Answer:

When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

Which of these pairs indicates an incorrect coupling of reversible reactions?dehydration synthesis and hydrolysisanabolic and ca

Olegator [25]

Answer:

option C= hydrolysis and break down

Explanation:

All other three pairs are correct coupling of each others.

Option A= dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis

Dehydration synthesis:

In dehydration synthesis monomers combine through the covalent bonds and form large molecules. The large molecules are called polymers. The water as a byproduct also released when monomers joints together.

Hydrolysis:

In hydrolysis the polymers are break down into monomers by using water molecules. The catalysts are also required in this process.

Option B= Catabolic and Anabolic

Anabolic:

In this process smaller molecules combine to gather to form large complex molecules by using energy.

For example simple glucose molecules join together to form large disaccharides.

Catabolic:

It is the break down of large complex molecules to the smaller molecules.

For example during cellular respiration sugar molecules break down and generate energy.

Option D= Break down and synthesis

The break down and synthesis are also reverse pair of each others. The synthesis involve the formation of molecules form smaller component while the break down involve destruction of molecules into smaller units.

Why is the vapor pressure of a warm pale higher than the vapor pressure of a cold lake

levacccp [35]

The vapor pressure of a warm pale higher than the vapor pressure of a cold lake because Warm water evaporates more quickly.

Hence, Option B is correct answer.

<h3>What is Evaporation ? </h3>

The process in which a liquid or solid is converted into vapour is called Evaporation. When water gains the heat energy then it changes in to gas. When the temperature increases it speeds up the rate of evaporation.

The temperature of warm water increases, the kinetic energy of the warm water molecule also increases.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say that The vapour pressure of a warm lake is higher than the vapor pressure of a cold lake because Warm water evaporates more quickly.

Hence, Option B is correct answer.
