When elements combine to form compounds what happens to the properties of the original elements?

Biology
1 answer:
exis [7]3 years ago
3 0
The properties of the original elements are completely changed.

For example, in the compound called "iron(II) sulphide", it is composed of iron and sulphur, that are chemically combined together. The element iron is attracted to magnets. Meanwhile, iron(II) sulphide is not attracted to magnets. 

Another example is where sulphur has a yellow colour, but iron(II) sulphide has a brownish colour. As we can see, even the physical properties (colours) are completely different.

Therefore, the properties of the original elements are completely changed when they're combined into compounds.

If a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment, what will happen?
larisa [96]
The cell will incorporate solvent - water. When a plant cell contains more solutes than its surrounding environment it means that it is in a hypertonic state, the osmotic gradient will increase and the water will tend to enter the cell augmenting the t<span>urgor pressure inside the cell wall. Ultimately, it will cause water to enter the plant and reach the cell.</span>

<u>Answer</u>: predator and prey

<u>Explanation</u>:

The described graph illustrates the cycle of a predator and prey population.  The population curves for predator and prey are not synchronized with each other and their amplitudes differ.

Changes in the prey population will not result in immediate or exactly identical changes in the predator population.

In the attached image, the red line represents the prey population and the blue the predator population. As it can be observed, when the prey population increases in size, the predator population size increases too.

However, this increase is not of the same size and is delayed in time. The predator population will continue to increase even though the prey population has started to decrease.

This has to do with the fact that the adult predators mated and gave birth when the food availability was still high. However, these new young individuals will not survive and reproduce due to decreasing prey. As the prey continues to decrease, more and more predators will perish.

The same cycle will then repeat over and over again.
