A friend is conducting an experiment in which they are watering and weighing plants periodically. Over time, the plants have an increase in weight. Your friend concludes that the plant is absorbing the water and therefore there is an increase in weight. Having just studied photosynthesis, you know this is an inaccurate conclusion. What is more likely the cause of the plant weight gain?

If rats inhale radioactive O2, the first molecules to acquire radioactivity in their cells will be ________.

If 50% of the offspring from a test cross displayed the recessive phenotype, then the unknown parent possessed ________.

Which of the following would enhance the rate of ATP synthesis in chloroplasts?

A mutation occurs in a plant in which oxygen and ATP is produced; however, NADP+ is never reduced. Where did the mutation most likely occur?

You are studying cellular respiration in cultured cells. By mistake you add a bacterium that is known to stop the process of cellular respiration. To understand the mechanism, you notice the buildup of pyruvate and the presence of H+ ions outside of the mitochondria and the cells die due to a severe reduction of ATP inside the cell. What is the most likely effect the bacteria are having in these cells to cause the observed results?

purposely drawing district borders to favor one party or disadvantage one group of voters is called

Interestingly, Myrmecia pilosula was originally described as a single species; but it actually consists of several distinct, closely related species with females having diploid chromosome numbers of 18, 20, 32, 48, 60, 62, and 64. Yet all the ants look pretty much alike! Assume that a cross occurs between a female of Myrmecia species (A) with 32 chromosomes and a male Myrmecia species (B) with 9 chromosomes (remember, males are haploid and transmit all their chromosomes to each sperm cell). How many chromosomes would be expected in the somatic (non-gametic) cells of the hybrid females?
