timofeeve [1]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: Option (C)

Explanation: The rocks at the continental crust are present since a long time, and the oldest rocks so far encountered from the continental crust is approximately 4.4 billion years old.

          This has been determined by the Uranium-Lead dating method (Ur₂₃₈-Pb₂₀₆).

Oceanic rocks are estimated to be of very recent age i.e about only 180 million years old.

Alyssa investigates properties of matter. The answer to which question would best
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

A) What is the radius of each particle of the substance?

B) Does the substance contain more than one type of atom?

C) Was a chemical reaction necessary to create the substance?

D) What is the electrical charge of the particles of the substance?

The answer is B

Explanation:

In chemistry, an element is a substance made up of a single type of atom i.e. only one atom of the same type constitutes an element while a compound is a substance that contains two or more different elements. If a compound contains different elements, it means that a compound will certainly contain more than one type of atom.

According to this question, the best question to ask when Alyssa wants to differentiate between an element and a compound is: DOES THE SUBSTANCE CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF ATOM?

- If the answer is yes, the substance is a COMPOUND

- If the answer is no, the substance is an ELEMENT.

How many years would it take the Atlantic Ocean to grow 500 centimeters? Show your work.
dlinn [17]

Answer:

250 years

Explanation:

The Atlantic Ocean is not static, but instead it is very active, and it is actually spreading from its central part. In its central part, this ocean has a mid-ocean ridge. This basically means that there is constant formation of new crust from the magma that comes out, and the old crust is pushed sideways as the new one is formed. On an annual level, the mid-ocean ridge is spreading out by an estimated 0.02 meters, thus that is how much the Atlantic Ocean is spreading out each year. In order to get to the result as to how many years are needed for the Atlantic Ocean to spread 500 cm, we just need to multiply the annual spreading with the number of cm in question:

0.02 x 500 =250

Thus we get a result of 250, meaning that in 250 years the Atlantic Ocean will spread out 500 cm in total.

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Apoprotein

Explanation:

A peptide is a molecule formed as a result of the linking of amino acid molecules by a peptide bond. The peptide is the backbone of polypeptides and subsequently, protein molecules. Enzymes are proteinous molecules that serve as biological catalysts. The prosthetic group of a protein/enzyme is a metallic attachment to the protein, which plays roles that are vital to its functioning.

However, when the peptide portion of a protein molecule lack its prosthetic group, the protein is called an APOPROTEIN.
