What’s the difference between grazing and true predation

Chemistry

Mila [183]3 years ago

Answer:

For terrestrial animals, grazing is normally distinguished from browsing in that grazing is eating grass or forbs, and browsing is eating woody twigs and leaves from trees and shrubs. Grazing differs from true predation because the organism being grazed upon is not generally killed.

Which equation is set up correctly to determine the volume of a 1.5 mole sample of oxygen gas at 22°C and 100 kPa?

LenKa [72]

The volume could be calculated by using V = n RT / P 

In which V = Volume
n = number of Moles
R= The Gas constant
T = Temperature (ideally this would be in Kelvin, but i don't see it in the option)
P = Pressure

I believe the answer is

V = (1.5mol) (0.08205 L*kPa/K*mol) (22Celsius)/100 kPa

slader Consider the following reactions: A. uranium-238 emits an alpha particle; B. plutonium-239 emits an alpha parti- cle; C.

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

For A: The equation is $_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: The equation is $_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: The equation is $_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

Explanation:

Alpha decay process is the process in which nucleus of an atom disintegrates into two particles. The first one which is the alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons. This is also known as helium nucleus. The second particle is the daughter nuclei which is the original nucleus minus the alpha particle released.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha$

Beta decay process is defined as the process the neutrons get converted into an electron and a proton. The released electron is known as the beta particle. In this process, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei gets increased by a factor of 1 but the mass number remains the same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta$

For A: Uranium-238 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{92}^{238}\textrm{U}\rightarrow _{90}^{234}\textrm{Th}+_2^4\alpha$

For B: Plutonium-239 emits an alpha particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{94}^{239}\textrm{Pu}\rightarrow _{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_2^4\alpha$

For C: Thorium-239 emits a beta particle

The nuclear equation for this process follows:

$_{90}^{239}\textrm{Th}\rightarrow _{91}^{235}\textrm{Pa}+_{-1}^0\beta$

What causes the sugar to dissolve in water?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Sugar dissolves in water because energy is given off when the slighty polar sucrose molecules form intermoleeular bonds with the polar water molecules.

Which of the following statements is generally TRUE?

Vesnalui [34]

The correct answer is option d, that is, the solubility of a solid is highly dependent on temperature.

Solubility refers to the maximum amount of a component, which will get dissolved in a given concentration of solvent at a particular temperature. The temperature influences the solubility of both gases and solids. The temperature has a direct influence on solubility.

For most of the ionic solids, enhancing the temperature elevates how briskly the solution can be formed. With the increase in temperature, the movement of the solid particles takes place briskly that enhances the chances that they will associate with the majority of the solvent particles. This leads to enhancing the rate at which the solution takes place.

If the potato solution was boiled for 10 minutes and cooled for 10 minutes before being tested, the average time for the disks t

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Option D: More than 30 seconds

Explanation:

The enzyme CATALASE is found in almost all living organisms. CATALASE helps in the decomposition of one substance into another substance. CATALASE will breaks down hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

When the potatoes were boiled it will surely produce no bubbles because the heat would have degrade the enzyme - catalase While the potatoes at room temperature potato produced the most bubbles because catalase works best at a room temperature.

If the potato solution was boiled for 10 minutes and cooled for 10 minutes before being tested, the average time for the disks to float to the surface of the hydrogen peroxide solution would be MORE THAN 30 SECONDS
