Answer:

The practice of having two or more wives or husbands.

Explanation:

Most such species exhibit polygyny, a marriage in which two or more women share a husband or a male have multiple partners. Some examples are red-winged blackbird( Agelaius pheoniceus ) and house social monogamy is common and polygamy is rare in birds but the reverse is true in mammals. A large fraction of mammals are polygamous. polygamy most common seen in animist and muslim communities of west africa.

Polyandryis related with polygyny in which involving one male and two or more females. If a marriage involves a plural number of husbands and wives of each gender, then it is called polygamy.

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

What is the percent by mass of water in Na S04.10H20?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

                    Percent by mass of water is 56%

Explanation:

                    First of all calculate the mass of hydrated compound as,

Mass of Sodium = Na × 2 = 22.99 × 1 = 45.98 g

Mass of Sulfur = S × 1 = 32.06 × 1 = 32.06 g

Mass of Oxygen = O × 14 = 16 × 14 = 224 g

Mass of Hydrogen = H × 20 = 1.01 × 20 = 20.2 g

Mass of Na₂S0₄.10H₂O = 322.24 g

Secondly, calculate mass of water present in hydrated compound. For this one should look for the coefficient present before H₂O in molecular formula of hydrated compound. In this case the coefficient is 10, so the mass of water is...

Mass of water = 10 × 18.02

Mass of water = 180.2 g

Now, we will apply following formula to find percent of water in hydrated compound,

           %H₂O  =  Mass of H₂O / Mass of Hydrated Compound × 100

Putting values,

                                      %H₂O  = 180.2 g / 322.24 g × 100

                                           %H₂O =  55.92 % ≈ 56%

Calculate the energy required to ionize a hydrogen atom to an excited state where the electron is initially in the n = 5 energy
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

. The energy of shells in a hydrogen atom is calculated by the formula E = -Eo/n^2 where n is any integer, and Eo = 2.179X10^-18 J. So, the energy of a ground state electron in hydrogen is:

E = -2.179X10^-18 J / 1^2 = -2.179X10^-21 kJ

Consequently, to ionize this electron would require the input of 2.179X10^-21 kJ


2. The wavelength of a photon with this energy would be:

Energy = hc/wavelength

wavelength = hc/energy

wavelength = 6.626X10^-34 Js (2.998X10^8 m/s) / 2.179X10^-18 J = 9.116X10^-8 m

Converting to nanometers gives: 91.16 nm


3. Repeat the calculation in 1, but using n=5.


4. Repeat the calculation in 2 using the energy calculated in 3.
