Which of the following elements are good insulators?

Biology
2 answers:
Flauer [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

P and S

Explanation:

Phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) both are non-metals. Non-metals are good insulators i.e. they do not let electricity/current pass through them. The reason why non-metals are insulators is because they do not have free electrons in contrast to metals which have free electrons because of which they are good conductors of electricity.

Metals like Li (lithium), Ca (calcium), Ag (silver) and Au (gold) are conductors not insulators. Uranium (U) and thorium (Th) are radioactive but still they are metallic elements so they are not insulators.  

So only option 3rd is right.

In each generation, the wings of experimental fruit flies were clipped short for fifty generations. The fifty-first generation w
Rufina [12.5K]

N an experiment, suppose that the wings of fruit flies were clipped short for fifty generations. The fifty-first generation emerged with normal-length wings. This observation would tend to disprove the idea that evolution is based on

a. inheritance of natural variations

b. inheritance of acquired characteristics

c. natural selection

d. survival of the fittest

Inheritance of acquired characteristics. Thus, option "B" is correct.

<h3 /><h3>What is inheritance of acquired characteristics?</h3>

For fifty generations wings of fruit flies were clipped. Hence they acquired this trait in their lifetime and not genetically. If acquired characteristics were capable of passing on to next generation, 50 generations would have been enough to inculcate this clipped wing trait in fruit flies. Despite it, the fifty-first generation did not have clipped wings.

Hence evolution can not occur without genetic variation. A character simply acquired in a lifetime does not create a difference in germ cells and hence is not enough to be passed on to next generation or cause evolution

Four groups of students plan scientific investigations to answer four questions for the science fair. Which question would most
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the questions asked by the students were as follows:

1. What kind of plant life grows naturally in the town park?

2. Which types of treats do different types of dogs like best?

3. Do different types of grass affect how far a ball rolls?

4. How are the chemicals in different vegetables similar?

The answer is 3

Explanation:

Three types of investigation are used by scientists to solve a problem or answer a question. These questions are: comparative investigation, descriptive investigation and experimental investigation. Experimental investigations are conducted to test the relationship between two variables. In the test, one of the variable is manipulated (independent variable) while the other responds (dependent variable).

In this case involving questions asked for a science fair, HOW DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRASS AFFECT BALL ROLLS is most likely an experimental investigation because it is testing the effects of grass type (independent variable) on ball roll (dependent variable).

Without the rough er cells would ?
Degger [83]
There are two basic types of ER. Both rough ER and smooth ER have the same types of membranes but they have different shapes. Rough ER looks like sheets or disks of bumpy membranes while smooth ER looks more like tubes. Rough ER is called rough because it has ribosomes attached to its surface. 

<span>The double membranes of smooth and rough ER form sacs called </span>cisternae. Protein molecules are synthesized and collected in the cisternal space/lumen<span>. When enough proteins have been synthesized, they collect and are pinched off in </span>vesicles<span>. The vesicles often move to the Golgi apparatus for additional protein packaging and distribution. </span>

Smooth ER (SER)<span> acts as a storage organelle. It is important in the creation and storage of lipids and </span>steroids<span>. Steroids are a type of ringed organic molecule used for many purposes in an organism. They are not always about building the muscle mass of a weight lifter.
