B. Carbon atoms form the backbones of the organic molecules in

living things.

Explanation:

A. Carbon atoms are found in both living and nonliving things.

Other chemical elements found in organic compounds and living things are also found in nonliving things. Oxygen is found in amino-acids from the proteins which form complex organism and it is also found in the oxides which are found in rocks.

B. Carbon atoms form the backbones of the organic molecules in

living things.

The carbon atoms form carbon chains (backbones of the organic molecules) which with functional groups they become molecules that are found in the living things. Aminoacids form proteins and monozacharides form polysaccharides such as celulose.

C. Carbon atoms have equal numbers of protons and electrons.

All elements in the periodic table have the number of protons equal to the number of protons and electrons.

D. Carbon atoms form bonds with atoms of other elements.

Many elements are able to form bonds with other elements.

A prominence refers to a bright, large, gaseous feature projecting externally from the surface of the Sun, usually in a loop shape. Prominences are attached with the surface of the Sun in the photosphere and elongate outwards into the corona of the Sun.

The prominences are related to the discharge of the high energy constituents called a solar flare. These solar flares have been considered to influence electronic communication as their energy blends up the upper atmosphere of the Earth, making the radio transmissions weak and noisy.

Hence, the correct statements are prominences can disturb radio communications on Earth and prominences are loop-shaped.

A student has been shrunk to a size small enough to be inserted into one of the membrane-bound

yawa3891 [41]

A student who has been shrunk to a size small enough to be inserted into the interior of a chloroplast, who then travels out into the cytosol, will have passed through two plasmatic membranes.

The student in question is placed in the interior of a chloroplast. The anatomy of a chloroplast, in broad terms, contains:

Stroma
Granum
Inner membrane
Outer membrane

These contents have been listed in order from the most interior to the most superficial. The question states that the student is placed in the granum, meaning that he is within the inner membrane. In order to escape into the cytosol, which lies just beyond the outer membrane, he must travel across two plasmatic membranes.

What would occur if sodium channels remained open once membrane depolarization was complete?

Dovator [93]

Answer:

Repolarization would occur.

Explanation:

Sodium channels are found throughout the membrane of cells and they allow and control the flow of the sodium ions in and out of the cell. If sodium channels remained open after depolarization, the ion exchange would start happening in the other direction which is repolarization. The cycle would go on until the channels did not allow the ion transfers.

I hope this answer helps.

Based on your ph testing results, can you categorize either of the microbes as acidophiles, neutrophiles, or alkaliphiles? expla

denis-greek [22]

Bacteria are classified according to the pH range in which they can grow. Neutrophile pH range: 5.5 - 8. Acidophile pH range: 0 - 5.5. Alkaliphiles pH range: 7.5 - 11.

Note: Since I did not find the table 2, I will explain what the classification of bacteria is, and propose examples for you to understand. Then, you will have to make your classification according to the table.

<h3>What is bacteria classification concerning pH?</h3>

Bacteria are cells that have different environmental requirements. Concerning pH, most bacteria have an acidic range in which they can grow keeping constant their internal pH level.

According to their pH requirement, bacteria can be classified as,

Neutrophiles

These cells can grow in environments in which pH is around the neutral pH level ⇒ 5.5 - 8

Acidophiles

These are bacteria that grow in acid environments with pH inferior to the neutral pH level ⇒ 0 - 5.5

Alkaliphiles

These bacteria grow in basic environments with pH superior to the neutral pH level ⇒ 7.5 - 11

Examples,

Bacteria pH range Classification

Escherichia coli 6-8 neutrophiles

Salmonella spp 5-8 neutrophiles

Lactobacillus acidophilus 4-6.5 acidophiles

Vibrio cholerae 8-11 alkaliphiles
