An area experiences a long period of drought, forcing towns to pump out almost all of the water held in aquifers. What is the mo

Answer:

The aquifer could dry up.

Explanation:

Aquifers are natural reservoirs of water that can supply the need of the population during continuous dry seasons. These reservoirs of water are generally composed of porous sediments saturated with groundwater, which accumulates by precipitation.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Carbonization is the term for the conversion of an organic substance into carbon or a carbon-containing residue through pyrolysis or destructive distillation. It is often used in organic chemistry with reference to the generation of coal gas and coal tar from raw coal.

What does the process of gene duplication and divergence refer to? (select all that apply)?
Debora [2.8K]

It refers to making or crating new genes in form of mutation in duplicates of old genes. It is also a mechanism in major way through new genetic material is generated during evolution. The duplication happens in event termed unequal crossing over or recombination between misaligned homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

boyakko [2]

Answer:

The correct model is D.

Note: The first attachment below shows the different models. The second attachment shows the correct structural model of the water molecule.

Explanation:

A water molecule is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen.

A water molecule is polar, i.e. it contains positively and negatively opposite ends. The polar nature of the water molecule is due to strong electronegativity of oxygen which results in an uneven sharing of the bonding electrons between oxygen and hydrogen. The oxygen atom attracts the shared electrons more to itself, thereby, it acquires a partial negative charge, while the hydrogen atoms acquire a partial positive charge.

The bond angle between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms is approximately 105°. Therefore, from the first attachment below, the correct model for the water molecule is D.

Create a table in which you compare the components and functions of the following.
Sauron [17]

Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids are the four major types of biomolecules that form all living things. These biomolecules consists of monomers linked together by covalent bonds to form polymers.

  • Nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids can be classified according to their basic elements, monomer constituents, and functions.

Basic elements:

  1. Nucleic acids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Phosphorous (P)
  2. Proteins: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Nitrogen (N); Sulfur (Z)
  3. Carbohydrates: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O)
  4. Lipids: Hydrogen (H); Carbon (C); Oxygen (O); Phosphorous (P)

Monomer constituents:

  1. Nucleic acids: nucleotides
  2. Proteins: amino acids
  3. Carbohydrates: monosaccharides
  4. Lipids: fatty acids and glycerol

Functions:

  1. Nucleic acids: contains the hereditary information to synthesize proteins
  2. Proteins: regulate metabolic processes (enzymes), the main biomolecule of cellular structures
  3. Carbohydrates: store energy (short term); form cellular structures
  4. Lipids: store energy (long term); the main component of biological membranes

Examples:

  1. Nucleic acids: DNA and RNA
  2. Proteins: lactase; collagen
  3. Carbohydrates: starch (polysaccharide); glucose (monosacharide)
  4. Lipids: phospholipids; cholesterol
