Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a solution has pH less than 7 then it is known as an acidic solution. In an acidic solution there are more number of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

Mathematically,       pH = -[log]\frac{1}{[H^{+}}]}[/tex]

where               [H^{+}] = concentration of hydrogen ions

Whereas when a solution has pH more than 7 then it is known as a basic solution. In a basic solution there are more number of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.

Hence, we can conclude that the presence of an acid in a water solution affect the pH of the solution as it raises the pH.

The _______ is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation. a. troposphere b. stratosphere c. mesosphere d. thermosphere
Burka [1]

Answer;

-Stratosphere

The Stratosphere is responsible for absorbing the most UV radiation.

Explanation;

-The stratosphere is the second layer of the atmosphere as you go upward lying between the troposphere and the mesosphere.

-The stratosphere layer also called the ozonic atmospheric envelope, is important to human's life as it contains the ozone layer which absorbs the harmful ultraviolet radiations which emitted from the Sun , and also it is convenient for flying of the planes .

What term describes the parents in a monohybrid cross? They are true-breeding plants. They carry a hidden allele. They differ in
emmainna [20.7K]

Ans.

A monohybrid cross can be defined as 'a cross between two individuals having different copies of a chromosome or gene of interest, which is responsible for variations in a single trait.'

These variations in a single trait are controlled by two or more alleles for a single chromosomes. For example, a cross between tall pea plant and dwarf pea plant to study the inheritance of plant height.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option). they differ in a single trait.'

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
umka21 [38]

Answer: DESERT

Explanation:

Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.

Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.

The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:

--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water

--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.

--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.

The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.

Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
