Sulfur emissions from industry combine with water in the atmosphere and form acid rain. A new factory is built very close to the lake that Josh visits often. By examining the table that shows what pH range different species can survive, Josh decides that the aquatic life will be affected by the changes in pH that the lake. Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are
A) perch and frogs.
B) mayfly and bass.
C) snails and clams.
D) frogs and salamanders.
The correct answer is option (C) snails and clams.
Acid rain is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with water molecules. Industries are one of the major contributors to acid rain. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in water.
A factory built close to the lake can cause acid rain which affects the pH of the lake. Any change in the pH of the lake has an effect on the organisms in it. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral and pH values below 7 indicates acidity and pH values above 7 indicates alkalinity. Organisms have an acid tolerance level beyond which they are affected and can die. Perch has an acid tolerance of up to pH 4.5 and frogs can tolerate an acidic pH of 4.0. The acid tolerance level of Mayfly and Bass is a pH of 5.5. Salamanders can tolerate an acidic pH of 5. Whereas, Snails and Clams have a very less pH tolerance of 6. They are highly susceptible to acidic pH.
Thus, Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are snails and clams.
Answer:
by signals that the nervous system sends to the brain
Explanation:
Answer:
See the answer below
Explanation:
First, let us look at the complete equation of respiration:
The respective number of each atom in the reactants and the products can be filled in the table thus:
Types of atom Number of atom in reactants Number of atom in products
Carbon 6 6
Hydrogen 12 12
Oxygen 18 18
<em>The total number of each atom in the reactants is equal to the total number in the products. Hence, the calculation confirms the law of conservation of matter that says that matters can neither be created nor destroyed, but can be converted from one form to another in a course of a reaction. </em>

Answer:
C.
Explanation:
All these carbon atoms are isotopes: they have the same amount of protons (in this case, 6 because carbon always has 6 protons) and the same amount of electrons (6 because the carbons given have a neutral charge).
Therefore, the only thing we are changing is the atomic mass and the amount of neutrons present in each isotope.
In Carbon-12, there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
In Carbon-13, there are 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
In Carbon-14, there are 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
Answer:
the answer is C) They increase the rate of the chemical reactions involved in digestion
Explanation:
The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
