The answer is the population size. The chance has a role in determining whether a given individual survives and reproduces and the alleles in the offspring are a sample of those in the parents. it is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele) in a population due to random sampling of organisms. Genetic Drift or another term for allelic drift or the Sewall Wright effect.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are a type of nutrient are found in many foods including: fruits, vegetables, cereals, grains and sweets. Carbohydrates serve as a fuel, providing us with energy and playing a role in brain and organ functioning. Carbohydrates also provide fiber, that is important for excretory functions. There are many types of carbohydrates that have different effects on the body, such as: simple carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, sucrose, fructose, lactose, etc.

Which diagrams shows reaction pathway that absorbs energy?

postnew [5]

Question:

<em>The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.</em>

Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.

Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.

Answer:

Part 1: The diagram illustrates an endothermic reaction as the products has a higher potential energy than the reactants do. There is a positive slope of the diagram and there is enough energy to meet the activation energy requirement.

Part 2: You can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram by the potential energy of the reactants. If the reactants have a high potential energy, then the enthalpy is also high, and if the reactants have a low potential energy, then the enthalpy is low. You can determine if the diagram is positive or negative by knowing if its an endothermic or exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is positive because the products are higher than the reactants and a exothermic reaction is negative because the reactants are higher than the products.
