Answer:

The statement  true about the Mercalli scale is "The scale rates an earthquake according to how much damage it causes."

Explanation:

The Mercalli Scale is a way to rate the earthquakes according  to the level of damage at a given place. It got its name after the Italian seismologist  Giuseppe Mercalli .  The scale has 12 divisions. Lower numbers indicate intensity that is likely felt by people where as the  higher numbers indicates the damage to structures and buildings. The ratings are given in Roman numerals. This scale is presently called as the MMI scale, or the Modified Mercalli scale.

You have an egg that has an internal 7% salt concentration and you put it into a bowl of 3% salt water. What is the tonicity of
igomit [66]

Answer:

Egg is HYPERTONIC

Water in the bowl is HYPOTONIC

The egg will become filled with water over time

Explanation:

Tonicity refers to the ability of an extracellular solution to direct the flow of a solvent (water) in and out a cell. There are three types of tonicity; hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. A solution is said to be HYPERTONIC when the concentration of solute in it is higher than its external solution. This is the case of the egg cell that contains 7% salt (solute).

A HYPOTONIC solution is that which contains a lower solute concentration than it's external solution. This is the case of the water in the bowl that contains 3% salt concentration.

Tonicity determines which direction osmosis occurs. Osmosis is the movement of solvent/water from a region of high solvent concentration/low solute to a region of low solvent concentration/high solute concentration via a semi-permeable membrane. In this case, water (solvent) will move through the egg cell membrane (semi-permeable membrane) from the bowl with a low solute concentration into the egg with a high solute concentration. Hence, over time, the egg cell will be filled with water.

Based on what you learned in Virtual Lab on hypertension which of the following combinations will likely lead to hypertension
kumpel [21]
There are no given choices nor a description on what has taken place in the Virtual Lab, however, possible reasons or combinations leading to hypertension are:

a. genetics and lifestyle - if a person has keens that have this disease and he does not maintain a positive lifestyle he is predisposed to this disease. 
b. stress and environment - if a person is constantly exposed to a stressful situation, this could have an effect on his blood pressure, thus leading to hypertension.

1. What element has 81 protons in the nuclei of its atoms?
lakkis [162]
A little trick i learnt: The atomic number reflects how many electrons there are, and there must be an equal charge. therefore, there are the same amount of protons as there are electrons. so if it has 81 protons, we look for number 81 in the periodic table, Thallium
