Answer: Carbon is the most important element in organic compounds, which means that life on earth is possible thanks to this atom and its characteristics. Below you can see some of the ones I consider to be the most relevant

Explanation: Carbon atom has 6 protons and 6 neutrons in its nucleus, and that nucleus is surrounded by 6 electrons. Those electrons are distributed two in their first level (called s) and four in their second level (called p).

It is tetravalent, because it has 4 electrons orbiting its last energy level, which can be combined with other atoms, even with another carbon atom forming covalent bonds. , present in all the organic compounds.

Thanks to these electrons, it can form three hybridizations or types of junctions; single, double or triple. This is important for molecular geometry: the single bond determines the formation of a tetrahedron, with angles of 109.5 ° , the double bond determines the formation of a flat triangular structure, with 120 ° angles  and the triple bond determines the formation of a linear structure, with 180.

This are some of the most importan characteristics tha make Carbon a unique element.

Arrange the tiles to show the sequence of the steps in a scientific investigation,
Otrada [13]

Answer:

correct sequence:

make an observation

ask questions

construct a hypothesis

test the hypothesis

analyze the results and make conclusions

communicate the results

Explanation:

Scientific method is a set of steps made in order to perform a proper and valid scientific investigation.

Everything starts with an observation, finding something unusual or interesting that we want to test. After choosing our field of interest, we continue to ask a question; why is something the way it is and what is the reason for that?

Every question needs an answer so we propose a possible answer or a hypothesis. Of course, this doesn't have to be correct or final explanation, but it will be the answer which will we put to the test.

After constructing a hypothesis, we need to test it through researching or experimenting in which we will obtain some date.

Results of our experiment in the form of data must be analyzed and used to confirm or denied.

These results, whatever they may be, will help us to make a conclusion which we'll finally communicate, showing it to the other researchers.

Describe the function of each organelle.
Elis [28]

Answer:

Cytoplasm: Fluid between the cell membrane and the nucleus. helps protect organelles

Nucleus: A part of the cell containing hereditary information and is responsible for growth and reproduction; the "command center" of the cell.

Ribosome: A small particle in the cell that can make proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: A cell structure that forms a maze of passageways in which proteins and other materials are carried from one part of the cell to another.

Golgi Apparatus: A cell structure that helps make and package materials to be transported out of the cell or for storage inside the cell.

Lysosome: Cell organelle filled with enzymes needed to break down certain materials in the cell, such as large food particles or old parts of the cell. May be found only in animal cells.

Vacuole: Saclike storage structure in the cell. can store water, nutrients, and even toxic substances.

Mitochondrion: An organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy. (Metabolism/respiration)

Chloroplast: An organelle found in the cells of plants and some other organisms that captures the energy from sunlight and converts it into chemical energy (photosynthesis).

Cell membrane: The thin, flexible barrier around a cell; controls what enters and leaves the cell.

Cell wall: The structure outside of the cell membrane that is used to provide support and protection. Present in plants, algae, fungi, and many prokaryotes.

An animal traveling at 3mm/h east increased his velocity to 5 mm/h east in one hour. What was the animal’s acceleration?
Degger [83]

Answer:

An animal traveling at 3mm/h east increased his velocity to 5 mm/h east in one hour. What was the animal’s acceleration?

Acceleration= velocity/time

velocity=5mm= 0.005m

time= 1 hour= 60 seconds

A= 0.005/60

Acceleration= 0.000083m/s square
