What ocean contains most of the worlds active volcanoes?

What term includes all the biotic and abiotic factors in an area

REY [17]

Answer: Ecosystem

Explanation: An ecosystem consists of all the biotic and abiotic factors in an area and their interactions. A niche refers to the role of a species in its ecosystem. A habitat is the physical environment in which a species lives and to which it is adapted.

You've been experiencing acid indigestion lately, and you'd like a quick fix for the problem. You do a little research on the In

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

<em>C: After 1 hour, the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3</em>

Explanation:

The degree of acidity or alkalinity/basicity of a substance is its pH. The value of pH ranges from 1 to 14 with the former being extreme acidity and the latter being extreme alkalinity while pH 7 is considered neutral.

Hence, any pH below 7 is considered acidic and above 7 is considered alkaline.

Reactions involving equal volumes of an acid and a base can end in acidic, alkaline or neutral pH depending on the strength of the acid/base involved;

Equal volumes of strong acid with strong base will result in neutral pH
Equal volumes of weak acid with strong base will result in alkaline pH
Equal volume of strong acid with weak base will result in acidic pH

If substance A and B reacts with equal volume of the same acid under the same condition and the end result of A is a solution with pH of 9.2 and that of B is a pH of 8.3, it simply means substance A is a stronger base than substance B.

<em>Hence, the only outcome that supports the hypothesis that a tablet of PEPCID AC can neutralize more stomach acid than a tablet of Alka-Seltzer is that the pH of the solution in the PEPCID AC beaker was 9.2 and the pH of the solution in the Alka-Seltzer beaker was 8.3 after being subjected to the same condition.</em>

If an indigestion is due to excess stomach acid, the only way to reduce the acidity is to consume a substance that will decrease the degree of acidity in the stomach. This means that the patient will need to consume something that is alkaline in order to increase the pH.

In guinea pigs hair straightness or curliness is thought to be governed by a single pair of alleles showing incomplete dominance

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Frequency of allele S is p $= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q $= 0.666$

The population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

Given -

Number of individuals with straight hair $= 244$

Number of individuals with curly hair $= 444$

Number of individuals with Wavy hair $= 312$

Let "p" represents the frequency for allele for straight hair and "q" represents the frequency for allele for curly hair

$p^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "SS"

$p^{2} = \frac{244}{1000} \\= 0.244$

$q^2$ represents the frequency of genotype "CC"

$p^{2} = \frac{444}{1000} \\= 0.444$

$2pq$ represents the frequency of genotype "SC"

$2pq = \frac{312}{1000} \\= 0.312$

Frequency of allele S is p

$= \sqrt{0.244} \\= 0.4939$

Frequency of allele C is q

tex]= \sqrt{0.444} \\= 0.666[/tex]

For being in Hardy Weinberg's equation-

$p+q=1\\$

Substituting the values in above equation, we get -

$0.4939+0.666\neq 1$

hence, the population is not in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Why are cells so small?

Harrizon [31]

The surface area to the volume ratio gets smaller as the cell gets larger. If the cell grows beyond a certain limit not enough material will be able to cross the membrane fast enough to accommodate the increased cellular volume.

Hope that helps

Rutherford’s theory was identified by

Oksanka [162]

Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.
