Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:The correct option is C) Cell walls are rigid. Small molecules like water or oxygen can pass through them.

Explanation:

Cell walls are found in plant cells and some other organisms. They provide structural support and protection to the cell. The cell wall is made up of a rigid material called cellulose, which gives it its strength.

Cell walls are permeable, meaning that they allow certain substances to pass through them. Small molecules like water and oxygen can pass through the cell wall via small pores or channels. However, larger molecules, such as proteins and carbohydrates, cannot pass through the cell wall.

This selective permeability of the cell wall allows the cell to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining its internal environment. It also helps prevent the cell from bursting under osmotic pressure.

In summary, cell walls are rigid structures composed of cellulose. They are permeable, allowing small molecules like water and oxygen to pass through, while blocking larger molecules.

The function f(t) = 4t2 - 8t + 6 shows the height from the ground f(t), in meters, of a roller coaster car at different times t. Write f(t) in the vertex form a(x - h)2 + k, where a, h, and k are integers, and interpret the vertex of f(t). A. f(t) = 4(t - 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 3 meters from the ground

B. f(t) = 4(t - 1)2 + 3; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

C. f(t) = 4(t - 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground

D. f(t) = 4(t - 1)2 + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 1 meter from the ground

Answers

f(t) = 4 t^(2) -8+6
The formula to use is: a(x-xv)^2+yv
where a is the coeficient of x^2, xv= -b/2a (b is the coeficient of x) and yv= -delta/4a or f(xv)

xv = 8/8 =1
yv = f(xv)=f(1) = 2

f(t) = 4(t-1)^2+2 the minimum value is 2 when t=1

The answer to your question is C. I hope this is the answer that you are looking for and it comes to your help.

The function f(t)can be written in the vertex form as: C. f(t) = 4(t - 1)² + 2; the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

How to write this function in vertex form?

Since the leading coefficient in the given function f(t) is positive 4, the parabola will open upward and at the vertex. Also, the value of the function f(t) would be minimum.

Evaluating the function by applying completing the square, we have:

f(t) = 4t² - 8t + 6

f(t) = 4(t² - 2t) + 6

f(t) = 4(t² - (2 × t × 1) + 1² - 1²) + 6

f(t) = 4(t² - (2 × t × 1) + 1² - 1) + 6

f(t) = 4(t² - 2t + 1²) - 4 + 6

f(t) = 4(t² - 2t + 1²) + 2

f(t) = 4(t - 1)² + 2.

Therefore, the vertex of f(t) will be at (1, 2) and the minimum height of the roller coaster is 2 meters from the ground.

Bio homework help :)?Two populations of birds with somewhat different coloration live on opposite sides of a peninsula. The habitat between the populations is not suitable for these birds. When birds from the two populations are brought together, they produce young whose appearance is intermediate between the two parents. These offspring will breed with each other or with birds from either parent population, and all offspring of these pairings appear intermediate to various degrees. (use to answer Q 1.) 1.What keeps the two populations separate? behavioral reproductive isolation temporal reproductive isolation lack of hybrid viability spatial reproductive isolation They are already separate species. 2. Three populations of crickets look very similar, but the males have courtship songs that sound different. What function would this difference in song likely serve if the populations came in contact? a postzygotic isolating mechanism b prezygotic isolating mechanism c gametic reproductive isolating mechanism d behavioral reproductive isolating mechanism e two of the above 3. The peppered moth provides a well-known example of natural selection. The light-colored form of the moth was predominant in England before the industrial revolution. In the mid-nineteenth century, a dark-colored form appeared. The difference is produced by a dominant allele of one gene. By about 1900, approximately 90% of the moths around industrial areas were dark colored, whereas light-colored moths were still abundant elsewhere. Apparently, birds could readily find the light moths against the soot-darkened background in industrial areas and therefore were eating more light moths. Recently, use of cleaner fuels has greatly reduced soot in the landscape, and the dark-colored moths have been disappearing. Should the two forms of moths be considered separate species?
a. Yes, because natural selection has affected the frequency of the two different forms.
b. Yes, because they have completely different coloration.
c. Yes, because they are reproductively isolated based on habitat.
d. Yes, because they have completely different coloration and natural selection has affected the frequency of the two different forms. e. No.

Explanation:

The cell cycle is composed of 3 states: interphase (composed of phases Gap 1, Synthesis and Gap 2), cell division and resting (Gap 0). When the cell has left the cycle and has stopped dividing the cell is in the Resting state whose only phase is the Gap 0.
