Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The hardness of any material depends upon the type of chemical bonds and the energy requires to break that bond. Diamond and graphite has covalent bonding between their carbon atoms.

Gary rubs the diamond the graphite piece is scratched because diamond has strong covalent bonding then graphite. The bond energy of diamond is much higher than graphite. Gary rubs the piece of graphite against diamond, diamond doesn't scratch because diamond is harder than graphite.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

A template dna strand contains the sequence 3'-atgctgac-5'. the corresponding sequence in the rna transcript is:
V125BC [204]
The corresponding sequence in the RNA transcript is 5'-UACGACUG-3' . One of the differences between DNA and RNA is the fact that the RNA contains the base uracil instead of thyamine. The base pairing occurs between A and T, and G and C. DNA undergoes the process of transcription in the nucleus to generate RNA, which then undergoes translation (for mRNA) in the cytoplasm to yield proteins.

_____ is caused by a tight agonist muscle decreasing the neural drive to its functional antagonist.
alexgriva [62]
Altered reciprocal inhibition <span>is caused by a tight agonist muscle decreasing the neural drive to its functional antagonist. Altered reciprocal inhibition changes the relationships of force pairs, resulting in equal superiority, resulting in further non-functioning patterns in movement, muscle control on a neurological level, and specifically malfunction of joints. </span>

what percentage is the tonicity of the medically administered intravenous solutions? what would happen if the tonicity gets lowe
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

<h2>The Infusion Nurses Society (INS) classifies a solution as isotonic if its tonicity falls within (or near) the normal range for blood serum-between 280 and 300 mOsm/liter. A hypotonic solution has an osmolarity less than 280 mOsm/liter, and a hypertonic solution has an osmolarity greater than 300 mOsm/liter.</h2>

<h2>Hopefully u will satisfy with my answer..!!</h2>

<h2>Have a nice day ahead dear..!!</h2>
