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).

State 2 features each which viruses have in common with living things
BabaBlast [244]
1. Like living things, viruses have genetic material and 2. viruses can evolve.


- Viruses share many genes with their host cells. Viruses are dependent on living organisms, which lead to some living characteristics - they can reproduce/replicate in living host cells, mutate, appear in different strains, and have unique genetic material. However, viruses are classified as not living things because they can’t carry out the necessary processes that meet all requirements for the classification of a living thing. They do NOT undergo respiration and cannot generate energy needed to survive on its own, but viruses *do* share a few features with living things.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Since , abductions, particularly the minimus and gluteus medius , are active on the side of the leg which is in contact with the ground . This is to avoid the tendency of gravity to cause the downward motion of the hip on the opposite side . In addition, the lateral muscle and  paraspinal muscles  of the trunk are active on the side of the swinging leg to avoid the downward motion of iliac crest on side .
