Answer: Cognitive dissonance

Explanation: Cognitive dissonance transpires when an individual carries two or more mutually opposed notions, impressions or standards of behavior or partakes in an activity that goes contrary to any of the aforementioned and in that case undergoes a feeling of strain and tension for that reason. However, when both activity or notions are not done in the same way to be accurate, the individuals involved tend to do everything within their reach to amend them until they match uniformly which we can see in this case.

Answer:

Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance occurs when a

person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values, or

participates in an action that goes against one of these three, and

experiences psychological stress because of that. According to this

theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent

with each other, people do all in their power to change them until

they become consistent. The discomfort is triggered by the

person's belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein

they try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their

discomfort.

From the above, you'd realize that the American's were suffering from cognitive dissonance because prior to the Iraq war only 38% of Americans said the war was justified even if Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction.

When no such weapons were found after the war, 58% of Americans then supported the war.(Here, new information surfaces,it clashes with their previous beliefs and their views changes)

Answer:

Monomer: 2 - Amino acid

                 3 -Nucleotide

Polymer: 1 - Cellulose

               3 - Nucleic acids

Example: 1 - Carbohydrates

               2 -  Collagen

Function 1: Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.

Function 2: Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.

Function 3: DNA is a protein structure that carries instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. It is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things, its main role is the long-term storage of information

Explanation:

Monomers are single molecules that can bond with identical molecules to form polymers.

1. Glucose can combine with other glucose molecules to form starch or cellulose which results in formation of carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are a source of energy in the body.

2. Amino acids can combine with other amino acids to form a protein chain which results in formation of collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body. It's a long, fibrous structural protein that supports tissues and gives structure to individual cells. Collagen fibers are tough and found in bundles. They providing tensile strength to the tissues containing them.

3. Nucleotides can combine to form nucleic acids resulting in formation of enzymes.

DNA is a protein structure that carries instructions needed for an organism to develop, survive and reproduce. It is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things, its main role is the long-term storage of information

3. In what landscape feature are metamorphic rocks generally found?​
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Although metamorphic rocks typically form deep in the planet's crust, they are often exposed on the surface of the Earth. This happens due to geologic uplift and the erosion of the rock and soil above them. At the surface, metamorphic rocks will be exposed to weathering processes and may break down into sediment.

dolphi86 [110]

Despite their seemingly simple anatomy and radial symmetry Sea urchins and sea star are a type of deuterostome, closely related to the chordates.

What are the characteristics of deuterostome?

Animals classified as deuterostomes share a common embryonic development.

The first opening during development known as the blastopore changes to the anus in deuterostomes while the mouth changes in protostomes.

They have a coelom, which forms as a result of enterocele (coelom from the digestive tract).

These creatures include the following,

- Chordata,

- Echinodermata,

- Hemichordata.

Hence the correct answer is Deuterostome.
