List properties Shared by Metalloids and Nonmetals. Thank you!

1 answer:

8 0

The chemical elements can be broadly divided into metals, metalloids and nonmetals according to their shared physical and chemical properties. All metals have a shiny appearance (at least when freshly polished); are good conductors of heat and electricity; form alloys with other metals; and have at least one basic oxide. Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides. Most or some elements in each category share a range of other properties; a few elements have properties that are either anomalous given their category, or otherwise extraordinary.

Answer:

Point A - Intrusive igneous rock

Point B - Extrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

Intrusive igneous rocks are rocks which is formed by molten magma that cools and solidifies below and within the surface of the earth, thereby forming large crystals beneath the earth surface. Examples of Instrusive igneous rocks gabbro, granite, peridotite etc.

Intrusive Ignoeus rock is formed at point A in the diagram given above.

Extrusive Ignoeus rock, on the other hand, is the opposite of Intrusive igneous rock. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when molten rocks, called magma, erupts from beneath the earth and cools and solidifies on the surface of the earth, thereby forming small crystallized rocks. Examples of extrusive igneous rocks are basalt, pumice, etc.

Extrusive Ignoeus rocks would formed at point B in the diagram above.

What happens to the abundance of angiosperm and gymnosperm pollen fossils at the kt boundary?

dimaraw [331]

The KT boundary marks a mass extinction event. the KT boundary is the time between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. An asteroid hit the earth at the end of the Cretaceous and that caused the end of the Cretaceous period. Before the KT boundary, pollen from angiosperms and gymnosperms is high. After the meteor hits the earth, a mass extinction occurs and the amount of pollen from gymnosperms and angiosperms decreases dramatically, while the amount of spores from ferns increases. During the Cretaceous period there were many species of gymnosperms and angiosperms but they disappeared at the KT boundary, when the asteroid hit the earth.

categorize the following characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria.

Ghella [55]

The categorization of the characteristics based on whether they are describing chloroplasts or mitochondria are as follows:

Mitochondria: carry out cellular respiration.
Chloroplasts: carry out photosynthesis.
Mitochondria: found in plant and animal cells.
Chloroplasts: produce carbohydrates used as source of food for most living things.
Mitochondria: abundant in human muscle cells.
Chloroplasts: not found in animal cells.
Chloroplasts: contain chlorophyll.

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is found within the body of an organism.

Some examples of cell organelles that are found in the body of an organism include the following:

Mitochondria.
Nucleus.
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Vesicles.
Cytoplasm.
Cell membrane.
Chromosome.
Golgi apparatus (bodies).
Chloroplast

<h3>What is mitochondria?</h3>

Mitochondria can be defined as one of the cell organelles that is found in the body of a living organism.

Also, mitochondria is known as the powerhouse because it is saddled with responsibility of providing all the energy required in the cell, especially by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions.

Can genetic mutations benefit an organism? Explain your answer.

pochemuha

There are several mutations that benefit the organism.A well known example is the antibiotic resistance developed by bacteria, which aid in their survival even when they are exposed to a given antibiotic. A single gene mutation in wild almond trees resulted in a variety that no longer synthesizes amygdalin.
