You have conducted an experiment using litterbags to assess the effect of lignin content on leaf decomposition rate. You selecte

d 6 tree species with a range of leaf lignin levels. Which of the following is a plausible prediction for your study?
A. The biomass of leaf litter bags will increase more in plants with higher leaf lignin content.
B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.
C. The leaf litter bags cannot be used to conduct this experiment.
D. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be lower in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Answer:

B. The biomass of leaf litter in the bags will be greater in leaves with higher lignin content after the same length of time.

Explanation:

Lignin is a major, one of the most slowly decomposing components of dead vegetation, including leaf litters. The lignin content has been found to have a high correlation with litter decomposition.

<em>Hence, at the end of the experiment, the litter bag containing leaf litters with higher lignin contents will be expected to weigh more than those with lower lignin contents.</em>

The correct option is B.

Oxygen has 6 valence electrons. How many electrons does an atom of oxygen need to become stable?
icang [17]

Answer:

2 electrons

Explanation:

According to the octet rule, atoms must bond to each other, sharing electrons among themselves in an attempt to complete their valence shell (last layer of the electrosphere). In other words, an atom becomes stable when it has 8 electrons in its valence shell.

Oxygen atoms have six electrons in their valence shell, so to achieve the stability suggested by the octet rule (eight electrons), these atoms share two electrons, forming one oxygen gas (O₂) molecule.

If a person experiences rapid breathing, muscle twitches, and perspiration when trying to quit using illegal opiates, he or she
Nuetrik [128]
<span>This person is experiencing common physical symptoms of what is called "withdrawals". Opiates, when used illegally, can be highly addictive. This drug targets the central nervous system (the brain, cardiovascular and respiratory systems) and contains opioid receptors that receive opiate drugs. Abusing this drug can disrupt a person's brain chemistry, leading to severe physical withdrawal symptoms as listed in the question.</span>
