What could have been responsible for the change in amino acid from gorillas to humans?
Genetic mutations over time likely caused changes in the amino acid sequence from gorillas to humans. These mutations could have arisen from environmental factors, natural selection, or genetic drift. As a result, differences in amino acids between gorillas and humans have accumulated over millions of years of evolution.
Where is the sheep sorrel plant grown?
Sheep sorrel, a small plant with arrow-shaped leaves, is commonly found growing in North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. It thrives in open fields, meadows, and disturbed areas with well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. It is often considered a weed in lawns and gardens.
What are rainforest emergents?
It is a top layer of the rainforest,
Emergent,
Canopy,
understory,
And forest floor.
(also known as the tallest trees in the rainforest.)
It is important that the population size of animals and plants to remain stable so the food chain runs fluidly. If you had a major increase or decrease of a species then that would cause drastic change to the environment. For example: given the food chain of grass, a grasshopper, a frog, a snake and a hawk if the grass population went under then the grasshopper, frog, snake and hawks population would drop because the grasshopper would eat the grass and without grass than the population would decrease along with the other. But if the frog population decreased then the grasshopper population would increase from the lack of frogs but the grass would decrease from the overpopulating grasshoppers while the snakes would decrease with the hawks. After a while though, despite the drastic over- or underpopulation, the environment would find a way to get itself stable once more.
Do plants convert the energy of sunlight into carbon dioxide and water?
No. (This is just a bad multiple choice distractor.)
Plants convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates and oxygen using the energy of sunlight.
What does the Chlorophyll do in the plant cell?
Chlorophyll is contained in the chloroplasts of the plant cell, and absorbs sunlight and coverts it to sugar. Plants need the sugar to grow and live.
This process is called photosynthesis, and it's only found in plant cells.
What is the ways of classifying plants?
There are several plant classification systems and little agreement, e.g. some botanists believe the ferns are a class within the Division Pteridophyta, others consider them a division of their own. In this course, rather than use a formal classification system we will simply refer to these groups by their informal names;-
Algae
Bryophytes
Pteridophytes
Gymnosperms
Angiosperms

There are a few other higher categories of classification you may come across in your reading.
Lower plants usually include algae and Bryophytes, while higher plants refer to Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms.
The word Cryptogams literally means "hidden wedding" and alludes to the fact that the sex life of these plants (algae, Bryophytes and Pteridophytes) was once not understood. Phanerogams ("open wedding") are the seed plants - the gymnosperms and angiosperms.
Thallophytes is an outmoded term for plants whose body is not differentiated into root/stem/leaves but is termed a thallus. Algae fall into this category (and fungi did too when they were considered to be plants).
Vascular plants are those with vascular tissue (xylem & phloem). Embryophytes (all but algae) are plants that bear an embryo and are synonymous with land plants.
What gas do plants need to grow and survive?
A plant uses carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen. The glucose is then used in aerobic cellular respiration, which forms molecules of ATP, which provide energy for the cell's activities, including growth.
How large can the vinus fly trap get?
If you grow your own, it will reach a maximum size of about 13 cm (5 inches) in diameter. Mind you, that is the size of the entire plant! A single leaf trap may be a tad larger than 3 cm (1 inch) in length. A plant in marginal conditions will have about 4 to 8 traps on it at any time. This is also roughly the size of a wild one but they can get much bigger.
What makes an organism better able to survive in its environment?
An organism's adaptations, such as physical features or behaviors that enhance its ability to obtain food, avoid predators, or withstand environmental conditions, can make it better suited to survive in its environment. Additionally, genetic diversity within a population can provide a range of traits that increase the chances of some individuals surviving and reproducing successfully. Finally, the ability to adjust to environmental changes through processes like evolution and acclimatization can also contribute to an organism's survival in its environment.
What do plants make from carbon?
Plants use carbon dioxide from the air, along with water and sunlight, to produce glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Glucose is a form of sugar that plants use as an energy source for growth and development.
What is the name of an expertof animals and plants?
A specialist in animals and plants is known as a biologist or a naturalist. These individuals study the characteristics, behavior, and interactions of different species within their respective environments.
Is a toadstool a plant or an animal?
Sometimes toadstools grow on rotted or moist trees. They tend to prefer the ground around trees and mossy damp areas.
Can you water plants at night?
It is generally better to water plants in the morning so that any excess moisture can be evaporated during the day, reducing the risk of mold and mildew. Watering at night can create a damp environment that may promote the growth of fungus and other plant diseases. If nighttime watering is necessary, try to water the soil directly without wetting the leaves to minimize these risks.
How can one determine the sex of a chromosome?
In a karyotype chromosomes are distinguished by number, size and centromere position. This is obtained by certain staining methods. The G method (geimsa staining) indicating the banding pattern of the chromosome by light and dark staining of the bands which are unique to each chromosome or by the Q method (quinicrine fluorescence) where bands indicate fluorescently that are Adenine and Thiamine rich. Other methods are the R method (reverse banding) where chromosomes are first heated before being geimsa stained and indicate in reverse to that of the G method, and the C method (centromeric heterochromatin) involving the staining of the centromere.
Why is carbon dioxide important for a plant?
Carbon dioxide allows plants to undergo the process photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide and water are turned into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Glucose is converted into ATP (energy) by the plant. The energy is used to conduct cellular processes.
Is the nucleus completely isolated from the cytoplasm of the cell by the nuclear envelope?
No, the nucleus is not completely isolated from the cytoplasm. The nuclear envelope has pores that allow for the exchange of molecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm. This allows for communication and transport of molecules between the two compartments.
Can plants provide carbon dioxide to animals?
Plants do not produce carbon dioxide for animals. Instead, plants absorb carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a byproduct. Animals then use this oxygen for respiration, producing carbon dioxide as a waste product, which is then used by plants for photosynthesis in a continuous cycle.
Why do plants evolve alternative ways of fixing carbon dioxide?
plants use the alternative pathways as a last resort when necessary the only reason they would ever use it is so they would not overload with carbon and explode then it would undo everything that the plant previously did
How many chromosomes are found in a gorilla?
How many chromonsomes does a gorrila have? The answer is the same
Deer, rabbits, and javelinas are known to feed on century plant leaves. Additionally, certain insects like caterpillars and grasshoppers may also consume parts of the century plant.
The offspring is called a "mutant" if it has a new genetic variation that it did not inherit from either parent. Mutations can arise spontaneously or be caused by environmental factors, and they contribute to genetic diversity within a population.
What happend when you mix carbon dioxide with lime water?
Lime water reacts with carbon dioxide to produce a precipitate of calcium carbonate (CaCO3):
Ca(OH)2 (aq) + CO2 (g) → CaCO3 (s) + H2O (l)
As you can see, it also produces water (H20).
Thus, lime water can be used to detect the presence of carbon dioxide.
Do plants and animals use carbon dioxide?
No. Carbon Dioxide is used in the process of Photosynthesis to make a byproduct of Oxygen, but Oxygen isn't needed for this process.
Photosynthesis equation:
sunlight
Carbon Dioxide + Water------------->Glucose + Oxygen
chlorophyll
P.S- Sunlight and Chlorophyll are needed in the reaction but they aren't products ( Carbon Dioxide and Water are raw materials and Glucose and Oxygen are products) so when you are writing the formulae they sit on the arrow :)
Plants use oxygen during respiration and release carbondioxide. During photosynthesis oxygen is used and carbondioxide is released. Thus they use both the gases to make the air.
