The correct next step in this experiment would be to analyze the results and come to a conclusion.
The plasma membrane envelops the absorbed molecules.
Response:
It would need a lower amount of bicarbonate to neutralize the acid.
Explanation:
Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is a partially soluble sodium salt that breaks down in water to create a weakly basic buffer solution. It separates in water releasing bicarbonate ions (HCO−), sodium ions (Na+), and H+.
2 NaHCO3(s) → Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g)
Buffer solutions are maintained in equilibrium. In a solution with a strong acid, the conjugate base reacts, while other carbonate ions release to form carbonic acid, driving the solution back toward balance.
HA ⇄ H+ + A-
Due to its buffering capability, which is how effectively it stabilizes the equilibrium, less bicarbonate will be required later on to neutralize the acid.
In this case, the number of
chromosome pairs in the ant is 4. During gametogenesis, each chromosome pair will segregate into one gamete. Thus, the count of unpaired chromosomes = 4 unpaired chromosomes. The resulting gametes are now haploid, meaning they have no paired chromosomes. Now, each gamete will only carry one chromosome from each pair. Assuming the gene present in the cell chromosomes is heterozygote, there will be 2 outcomes. Consequently, their probability will yield 
outcomes. Therefore, for 4 chromosomes it would amount to 
chromosomes.
