The answers are;

  1. Carbon dioxide
  2. Chemical weathering
  3. Biological Evolution


1. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mixes with rainwater for form carbonic acid;

CO2 + H2O  H2CO3 (a reversible reaction)

It is a weak acid because it dissociates partly in water with a pH of about 5.



2. Chemical weathering on the marble gravestone is due to rain. The rain is slightly acid because it has to dissolve carbon dioxide to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid dissolves marble  (composed of largely calcium carbonate);

H2CO3 + CaCO3  Ca(HCO3)2 aq (CaHCO2 is soluble)



3. Biological evolution does not affect weathering of rock. Climate does. The higher the temperatures the rainfall, the higher the rate of weathering. Soft rocks like limestone are easily eroded by rainwater that rocks like quartz. The higher the surface area of rock exposed to these elements the higher their rate of weathering.

The varicella virus is a common childhood virus that causes chicken pox. Shingles, a disease also
Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is : It undergoes a lysogenic cycle.

Explanation:

A virus can replicate inside a host cell by two process :

  • Lytic cycle
  • Lysogenic cycle

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA makes copies of itself and manufactures the viral machinery inside the host cell. Eventually, the host cell bursts causing the release of the viruses. In such a condition the varicella virus would cause chicken pox.

In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA of a virus get incorporated into the DNA of the host. The viral DNA might replicate when conditions become favourable and cause diseases. In such a condition, the varicella virus would cause shingles.

Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. 2. Provide an example o
Ganezh [65]

(1)

For unicellular organisms, cell division is important for the reproduction of the population, Unicellular organism mainly use cell division, also called binary fission, for pollution growth. This is because unicellular organisms are only composed of one cell.

Multicellular organisms use cell division for growth and reproduction. Cell division causes increase in the number of cells composing the organism hence its growth in size. Cell division is also used to create gametes that are used in reproduction by fertilization.

(2)

Even in fully developed organisms, cell division is important in tissue repair. In tissue homeostasis, there is a balanced rate of cell division and cell death .  An example in muscles. Due to the stress experienced by muscle cells, they usually have a lower life span and therefore the damaged cells are often replaced with new ones by cell division. This prevents tissue wastage.

(3)

Growth factors signal the growth of a cell. They usually bind receptors on the cell surface and indicate how the cell should grow and divide base don environmental stimuli. An example is during regular exercises. Growth factors indicate that the muscle cells should divide regularly and grow bigger to accommodate the higher stress in the muscles from the workout. This is how your muscles grow bigger and stronger with more exercise.  

(4)

Differentiation of cells occurs through the silencing of some gene allowing the cell to produce particular proteins (and other biomolecules) that align with its functions in the body. This especially critical in multicellular organisms.  An example is that while al the cells in your body have the same DNA, some cells differentiate into liver cells while others into lungs, stomach, heart, and etcetera.
