Aresearcher has developed two stains for use with seed plants. one stains sporophyte tissue blue; the other stains gametophyte tissue red. if the researcher exposes pollen grains to both stains, and then rinses away the excess stain, what should occur? a) the pollen grains will be pure red.b) the pollen grains will be pure blue.c) the pollen grains will have red interiors and blue exteriors.d) the pollen grains will have blue interiors and red exteriors.

The kidney filters potentially toxic substances in the blood, and thus “clears” the blood of those substances. this clearance function is dependent upon and proportional to the diffusion gradient of the substance across filtering capillaries, i.e. if the concentration of the substance is doubled, twice as much will be cleared from each ml of blood that is filtered. suppose that the body produces a constant amount of a substance x per unit of time. the kidneys eliminate substance x at a rate directly proportional to the concentration of the substance and the volume of blood cleared each minute (c): elimination = c × [x], where [x] is the steady-state concentration of substance x. imagine an individual with an initial concentration of x equal to [x]0 who develops kidney disease. her baseline clearance c0 drops to one half of the original (½c0). what is the new steady state concentration of x? (for simplicity, assume that substance x is 100% filtered by the kidney).
