<em>"The Electoral College", </em>set out in Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution, allows states to have the same power of votes in spite of their number of population.

Due to that, a party could outcast the presidential candidate they don't want, even if such candidate was elected by the majority.

The parties nominate electors, usually by a central committee or the conventions; so when voters cast their ballot for President, they are actually voting for their <em>"State's Electors"</em>, who are not obliged to follow the results of the popular vote, thus sometimes <em>“faithless electors”</em> adversely choose a candidate they're not committed to.

A <em>"faithless elector</em><em>"</em> is simply a member of the "<em>Electoral College</em>" who votes against the party's candidate.

Thereby the answer is (B): <em>"It allows for faithless electors, or electors who do not vote according to the wishes of their states"</em>

Anthropologists believe that one selective pressure for the evolution of bipedalism was that walking on two feet is more energy

arsen [322]

It is true that Anthropologists believe that one selective pressure for the evolution of bipedalism was that walking on two feet is more energy efficient than walking on four feet.

<h3>The advantages</h3>

Bipedalism authorized hominids to free their arms totally, enabling them to make and use mechanisms efficiently, stretch for fruit in trees and utilize their hands for social display and transmission.

<h3>Which of the following is a disadvantage to the development of bipedalism?</h3>

Bipedalism has placed a burden on humans' circulatory systems, which are needed to pump blood from the heart to the head and the feet. One consequence of this overworking of the circulatory system is swelling, or varicose, veins.

Discuss and distinguish the three different, nonscientific ways of learning about the world around you . Share examples of each

Nina [5.8K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The three different, nonscientific ways of learning about the world around you could be the following: experience, common sense, family oral traditions.

My examples are the following.

Experience. I think this is the best way to learn about real-life issues. You can read books, listen to teachers at school, but to truly learn you need to live, to experience. There is nothing like this. Theory can teach you up to a limit, but when you live it, you understand causes, decisions, and consequences.

Common sense. You logically think about what is the common thing to decide or do in any given situation. For example, what to do when someone is lying on the floor, you immediately ask for help or call 911.

Family oral traditions are what mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma teach you since you are a child

The limitations of these nonscientific ways of learning about the world around you are that not everybody has the same background, culture, traditions, and belief systems; which means everybody has different criteria of what is good or bad for them.

Petronio says that ownership and control of private information don't always go together. Can you imagine a situation where you

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Following are the response to the given question:

Explanation:

In terms of ownership and confidentiality, Petronio is perfectly right. Perhaps one of my situations in life is indeed the possession of old objects which were transmitted by generations. All of these are those that have gone through generations lawfully and now are entrusted to us. According to the national legislation on such antics, it is required to be handed to the government for use inside the museum. Nevertheless, a few of my cousins are reluctant to do so as well because they strongly believe in the soul and history of my ancestors. They believe that we deserve these to be placed with us and shall not go for legal proceedings as they fear in ourselves losing the case and these valuables. Therefore the secret present within us which can bring fame and money to our family is left as it is in the form of preserving legacy and respect to forefathers. This situation is never under my control as the hard work, sweat, and blood of many people lie behind these valuables.

In the deep ocean layers where the sunlight does not reach, these organisms ______________ use sulfides from the hydrothermal ve

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

In the deep ocean layers where the sunlight does not reach, these organisms that are chemoautotrophic use sulfides from the hydrothermal vents to perform chemosynthesis instead of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Chemoautotrophic organisms are the ones that are adapted to the absence of sunlight. Such organisms identify electron donors in their vicinity and derive energy from the oxidation reactions that these electron donors (mostly, inorganic compounds) undergo.

The major reason for the development of such a trait in these organisms is the depth that they live at. On deep-sea floors, there is an abundance of sulfides. Thus, the organisms living on there make use of the sulfides to fix carbon and obtain energy the required energy to sustain.

The process of chemosynthesis occurring on deep-sea floors due to the presence of carbon, sulfides, and oxygen culminates in the production of organic materials as an end result which the organisms feed on and sustain even when there is no sunlight available. These organisms majorly belong to the bacteria species called Archaea and Extremophiles.
