Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Taxonomy

The Radio-ulna and digits of most primates and animals represents a homologous structure

An example of another internal structure is the genes.
The homologous chromosomes have the same genes in common. Each cell has at least two sets of chromosomes which one comes from one’s father also called as paternal chromosome and mother, called as the maternal chromosomes. These chromosomes are what makes the child obtain the characters and may depend on the traits the parents possess. Homologous chromosomes are not duplicated chromosomes or identical however, they are analogous or similar. The alleles for a specific characteristics isn’t the same but the same genes are in the same order.<span> </span>

Select all that apply. Choose the cells that are diploid. egg nerve bone sperm muscle

Natali5045456 [20]

The diploid cells in this case include nerve cell, bone cell and muscle cell. A diploid cell is a cell that contains two sets of chromosomes, which is double the haploid chromosome number. They include all the somatic cells with exception of germ line cells. Gametes are haploid cells meaning they only have one set of chromosomes. During sexual reproduction, gametes (sperm and egg cells) fuse at fertilization to form a diploid zygote which develops into a diploid organism.

Which of the following is NOT a beta-lactam antibiotic?

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

vancomycin

Explanation:

β-lactam antibiotics are those antibiotic that that contain a beta-lactam ring (the cyclic amide with the nitrogen atom attached to the β-carbon) in their molecular structures. This class of antibiotics is the most commonly used and it includes penicillin derivatives, cephalosporins, monobactams, and carbapenems. The mechanism of action of β-lactam antibiotics is inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis in the bacteria.
