Which of the following is a limiting factor that determines where seagrass can be found? The depth range of seagrass is most likely to be controlled at its deepest edge by the availability of light for photosynthesis. Exposure at low tide, wave action and associated turbidity and low salinity from fresh water inflow determines seagrass […]

What process leads to antibiotic resistance? Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria. What are the two mechanisms through […]

What is minute ventilation measured in? Minute ventilation (VE) is the total volume of gas entering (or leaving) the lung per minute. It is equal to the tidal volume (TV) multiplied by the respiratory rate (f). Minute ventilation = VE = TV x f At rest, a normal person moves ~450 ml/breath x 10 breath/min […]

Why do plant cells become flaccid in isotonic solutions? When the plant cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net flow of water towards the outside or inside. The external solution equals the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm. When the flow of water into the cell and out of the cell exists […]
