Answer
Correct answer is :It has two elements
Explanation
A binary compound is a compound that is made up of two of the elements in the periodic table. Some examples of binary compounds are 
and 
. This means that a binary compound can have more than 2 atoms as in the case of hydrogen oxide. Some binary compounds are ionic as in the case of sodium chloride.This shows that they do not necessarily have to have covalent bonds. This also rules out the possibility that they may always have double bonds as ionic compounds are bound together by ionic bonds. The only thing that will always be true of binary compounds is that they will always have 2 elements.
<span>The </span>organs which are are responsible for the soil to pass between an earthworm's mouth and anus is castings.
Castings have an essential impact to the processes including the passing
between the earthworms. They also define life and take part on the living
process of this organism.
Answer:
b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity
Explanation:
The complete question is as follows:
What best explains snowshoe hare and lynx population cycles?
a. the seasonal trends in food availability
b. the interaction of food availability and predation intensity
c. natural variation in the number of lynxes born
d. the population density of snowshoe hares
- The population of snowshoe hare and lynx are closely linked to each other and this is because the primary food of lynx is the snowshoe hare.
- When the number of hares is more lynx eat more of hares and less of other food and when the number of hares is scarce, lynx eat alternate food.
- However, in the scarcity of hares, the other foods do not provide lynx with their nutritional needs and therefore, many of them leave their home grounds.
- Therefore, when the hare number declines lynx number also declines.
- The population cycle spans over 8-11 years.
- The number of hares decreases at the end of the cycle and so does the number of lynx.
- However, at the beginning when the number of the hare is more, they starve due to competition and are easily caught by the lynx and thus, the lynx population also increases.
Answer:
The urinary system consists of the ureters, kidneys, bladder, and urethra, also known as the renal system or urinary tract. It performs several functions including:
1. Regulate blood volume and pressure: change the amount of water lost in urine, EPO (more bone marrow activates RBC) and Renin
2. Regulate concentrations of plasma ions: monitors potassium, sodium, and chloride ions lost through urine and calcium ion levels by calcitriol synthesis (osteoclast activity and prevents urinary loss)
3. Helps to regulate blood pH: monitor hydrogen ion loss and bicarbonate ions in urine
4. Conserve essential nutrients: preventing nutrient excretion when excreting agricultural wastes
5. Help to detoxify toxins in the liver
Geologists have known for about 100 years that the Earth is composed of four layers; the Crust, the Mantle, the Outer Core, and the Inner Core .
Scientists still argue about the makeup of these layers and exactly how each layer interact with the other layers. We are not even sure how the layers were formed but we have some theories.
Because we can not go to the center of the earth we have to find our answers otherwise.
<span>This is what a geologist by the name of Andrija Mohorovicic did. He discovered in 1909 that earthquake waves near the surface moved slower than earthquake waves that passed through the interior of the Earth. He also noticed that the P (primary, first and strongest) waves that passed through the interior of the Earth did not do so in a straight line. These waves were bent or deflected by something! </span>
What the scientist knew was that waves of all kinds move faster and straighter through denser, more solid objects.
<span>So Mohorovicic came to the conclusion that the outside layer or Crust was made of less dense material (Rock) and the next layer, the Mantle was much denser. This would explain why the earthquake waves moved slower through the crust. </span>
<span>So by looking at the seismic waves from earthquakes the scientist learned about the crust and the mantle but they also learned about the outer and inner core. </span>
To do this you have to look at a different kind of waves, the S (secondary waves) waves that also get released by an earthquake. These S waves are slower.
<span>Beno Gutenberg , a German geologist, believed that the Outer Core must be made of a liquid because the slower S waves could not pass through this layer and in fact "bounced off" and were deflected many degrees off course. </span>
<span>The fourth layer, the Inner Core, is composed of very, very hot metals (iron and nickel) with pressures so great that the metals do not flow as a liquid, but are forced to vibrate in place like a solid. </span>
<span>Earthquake waves that reach this layer move at the greatest speeds because waves move through solids faster than through gases and liquids. </span>
This is how we know that there have to be different layers. Otherwise the behavior of the different seismic waves would not make sense.
