1. Plant breeders wanted to produce a better variety of tomato by selective breeding. Two plants‚ of the varieties Tangella and Piranto‚ were crossed. (a) Some flowers of each variety were covered with cellophane bags. The diagram shows a covered flower and a brush. (i) Explain why some flowers were covered with cellophane bags during the selective breeding. .......................................................................................................................... ........

Simple diffusion The term simple diffusion refers to a process whereby a substance passes through a membrane without the aid of an intermediary such as a integral membrane protein. The force that drives the substance from one side of the membrane to the other is the force of diffusion. In order for substances to pass through a cell membrane by simple diffusion it must penetrate the hydrophobic core of the phospholipid bilayer. The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially

Discussion: 1. Peter was preparing some potatoes for cooking. He put some water in a pot and added some salt. He cut up the potatoes and put them in the salt solution. Then the telephone rang and he spent 30 minutes talking to George. When he returned to put the potatoes on the stove they were flaccid (soft). Explain what happened to the potatoes. The concentration of free-moving water molecules is higher in potato cells‚ the cytoplasm of the cell is hypertonic. The water molecule will flow from

Introduction In this investigation‚ me and my partners performed an experiment to find the different energy contents in food and different amounts of energy released when consumed. Throughout this experiment our procedure was to take different food samples and use a device known as a calorimeter made from a can of aluminum‚ one large paper clips and a string of copper wire to measure the amount of thermal energy released during a reaction. By measuring the temperature difference before and after

In 1882‚ Belgian cytologist Pierre-Joseph van Beneden discovered that the gametes of the roundworm Ascaris contained two chromosomes while somatic cells contained four. B. Fertilization 1. van Beneden proposed in 1887 that an egg and sperm could fuse to form a zygote. 2. The fusion of gametes is called fertilization or syngamy. C. Meiosis 1. A reduction division is required to reduce the number

1. Bedbugs have been evolving in the United States since the 1940s and 50s. (1) Due to genetic mutations after World War II a widespread of pesticides known to be DDT was used. The genetic variation makes them resistant to the pesticides. (2) These DDT pesticides were used on the bedbug population‚ making them resistant to the pesticide. This illustrates natural selection because those resistant with the pesticide survive best. Which is heritable to their population with the resistant pesticide offspring

Midterm Study Guide Answers 1. A hypothesis is an explanation of observations. “If the floor is wet‚ I will slip.” 2. A controlled experiment is when only one variable is changed. 3. If the plant you are experimenting with has a disease that is an unavoidable experimental error. 4. An enzyme speeds up reactions and lowers the energy it takes to produce something‚ a lock and key. 5. Autotrophs make their own food by producing sugars from sunlight and various chemicals. 6
