What is an acid?

Biology
1 answer:
IRINA_888 [86]3 years ago
8 0
Not (A) because a molcule with pH 7 is neutral eg, water

Not (B) because a molecule with pH >7 is basic/alkali which is the opposite of acid.

This leaves C and D.

Lets take one of the most commonly known acids, hydrochloric acid which has the formula HCl.

When acids are added to water they split up (dissociate).

HCl cannot split to give hydroxide ions but can give hydrogen atoms (which are actually hydrogen ions > H+)


so the answer is D

Humans deplete the most resources when
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources (see also mineral resource classification). Use of either of these forms of resources beyond their rate of replacement is considered to be resource depletion. The value of a resource is a direct result of its availability in nature and the cost of extracting the resource, the more a resource is depleted the more the value of the resource increases. There are several types of resource depletion, the most known being: Aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, pollution or contamination of resources, slash-and-burn agricultural practices, Soil erosion, and overconsumption, excessive or unnecessary use of resources.

Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to farming, fishing, mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels. Depletion of wildlife populations is called defaunation.

Colchicine is a toxin that binds to tubulin proteins and prevents microtubules from elongating. What effect might this have on d
lianna [129]

The effect Colchicine might have on dividing cells is that the duplicated chromosomes might not be able to segregate into daughter nuclei.

Colchicine is an alkaloid that attaches to tubulin and prevents it from polymerization to microtubules. As we know that Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton of a cell that aids in molecular mobility inside the cell.

During cell division, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, which are then connected to microtubules. The chromosomes are separated into daughter cells by microtubules.

When these cells are treated with colchicine, tubulin polymerization to microtubules may not occur, and the chromosomes containing daughter nucleic might not be separated.
