"A. cutting down most of the trees in a forest to make furniture" is the correct answer because some trees play a vital role in processing the carbon in the air.
Open-mindedness is needed for the emerging scientific ideas to be accepted (or : to not be rejected without consideration).
Additionally, open-mindedness as a attitude often leads to new scientific ideas emerging: it means that people are more comfortable to try out new things and to test new hypotheses.
Horses sleep while standing, unless it is necessary for them to get REM sleep. The amount of REM sleep needed is not much, so they will spend most of their time when sleeping, standing.
Answer:
(a) number of strands (n) = time (t) ÷ proportionality constant (k)
(b) The time needed for the bacterial to double its initial size is 3.36 hours.
Explanation:
(a) Let the rate (time) be represented by t and the amount (number) of strands of bacteria be represented by n
t is proportional to n, therefore, t = kn (k is the proportionality constant)
Since t = kn, then, n = t/k
(b) Initial amount of strands = 300
Amount of strands after 2 hours = 300 + (300 × 20/100) = 300 + 60 = 360
k = t/n = 2/360 = 0.0056 hour/strand
Double of the initial size is 600 (300×2 = 600)
Time (t) needed for the bacterial to double its initial size = kn = 0.0056×600 = 3.36 hours
Scientists worked backwards by looking into the amino acid sequence to determine the DNA base. They started with the mRNA which transcribes the codon into respective amino acids. This human gene is found on top of chromosome 11 in human DNA.
