8 0

Given question is incomplete as it lacks the group of choices. However, the group of choices associated with the question is as follows:

1. Organisms must display variation.

2. A trait must increase reproduction.

3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

4. A trait must increase survival.

5. A trait must be able to be passed on to future generations.

Answer:

The correct answer is : option 3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

Explanation:

The process that leads to change or adaption in the species or a population of the organism known as natural selection. In this process population exhibits the variation in the population due to the change or adaption.

This variation refers to the better traits and increased reproductive ability, suited to the environment than others which is also known as survival of the fittest as they increase their survival in comparison to the other population or species. Natural selection carries traits that are passed on to one generation to another.

Thus, the correct answer is option Is : 3. A trait must directly affect metabolism.

Select True or False: Using your knowledge of osmosis or osmotic pressure decide if the following statement is true or false: Wh
Inessa [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Osmosis refers to the movement of water particles from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration.

When sprinkled with sugar, a dish of sliced fruit will form its own juice. This is because the sprinkled sugar has a higher concentration which explains why water moves out from the fruit with a lower concentration to dilute the sugar which has a higher concentration.

The decimal reduction time (DRT) to kill 90% of cell present for autoclaving a culture is 1.5 minutes. How long would it take to
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

10.5minutes

Explanation:

DRT = 90%

Cells present = 10^6

Autoclaving = 1.5 minutes

Solution:

10^6(1.5)10^5(1.5)10^4(1.5)10^3(1.5)10^2(1.5)10^1(1.5)10^0(1.5)0=10.5

it would take it approximately 10.5 minutes to kill 10^6 of the cells.

If i should stop the heating process at 9 minutes this would have effect on some of the microbes as they are still present with 1 bacterium left which makes it not efficient.

1. Why do scientists use the scientific method? *
jeka94

1. Answer: to answer questions about the natural world

The aim of scientific method is to answer a question that the scientist have. To answer the question, the scientist need to design a research or observation. If the research is flawed, the result might not match with the scientist aim and the conclusion will be wrong. Scientific method can be used to help design the research so it will have less flaw


2. Answer: fertilizer

The student wants to determine the effect of a certain brand of liquid fertilizer on the growth of ivy. The fertilizer are hoped to influence the growth of the ivy. Independent variable is the variable that hoped to influence the dependent variable. So, the independent variable would be fertilizer.

3. Answer: soil; light

Control variable is the variable that could influence the independent variable, but doesn't want to be observed. Control variable should be made same so it wont influence the result.  In this case, the plant use the same amount of soil. The plant also put in front of a same window, so they should get the same amount of sunlight.


4. Answer: Humidty

The scientist wants to determine if humidity affects chirping in crickets. The humidity hoped to affects the chirping in crickets. Independent variable is the variable that hoped to influence the dependent variable. So, the humidity is independent variable while the number of chirping is the dependent variable.

5. Answer: dependent variable

The scientist is testing the efficiency of various microwaves by measuring the temperature of water. The microwaves is hoped to influence the temperature of the water. So, the temperature would be the dependent variable of the experiment and the microwaves will be the independent variable


6. Answer: water; air; soil


Abiotic factor consist of factor that made of non-living things. Water, air and soil is not a living things. Animals like elephant should be clearly living so they are biotic factor. Grass and tree could not move freely like animal and hard to determine if still living or not, but they should be considered as living thing.

7. Answer: an alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer; an alligator suns itself on the shore to raise its body temperature.

If a bird picks food from alligator teeth, it would be interaction of biotic factor with biotic factors. Alligator trying to control their body temperature by sunbath or submerge would be interaction between abiotic factor(sunlight, water) with biotic factor(alligator). Oxygenated water is interaction between abiotic factor(water) with abiotic factor(air/oxygen).

8. Answer: strong adhesion

Water has high heat capacity  which makes it temperature hard to changes. It will need more energy/heat to change the temperature of water when compared to air. Adhesion of water makes it could stick to other things while cohesion makes the water stick to itself. The force that cause molecules of water to stick to the sides of a drinking straw would be adhesion.

9. Answer: 14

oxygen has atomic number 8 and atomic mass of 14. The atomic number show the amount of proton and electron that the oxygen has while the atomic mass show the sum of proton and neutron. The number of protons and neutrons in stable oxygen would be 14, same as the atomic mass.

10.  Answer: protons; neutrons


Protons and neutrons could be found in the nucleus of the atom while the electron is orbiting in the outer layer. The mass of the atom mostly contributed by the protons and neutrons while the electron is too small and their mass is negligible.

11. Answer:  ions are atoms with extra electrons or too few electrons; isotopes are atoms with extra neutrons or too few neutrons; isotopes are radioactive

When an atom has less electron it will be called cation while the atom with more electron called anion. Isotopes have different number of neutrons which make some of them become radioactive. Isotope should have the same number of electrons.

12. Answer: it has 4 valence electrons, so it can make 4 strong bond with other atoms.

Carbon made most of the organic compound. Carbon can be found in carbohydrate, protein and lipid. It has 4 valence electrons which enable 4 slot of covalent bond with oxygen and hydrogen which allow those 3 molecule to have many type of bonds.

13. Need image to answer

14. Answer: The compound has different properties, because the bonds cause structural changes of the elements

Compound will have different properties compared to the element that makes it. Table salt is made of natrium and chlorine atom. The natrium element will explode when exposed to water while natrium chloride is found most in the sea.

15. Answer: exothermic

Reaction that produce energy will be called exothermic while reaction that absorb energy called endothermic. If the reaction cause light and explosion, then the reaction should produce energy and called exothermic. The ion or compound should have no relation in this.
