olganol [36]2 years ago
5 0

The correct matching of the given terms are as follows;

Adhesion - the ability of two substances to stick together.

Thermal energy - is the random motion of molecules.

Surface tension - is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.

Evaporation - is the cooling of a surface due to a substance changing from a liquid to a gas.

Temperature - is the average speed of molecules moving within matter.

<h3>What is are the definition of the given terms?</h3>

The definition of the given terms are as follows;

Adhesion is defined as the attractive force which exists between two different molecules which cause them to stick together.

Thermal energy is the random motion of molecules.

Surface tension  is a measure of how difficult it is to break the surface of a liquid.

Evaporation is the cooling of a surface due to a substance changing from a liquid to a gas.

Temperature is the average speed of molecules moving within matter.

In conclusion, adhesion involves the attraction between molecules of different substances.

If the Pacific plate is moving at a speed of 5 centimeters per year, how many kilometers will the Pacific plate travel in 1 mill
kotegsom [21]

Answer: 50 kilometers

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the Pacific plate is moving at a speed of 5 centimeters per year. The number of kilometers that the Pacific plate will travel in 1 million years would be calculated as:

= 5 × 1,000,000

= 5,000,000 centimeters

Since 100000 centimeters = 1 kilometer, we would convert 5,000,000 centimeters to kilometers. This will be:

= 5,000,000 / 100,000

= 50 kilometers

Investigate four substances containing nitrogen or phosphorous that are related to biological processes, and explain their respe
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Well, you already have the answer, but I can try to elaborate XD

So, DNA: contains genetic information that is necessary for biological functioning and reproduction.

More specifically, it contains the genetic instructions through gene encoding that instructs the cell what to do. A specialized complex ribosome interacts with the DNA molecules and "reads" it, changing the genes from the DNA into proteins that the cell as a whole can function upon. It is also crucial to forming a whole cell in offspring, since only the genes from the two parents combined (in humans at least) can produce an offspring with all genes intact. Those who do not have genetic disorders, a famous one being Down Syndrome.

Next, RNA: a molecule necessary for expressing genes and making proteins.

Connecting to the paragraph above for DNA, RNA also assists in the process by reading the ribosome that reads the DNA itself. Complicated, I know. All you have to know, however, is that the RNA, in this case called mRNA since it serves as a messenger, hence, the "m", reads the codons produced by the ribosome when it reads the DNA, and makes proteins according to those codons, and those proteins then scatter all across the cell to execute instructions.

Now, we move onto nitrogen and phosphorous: both are found in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.

That is actually partially wrong. Amino acids do not contain phosphorous, but do contain nitrogen. Not exactly sure what went wrong on your end there, but nitrogen is a basic building block for amino acids, which are basic building blocks themselves for proteins. To be more clear, amino acids are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms. No phosphorus there!

Finally, enzymes: special proteins that accelerate chemical reactions in cells.

This is correct. Enzymes typically lower the activation energy required for reactions to happen. More specifically, enzymes make the reaction molecules more active, hence, lowering the threshold for the amount of energy you have to put in before the molecules start crashing into each other hard enough to have a chemical reaction. Of course, enzymes do not participate in the reaction itself, which makes them incredibly useful for spurring on chemical reactions since they can be used multiple times.

Hope this helped!
