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).

Based on the weather station symbols shown below, what is the most likely location of the low pressure system?
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

D. Just east of Station B

Explanation:

This would be most likely to have a low pressure system, because it is relativley the area that may seemingly have the least water by it. This is also an area that could be affected the most, because of precipitation levels are lower than other(s).

Low Pressure System is basically, what helps when there is little rainfall, and it is needed in that area.

This can also say, that  from all directions Station B to the east is the only direction, in which has no bodies of water near it, meaning there wouldn't be much rainfall.

Because of this it, there would need to have the help of a low pressure system in the area.

If a phospholipid is located in the outer layer of the bilayer in a vesicle, where will it end up when the vesicle fuses with th
Leviafan [203]

If a phospholipid is located in the outer layer of the bilayer in a vesicle, it will end up in the cytosolic face of the bilayer when the vesicle fuses with the plasma membrane.

The lipids on the exterior of a vesicle will end up in the phospholipid layer on the interior (cytosolic face) of the plasma membrane when it fuses with the membrane. The extracellular fluid in the plasma membrane will be in contact with the lipids on the interior of the vesicle membrane.

What is a phospholipid?

Phospholipids are a subclass of lipids that have two hydrophobic "tails" made of fatty acids connected by an alcohol residue. Their hydrophilic "head" contains a phosphate group (usually a glycerol molecule).
