Pure water has a pH level of 7, which means it is neutral on the pH scale. If you want to increase the pH of water, you must add an alkaline substance to it. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with anything above 7 being alkaline, and anything below 7 being acidic.
Answer:
1 = A
2 = B
3 = B
Explanation:
1) Black holes occur when really big stars collapse on themselves. And, in order to get big, the star has to be an old one.
2) A black hole is something huge that swallows up everything, while a protostar is just the very beginning of a star.
3) Scientist can't truly know for sure, but they can infer about them due to the effects of the surrounding areas.
Answer:
Absorption
Thousands of pores on the surface of the skin can absorb vitamins, acids, water and oxygen in order to provide moisture and nourishment to our skin.
Excretion
The skin is the body’s largest waste removal system. Toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.
Secretion
The skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The layer of sebum on the outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle. When intact the acid mantle has a PH that ranges from 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle is acidic in nature to protect the skin from outside invasion.
Regulation
The skin regulates the body’s temperature by sweating; when water from sweat on the skin evaporates it gives off heat and cools the body. The body’s temperature increases or by shivering or getting goosebumps when the body is cold. The contraction of muscles releases energy that warms the body.
Sensation
The skin contains millions of nerve endings that transport stimuli. These nerve endings allow humans to detect sensation such as heat, cold, pain and pressure.

Answer:
a) 1/2 red, 1/2 pink; b) all pink; c) 1/4 red, 1/2 pink, 1/4 white; d) 1/2 white, 1/2 pink
Explanation:
The flower color trait in snapdragons shows incomplete dominance: the heterozygous genotype produces an intermediate phenotype between the two different homozygous genoytpes.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are:</u>
- R1R1 : red
- R1R2: pink
- R2R2: white
<h3>a. R1R1 X R1R2
</h3>
The R1R1 individual only produces R1 gametes. The R1R2 parent produces 1/2 R1 gametes and 1/2 R2 gametes.
<u>For that reason, the F1 will be:</u>
- 1/2 R1R1 (red)
- 1/2 R1R2 (pink)
<h3>b. R1R1 X R2R2
</h3>
The R1R1 individual only produces R1 gametes. The R2R2 parent only produces R2 gametes.
<u>For that reason, the F1 will be</u> :
<h3>c. R1R2 X R1R2
</h3>
Both parents are heterozygous. This is a monohybrid cross, and from Mendel's Laws <u>we expect the following offspring:</u>
- 1/4 R1R1 (red)
- 2/4 R1R2 (pink)
- 1/4 R2R2 (white)
<h3 /><h3>d. R1R2 X R2R2</h3>
The R1R2 parent produces 1/2 R1 gametes and 1/2 R2 gametes. The R2R2 individual only produces R2 gametes.
<u>For that reason, the F1 will be:</u>
- 1/2 R2R2 (white)
- 1/2 R1R2 (pink)
