What role does the environment play in defining the appearance of an organism?

2 answers:

An organism naturally adapts to it's environment. Organisms have to adapt to survive to live in a certain environment. Their outside appearance and physical features depends on how they get their food, how they protect themselves from predators, and how they keep their body warm or cold in that climate. This kind of goes with the idea of natural selection. Natural selection is when animals adapt to changes over time by reproducing and creating genetic variations in their offspring. For example, if there are two types of rabbits. One rabbit is black and the other is white. These rabbits live in a very cold place where there is a lot of snow. The predators have been eating most of the black rabbits since, they are easily seen. The white rabbits will keep on reproducing, while the black rabbits population will decrease. After a while the black rabbits will be no more and a new generation of white rabbits will be able to survive and thrive.

An organism grows to its environment, also known as adaptation. Organisms will adapt to their surroundings for survival. For example some paramecium is a small single celled fresh water animal, they are covered in cilia so that they could move through the pond water more effectively. Hope this helps.

4. Define resistance and describe what would happen to a light bulb if the voltage increased but the resistance stayed the same.

Arlecino [84]

Current would increase proportionally to voltage. Power dissipation (heating) would increase with the square of the voltage. And resistance means, "the refusal to accept or comply with something"

What current is needed to generate the magnetic field strength of 5.0×10−5T at a point 1.5 cm from a long, straight wire? Expres

mixer [17]

Answer:

3.7 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Magnetic field strength, B = 5 * 10^(-5) T

Distance of magnetic field from wire, r = 1.5 cm = 0.015 m

The magnetic field, B, due to a current, I, flowing a wire is given as:

B = (μ₀*I) / 2πr

Where μ₀ = permeability of free space

To get the current, I, we make I the subject of the formula:

I = (2πr * B) / μ₀

I = (2 * 3.142 * 5 * 10^(-5)) / (1.25663706 × 10^(-6))

I = 3.7 A

Answer:

The displacement in t = 0,

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Explanation:

Given f = 40 Hz , A = 0.25m , μ = 0.02 kg / m, T = 20.48 N

v = √ T / μ

v = √20.48 N / 0.02 kg /m = 32 m/s

λ = v / f

λ = 32 m/s / 40 Hz = 0.8

K = 2 π / λ

K = 2π / 0.8 = 7.854

φ = X * 360 / λ

φ = 0.5 * 360 / 0.8 = 225 °

Using the model of y' displacement

y (t) = A* sin ( w * t - φ )

When t = 0

y (0) = 0.25 m *sin ( w*(0) - 225 )

y (0) = 0.25 * -0.707

y (0) = - 0.18 m

Give the relationship(s) for any pair of protons with the proper term(s). Label – your choice. A.Heterotopic B.Heterotopic, dias

Afina-wow [57]

Answer and Explanation

• Heterotopic protons are those that when substituted by the same substituent, are structurally different. They are not similar, diastereotopic or enantiotopic.

• Diastreotopic protons refers to two protons in a molecule which, if replaced by the same substituent, would generate compounds that are diastereomers. Diastereotopic groups are often, but not always, identical groups attached to the same atom in a molecule containing at least one chiral center.

For example, the two hydrogen atoms of the C3 carbon in (S)-2-bromobutane are diastereotopic (shown in the attached image). Replacement of one hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce (2S,3R)-2,3-dibromobutane. Replacement of the other hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce the diastereomer (2S,3S)-2,3-dibromobutane.

• Homotopic protons in a compound are equivalent protons. Two protons A and B are homotopic if the molecule remains the same (including stereochemically) when the protons are interchanged with some other atom (substituent) while the remaining parts of the molecule stay fixed. Homotopic atoms are always identical, in any environment.

For example, ethane, the two H atoms on C1 and C2 carbons on the same side (as shown in the attached image) are homotopic as they exhibit the phenomenon described above.

• Enantiotopic protons are two protons in a molecule which, if one or the other were replaced (by the same substituent), would generate a chiral compound. The two possible compounds resulting from that replacement would be enantiomers.

For example, in the attached image to this answer, the two hydrogen atoms attached to the second carbon in butane are enantiotopic. Replacement of one hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce (R)-2-bromobutane. Replacement of the other hydrogen atom with a bromine atom will produce the enantiomer (S)-2-bromobutane.

Hope this helps!!!
