Answer: Biological Magnification
Explanation:
Organisms acquire toxic substance from the environment along with nutrients and water. Some of the toxins are metabolized and excreted, but others accumulate in specific tissues, especially fat. One of the reasons accumulated toxins are particularly harmful is that the become more concentrated in successive trophic level of the food web, this is the process of biological magnification.
Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given level is produced from a must larger biomass ingested from the level below. Thus the top-level carnivores tend to be the organism most severely affected by toxic compounds in the environment.
Examples of toxins that demonstrate biology magnification are chlorinated hydrocarbons, and many pesticides.
Answer:
E
Explanation:
None of the above
The atom with the symbol S is called sulphur Sulphur has atomic number 16 which means that it has 16 protons. Sulphur-32 has 32 nucleons - 16 protons and 16 neutrons.Sulfur is a chemical element It is nonmetallic. Under normal conditions, sulfur atoms form cyclic octatomic molecules with a chemical formula S8. Elemental sulfur is a bright yellow, crystalline solid at room temperature.
I believe the answer is C
Answer:
See below :)
Explanation:
There is an evident reason why some of the solutions Carson's has listed and observed, does conduct electricity and some that do.
A flow of electrical charge is called an electric current. Ions are atoms, or sets of atoms, that contain an electrical charge. There are two types of ions, cation or a positively charged ion containing a deficiency of electrons, and anion or a negatively charged ion which contains a surplus of electrons. When a solution conducts electricity the charge is carried within by ions that move through the solution. The larger the number of ions in the solution, the better the conductivity of the solution is. Pure water does not conduct very well because it contains very few ions, but when table salt (NaCl) is dissolved in the water, this solution does conduct well because the solution contains a more abundance of ions. The majority of the ions come from the table salt, chemically names sodium chloride. Because Sodium contains its sodium ions, and these are positive charge and chloride ions which is a negative charge, it is called an ionic substance. Not every substance is made up of ions, one such example is sugar (C12H22O11). Sugar is made up of uncharged particles also called molecules. Although sugar is a substance its molecules do not hold a charge, thus when sugar is dissolved in water, the solution does not conduct electricity, due to the lack of ions in the solution.
Therefore, depending on the ions that make up the compound, the substance would or would not conduct electricity.
