Visible light is seen as white light, however, when it passes through a prism, we see multiple colors, why does this happen?

Visible light, also known as white light, consists of a collection of component colors. These colors are often observed as light passes through a triangular prism. Upon passage through the prism, the white light is separated into its component colors - red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. The separation of visible light into its different colors is known as dispersion.

What is the name of the process by which the cytoplasm divides in two?
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Cytokinesis

Explanation:

All living cells undergo division, it is the method employed in duplicating themselves. The division of cells involves two major processes viz; karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

Karyokinensis involves the division of the genetic material (DNA) in the nucleus. The chromosomes are initially separated into opposite poles/ends inside the cell. After which the cytoplasm of the whole cell then separates resulting in two daughter cells each having its own genetic material. This process is called CYTOKINESIS.

Although CYTOKINESIS occurs in all eukarotes and prokaryotes, the way it occurs in the eukaryotic plant and animal cells differ in the sense that, in animals, it occurs with the formation of a cleavage furrow as a result of pinching inward of the cell membrane until the two daughter cells form while in plants, a cell plate is formed at the cell's centre and a new membrabe and cell wall is formed around each cell plate.

If a chemical reaction is reversed, what happens to the enthalpy of the reaction?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:   C. The sign of the enthalpy of the reaction reverses.

Explanation: Enthalpy of a reaction is the net heat absorbed or released  during a chemical reaction.It is represented by \Delta H. It is negative for exothermic reactions in which heat is released and is positive for endothermic reactions in which heat is absorbed.

When a chemical reaction is reversed the heat of the reaction changes its sign.

CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2   \Delta H=+ve

The decomposition of calcium carbonate is an endothermic reaction as heat is required to break the bonds and thus energy is absorbed.

CaO+CO_2\rightarrow CaCO_3    \Delta H=-ve

When the reaction is reversed, the reaction becomes exothermic as now bonds are getting formed and energy is released.
