C. reinhardtii is a species of unicellular green algae that primarily produce energy for growth throughout photosynthesis. However, when necessary, they can also produce energy from a carbon source, which allows them to grow in total darkness. A scientist grows a population of this algae in the dark and finds that after 600 generations, the algae population now grows better int he dark than in the light. Which statement best explains what has happened to the cells in the algae population? A. The cells that were better adapted to growing in the dark reproduced more.
B. The cells that were better adapted to growing in the light got smaller in size.
C. They became contaminated with a species of algae that grow only in the dark.

D. They evolved into a different species that can grow only in the dark.

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).
