The absolute pressure can be less than the atmospheric pressure

What information is in a xylem vulnerability curve (such as the one found un Huber et al. 2019)?

Methane CH4 gas and oxygen O2 gas react to form carbon dioxide CO2 gas and water H2O vapor. Suppose you have  11.0 mol of CH4 and 20.0 mol of O2 in a reactor. What would be the limiting reactant?

Match the design phase with appropriate description of the work completed in that phase.

In most leaves, stomata and chloroplasts are located in specific regions to perform their functions effectively. Which of the following best describes the location and function of these structures?

Extra credit (6 points). A researcher is investigating reproductive processes in a newly discovered species of primates. She notices that the timing and location of gamete production differ between males and females. In one case, the process occurs continuously throughout life, while in the other, it follows a different pattern, starting at a particular time and ending later. Using this scenario, compare spermatogenesis and oogenesis by explaining: The organs where each process occurs, When each process begins during the individual’s lifetime, When each process ends.

Match the stage of mitosis with the most accurate description of what occurs at each stage.
