Biology

Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

Answer: Option B.

Minerals can change color base on impurities.

Explanation:

Minerals are naturally occurring inorganic solids that have lattice structure and chemical composition.

Color alone is not reliable to identify minerals because minerals can change color base on impurities. Some minerals may have more than one color.

Minerals can best be identified base on their physical properties which is related to their chemical composition and bonding. Hardness, lustre, cleavage and how it's react to acid can be use to identify minerals.

9. a) How does hydrogen bonding help the transport of water in plants?
grigory [225]

Answer:

Water has a high Cohesion because of Hydrogen bonding. This is important as transport of water in the Xylem in plants relies on water being pulled up. Cohesion also gives the water a high surface tension, allowing small organisms, such as Pond Skaters, to walk along it.

Explanation:

Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.

Plants obtain the hydrogen they need from water molecules. Don't try to feed your plant hydrogen gas -- your plant wouldn't know what to do with it if you did. As long as they have water, plants can readily obtain all the hydrogen they need. :)

Most land-dwelling invertebrates and all of the amphibians _____. _____ Select one: a. are ectothermic organisms with variable b
valkas [14]

Answer:

A.)are ectothermic organisms with variable body temperatures.

Explanation:

Invertebrates animal are animals that lack a backbone, Land invertebrates include insects,spiders, centipedes ,coelenterate, an arthropod, mollusc and the rest.

Ectotherms are also called called cold-blooded animal because their bl body temperature regulation is dependendent on external sources, such as sunlight or a heated rock surface. Some of the examples of ectotherms are fishes, amphibians, invertebratesand reptiles. The aquatic ectotherms body temperature is usually compare closely to the temperature of the surrounding water

Ectothermic species that lives in temperate regions usually experience rapid and potentially stressful changes in body temperature simply because of weather changes even among amphibians there is variation in their temperature

It is believed that naturally occurring periods of temperature variation negatively impact amphibian health.
