and develop into fig fruit, others serve as a development ground for new fig wasps. It is a highly specialized form of mutualism, with each species being indispensable to the other's lifecycle.
To contrast this relationship with another type, the text describes the southern masked-weaver bird nesting in a tree as commensalism, where the bird benefits and the tree is neither harmed nor benefited. This illustrates the diversity of species interactions in nature, ranging from mutualistic to commensal relationships.

A person who recives the same version of a gene from each parent is said to be. For that gene
Answer:
A person who receives the same version of a gene from each parent is said to be homozygous for that gene.
Explanation:
Based on gene pairs two terms are used to describe the gene variation. Homozygous gene are those who have identical alleles and result in same phenotype. While heterozygous genes have different alleles for the same gene and results in a mixed phenotype that depends on dominant trait. In the given example if a person receives same genes from parents he will be called homozygous for that gene.

Which sequence shows the correct path of blood flow between the heart and lungs?
right ventricle, lungs, left atrium
right atrium, lungs, right ventricle
left atrium, lungs, left ventricle
left ventricle, lungs, right atrium
Answer:
Right ventricle, lungs, left atrium
Explanation:
The pathway of blood in the heart and lungs follows this order:
The body -> Superior and inferior vena cava -> Right atrium -> tricuspid valve-> right ventricle-> pulmonary semilunar valve -> pulmonary artery -> lungs-> pulmonary vein -> left atrium-> bicuspid valve -> left ventricle- aortic valve-> Aorta-> the body
So not counting the valves and the vessels, the best answer would be the first option.
It would also be good to remember that unoxygenated blood starts in the right side of the heart and the oxygenated blood starts in the left side of the heart.
Ventricles pump blood and atria receives blood. The right atrium receives blood from the lungs, while the left atrium receives blood from the body. The left ventricle pumps blood towards the body, while the right ventricle pumps blood towards the lungs.
A liver cell requires energy to move vitamins from an area of low concentration,across the cell membrane,to an area of high concentration. This process used by the liver cell is called
Answer:
Active Transport
Explanation:
Active transport is the process of transport of substances from region of their lower to that of higher concentration. Since the transport occurs against the concentration gradient, it is energy requiring process and needs input of energy to occur.
In given example, liver cells transports vitamins against the concentration gradient in energy dependent manner. Therefore, it is an example of "active transport".

What would you need to do to find an object’s mass and velocity? What tools would you use?
The dissolved oxygen in a reservoir was monitored for one year. Based on this data, what might greatly reduce the available dissolved oxygen in an aquatic habitat?
A) thermal pollution
B) fertilizer run-off
C) increased water turbidity
D) decrease in pH due to acid rain
Answer:
I would say A
Explanation:
Judging from the graph, you can tell that the dissolved oxygen line (the black one) is lowest during July and some parts of September ( or between those two). At the same time, you can see the blue line - for water temparature - is highest; which means that an increase in temperature ( or thermal energy) results in lower dissolved oxygen. The only answer choice that relates to higher temperatures is A, thermal pollution which is just a result of companies or people using natural bodies of water for industrial purposes.

growth?
A. Point D
B. Point
C. Point A
D. Point B
Answer: Point A
Since it says the "beginning" of an exponential growth period, I guess Point A would be the beginning.
Point B is during, and Point C is after and Point D looks like it is at carrying capacity.
Answer:
Point A
Explanation:
The s shape curve beginning represents the point A. The point A in the graph shows the beginning of a period of exponential growth.
The Point B is near to point A whereas point c is after point B. The point D represents the carrying capacity. The carrying capacity is the maximum size of population that can be sustained by environment. Thus, the point A is representing exponential growth beginning.

Population control factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are
Answer: Density -dependent factors.
Explanation:Density is defined as the mass of an object divided by its volume. Density can be used as a conversion factor between mass and volume.
Density-dependent factors are population control elements whose effects increase with population size, such as food scarcity and disease spread. Density-independent factors affect populations regardless of size, like natural disasters. Conservation biologists study these to manage populations sustainably.
Explanation:Population control factors whose effects increase as the size of the population increases are known as density-dependent factors. These factors include competition for resources like food and space, predation, disease, and stress from overcrowding, which can all lead to higher mortality rates or lower birth rates as the population density rises. In contrast, density-independent factors affect populations regardless of their size and include events such as natural disasters or climate changes.
The effect of density-dependent factors is more pronounced in larger populations; as the population grows, these factors can serve as limiting elements to slow down or decrease the population size. For example, with the human population's continuous growth, increased competition for finite resources such as food, clean water, and livable space becomes more significant. Such scarcity can result in social issues like malnourishment, spread of infectious diseases, and conflict.
Understanding these factors is crucial for conservation biologists and wildlife managers to prevent extinction or overpopulation and to manage population growth sustainably. Particularly for humans, other considerations like migration, public health advancements, and changes in lifestyle due to technological developments also play significant roles in population dynamics.
Why are the seasons opposite in the northern and Southern Hemispheres
Answer:
throughout the year, the earth tilts. This causes the north pole to be the closest to the sun half the year and the south pole to be the closest to the sun the other half.
Explanation:
Great question!
That is because they are on opposite sides of our planet. If one side is illuminated, then the other side must be shadowed. So the Earth alternates between
Northern hemisphere tilted toward the Sun, southern hemisphere tilted away from the Sun
and
Northern hemisphere tilted away from the Sun, southern hemisphere tilted toward the Sun
Which will cause a decrease in gas pressure in a closed container?
A reducing the volume
B adding more gas
c lowering the temperature
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Reducing more volume will mean that the density of gas is higher and therefore it would be at higher pressure. Adding more gas would have the same effect.
Lowering the temperature would mean that the molecules would be moving slower and therefore decreasing pressure
What happens when an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient are applying opposite forces to active transport?
Answer:
In a cell, there are two kinds of gradients found, that is, chemical and electrical. The electrical gradient is produced by the net charge of negative and positive charges found across the membrane. The chemical gradient is produced by the concentration of ions across the membrane. In combination, it is called the electrochemical gradient, which in general function in reverse directions.
The procedure where pumping of ions takes place across the membrane via ion pumps against the electrochemical gradient is known as the active transport. This mode of transport sustains the balance of ions across the membranes and is dependent upon energy. The ATP is provided by the metabolic activities of the cell.
Answer:
They negate each other.
Explanation:
The combined effects of electrical and chemical gradients lead to the formation of an electrochemical gradient. This simply means that both an electrical gradient and a chemical gradient can have an effect on the movement of substances, and that their effects may combine (the chemical and electrical gradients encourage movement in the same direction), or they may negate (one gradient opposes another).

B- plant like protists are all unicellular.
C- plant like protists are all eukaryotes.
D- plant like protists are all heterotrophic.
Answer:
C-plant like protist are all eukaryotic
Explanation:
Hope it helped!
Plant-like protists are all eukaryotes. They are called algae and include both unicellular and multicellular organisms. These protists perform photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll but are not exclusively green or heterotrophic. Option C is correct.
Plant-like protists are called algae and include a diverse group of organisms such as single-celled diatoms and multicellular seaweeds. They are all eukaryotes, meaning they have a defined nucleus. These protists contain chlorophyll and perform photosynthesis, similar to plants, but they do not fit all the criteria to be classified as plants.While some plant-like protists are green due to chlorophyll, not all of them are exclusively green, and they can also be unicellular (like diatoms) or multicellular (like seaweeds). Additionally, plant-like protists are generally autotrophic, making their own food through photosynthesis, unlike heterotrophs that acquire food from external sources.Mafic lava tends to have low silica content. Based on this, which of the following statements about mafic lava is most likely true?
A. It contains fewer volatile gases.
B. It has higher viscosity.
C. It flows slowly.
D. It contains more volatile gases.
Answer:
A. It contains fewer volatile gases.
Explanation:
Mafic lava have a composition of about 45-55% silica with high amount of Fe, Mg, Ca.
The silica content is quite low compared to those of granitic magma whose silica content can reach up to about 60%.
What determines the viscosity of magma is basically the silica content of the magma and the temperature of the magma. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.
The higher the silica content, the lower the viscosity and the higher the amount of volatile gases. Such type of magma is the granitic magma. Granitic magma due to their viscosity flows slowly.
The lower the silica content, the higher the viscosity and the lesser the presence of volatile gases in them. Such an example is Mafic magma. Mafic magma flows very slowly with low amount of dissolved gases.
Answer:
A. It contains fewer volatile gases
Explanation:
The mafic lava is a lava type that has low viscosity. The reason for that is its composition, being very rich in magnesium and iron. Because this type of lava is low in viscosity, it is unable to contain the majority of the gases and water in it, as they find it relatively easy to ''escape'' from it. That results in much calmer eruptions of the volcanoes that produce mafic magma, with explosions almost never occurring, and even if they do they are very small.
