Q15

Whts the answer to this

Q21

and the answer to this

 

[Sadi66]

Yawr tell pls is it easier? Coz i find difficulty in it

 

[Lola_sweet]

Yawr tell pls is it easier?

wht is easier?

Q15

The SI unit for time is Seconds, so while recording results our results should always be in seconds thus it cant be for A and B
and for precise results u always right ur answer to the nearest second (p3 tip) so it cant be D
thus we r left with C

Q21

if u see the first part of the qs its written tht BRCA1 or BRCA2 lead to the heredity of breast cancer, and we knw tht cancer is formed by mutation in the gene causing an abnormal gene to be produced. So for breast cancer to occur these 2 genes have to produce abnormal or no protein.
Also p53 is a tumour supressor gene (a gene which protects a gene from forming a tumour) so this has to produce abnormal or no protein in order to lead to breast cancer.
Thus its D

whts the answer?

Correct answer is B.

Also for this magnification question, to find the image size, do I measure the length of the entire picture? Or just the width of a single Xylem vessel??

just measure the length of the scale bar labelled 50 micrometers.
Then magnification = image/ real = (what you measure on your ruler) / (50 micrometers.)

 

[Lola_sweet]

Correct answer is B.

Did u see the solution tht qwertypoiu did?

 

[Studydayandnight]

just measure the length of the scale bar labelled 50 micrometers.
Then magnification = image/ real = (what you measure on your ruler) / (50 micrometers.)

Ohhhh, thanks!

HELP! How do we find the diameter?

I bet I am going wrong with the conversions or something :/

 

[ashcull14]

As explained before can't do first question
Q2:
Movement of sucrose from chloroplast to phloem does NOT include mass flow.
Mass flow happens when sucrose is translocated from source to sink.
The sucrose moving from source (chloroplast in this case) to the phloem is just the initial step to this, and only involves the companion cell pumping H+ ions using ATP to bind sucrose to H+ ions and make them travel together against sucrose concentration gradient through a co-transporter molecule.
If 1 is wrong, obviously the only option left is D. Once inside the companion cell, H+ ions are detached and sucrose molecules naturally move down their concentration gradient into the phloem elements, this probably involves both the symplast and apoplast transport.

thnk u life saver

Could you tell us what your measurement was using your ruler?

Welcome and very kind of you to say that

It should be just your measurement divided by 24,000

 

[Studydayandnight]

It should be just your measurement divided by 24,000

But then the options are either in micrometer or nanometer :/

My measurement is 0.3 cm.

 

[qwertypoiu]

But then the options are either in micrometer or nanometer :/

My measurement is 0.3 cm.

Assuming you measured correctly:
0.3cm = 3mm = 3000micrometer = 3,000,000nm
Divide by 24,000:
3,000,000nm/24,000 = 125nm
closest option is D, which is 150nm
