2. protozoan, rickettsia
3. herpesvirus, DNA
4. hydrogen atom, glucose molecule
Answer:
Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Explanation:
1) Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
The atomic size level, which interacts with atoms as well as small molecules, is much lower than the ultramicroscopic range.
2) Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Ultramicroscopic particles are very tiny structures that cannot be seen using a conventional optical microscope, necessitating the use of an electron microscope. Viruses and DNA falls into this group since they are much smaller than tiny species like bacteria.
3) Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Microscopic species are much smaller than macroscopic organisms because they cannot be observed by the naked human eye and must be viewed through a microscope. The size range for microscopic particles is [tex]( 10^3 \ \ to \ \ 10^{10})[/tex], which contains protozoans and Rickettsia (a gram-negative, non-motile bacteria genus).
4) Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Naked eyes can see macroscopic organisms; for example, several types of circular worms and algae can be seen by them.

Which of the following is NOT a function of the stem in a plant?
o absorb water
store nutrients
produce new plant cells
O support flowers and leaves
Answer: Absorb water
Explanation: i took the quiz the other guy is wrong
Absorbing the water from soil is function of root and not a stem. Thus, option B is correct.
What is stem?The structural part of plant, that supports leaves, flowers, and fruits is called as stem. Stems are frequently differentiated for storage, asexual reproduction, protection, or photosynthesis.
The stem is divided into nodes and internodes. Node consist of buds and leaves, that can grow into the branches. It also gives rise to adventitious roots. The function of internode is to distance one node from another.
Stem supports and uprights leaves, flowers and fruits. The stem keeps the leaves in the light and provides the plant with a place to hold the flowers and fruit. It transports fluid between xylem and phloem roots and shoots. Therefore, transportation of water and nutrients is the function of stem, and not absorption. Hence, option B is correct.

C.Arrow 1 represents prophase, and Arrow 2 represents interphase.
D.Arrow 1 represents mitosis, and Arrow 2 represents meiosis.
About the question:
You will find the model of the cell cycle in the attached files
Answer:
A. Arrow 1 represents interphase, and Arrow 2 represents mitosis.
Explanation:
When we talk about the cell cycle, we refer to the interphase and the cell division (mitosis or meiosis).
Interphase: Represented by arrow 1.
The interphase is the previous step before mitosis occurs. The interphase is conformed of the G1, S, and G2 stages.
• During the G1 stage, it occurs a high intense biochemical activity. The cell duplicates its size, and the organelles and other molecules and cytoplasmatic structures also double. Some structures, such as microtubules and actin filaments, are synthesized from zero. The endoplasmic reticulum increases in size and produces a membrane for the Golgi complex and vacuoles, lysosomes, and vesicles. During this stage, the pair of centrioles separate, and each centriole duplicates. Mitochondria and chloroplasts also replicate.
• During the S stage, the DNI replication process occurs. This is the only stage in which the DNI molecule replicates. The synthesis of histones and other associated proteins also occurs.
• G2 stage is the interphase last step. DNI molecule begins to slowly condensate. The centrioles duplication process completes. The spindle fibers get assembled.
Once the whole interphase is completed, mitosis occurs.
Mitosis: Represented in the cycle by arrow 2.
Mitosis is a process by which, from a diploid somatic cell (2n), two daughter diploid cells (2n) are produced. During mitosis, the whole-cell first duplicates and then separates. Mitosis is divided into four phases (these phases are shown in the cycle with different gray color tones). During prophase, chromosomes condensate, and the nuclear membrane breaks. During the metaphase, fibers of the spindle apparatus take chromosomes toward the equatorial cell plane, where they line up. Sister chromatids are holden together until they reach the Anaphase, during which specialized enzymes break the bonds between chromatids and separate them. Each chromatid migrates to one of the poles. In telophase, the new chromosomes are already in the corresponding poles, and the nuclear membrane forms again in each pole. Finally, cytokinesis occurs.

How are living organisms linked within an ecosystem? A. by their physical adaptations B. by what they eat C. by their size D. by their habitat
ILL GIVE BRAINLIST!!!PLEASE HELP!!
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Living Organisms in an ecosystem have a food chain or energy chain. This chain links all organisms within an ecosystem, therefore, answer B "By what they eat" should be the correct answer
Organisms are linked within an ecosystem by their physical adaptations.
What is physical adaptation?
Physical adaptations are special body parts that help a plant or animal survive in an environment.A physical adaptation is some type of structural modification made to a part of the body. A behavioral adaptation is something an animal does - how it acts - usually in response to some type of external stimulus.what is an Ecosystem?An ecosystem is made up of all species and the physical context in which they interact.Nutrient cycles and energy flows connect these biotic and abiotic components. Photosynthesis enters the system, absorbing energy and storing it in plant tissue.Animals assist in the transmission of nutrients and energy throughout the system by eating plants and each other. Both external and internal factors have an impact on ecosystems.
The availability of diverse resources within the ecosystem is determined by internal factors, whilst resource inputs are usually governed by external activities. Ecosystem mechanisms thus regulate as well as control interior elements.
so the correct answer is option A.

Extensive damage to oligodendrocytes in the CNS could result in reduced speed of nerve impulses. a breakdown of the blood-brain barrier. loss of the structural framework of the brain. inability to produce scar tissue at the site of an injury. decreased production of cerebrospinal fluid.
Answer:
Loss of the structural framework of the brain.
Explanation:
Damage to oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system leads to the loss of the structural framework of the brain. oligodendrocytes produce the insulating sheath of axons and we know that axons are the nerve fiber that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. Axons are the primary transmission lines of the nervous system that carries impulse throughout the body so if the oligodendrocytes are damaged then our brain did not work properly.
If oligodendrocytes are damaged, the myelin sheaths around axons can be destroyed. This can lead to a loss of the structural framework of the brain, as the axons will no longer be properly insulated. Hence option C is correct.
Oligodendrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that are responsible for myelinating axons. Myelin is a fatty sheath that surrounds axons and helps to speed up the conduction of nerve impulses.
The loss of the structural framework of the brain can cause a variety of neurological problems, including:
Reduced speed of nerve impulses. As mentioned above, myelin sheaths help to speed up the conduction of nerve impulses. Without myelin sheaths, nerve impulses will travel more slowly, which can cause problems with coordination, movement, and sensation.
Increased risk of seizures. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain. When the myelin sheaths around axons are damaged, it can increase the risk of seizures.
Cognitive impairment refers to a decline in thinking and memory skills. Damage to oligodendrocytes can lead to cognitive impairment, as the axons will no longer be able to function properly.
Therefore, option C) loss of the structural framework of the brain is correct.

o Physical and chemical propery change can happen at the same time.
Chemical property change is better than physical property change.
Answer:
the second one
Explanation:
Sometimes it can be tricky to know whether or not a chemical reaction has occurred. For example, when you melt ice into water, you can write the process in terms of a chemical reaction. However, the chemical formula on both sides of the reaction is the same. Since the chemical identity of the matter in question is unchanged, this process represents a physical change.
Thus melting point is a physical property. On the other hand, flammability is a chemical property of matter because the only way to know how readily a substance ignites is to burn it. In the chemical reaction for combustion, the reactants and products are different.

A 1.0-kb DNA fragment from the 5' end of the mouse gene is examined by DNA footprint protection analysis. Two samples are end-labeled with 32P, and one of the two is mixed with TFIIB, TFIID, and RNA polymerase II. Both samples are exposed to DNase I. The results are displayed below. The DNA exposed to proteins is run in the right-hand lane of the gel. Control DNA is in the left-hand lane.
Required:
What length of DNA is bound by the transcriptional proteins?
Answer:
Explanation:
Proteins, such as RNA (ribonucleic acid) polymerase, were loaded into lane 2. TFIIB and TFIID are two forms of TFII. These proteins attach to the fragment of DNA. Furthermore, these proteins shield DNA from the DNase enzyme, which may trigger DNA to split. As a result of the above findings, we may conclude that the inserting proteins(RNA polymerase, TFIID and TR 8 proteins) cover the area between 500 and 800 bp (base pair) in the DNase I footprinting experiment.
As a consequence, the length duration is 300bp since the promoter area is about 500-800bp and is not digested by DNase after incubation of inserting proteins.
