During the winter months, water on the surface of a pond will typically freeze and this ice acts as an insulator for the water b

eneath it. As a result, aquatic life is able to survive during the cold winter. The reason that this water expands upon freezing is due to A) the hydrogen bonding that creates its hexagonal shape. B) water molecules being soluble in any polar solvent. C) it's really high heat of vaporization. D) low molecular mass.

The hydrogen bonding that created its hexagonal shape....the molecules get closer together and there will be more hydrogen bonding making it solid

When water freezes, the hydrogen bonding that creates its hexagonal shape causes the water molecules to expand out and take up more volume. As a result, its less dense than liquid water and it floats.

the graph in figure 5.1 shows the growth of a bacterial population which of the following correctly describes the growth curve
defon

The right answer is exponential.

The bacterium multiplies by binary fission: the bacteria grow and then divide into two daughter cells separated by a septum of division formed by the cell wall. During division, the DNA is duplicated as well as the other constituents. Various enzymatic systems of synthesis and degradation participate in cell division.

Bacterial growth is the orderly growth of all components of the bacteria. It results in an increase in the number of bacteria.

During the growth, there is, on one hand, depletion of nutrients in the culture medium and, secondly, an enrichment of by-products of metabolism, potentially toxic. Growth can be studied in a liquid or solid medium.

1 - Growth curve: The growth of a bacterium is studied in a liquid medium. There are 6 phases which together constitute the growth curve.

. Latency phase: the zero growth rate (μ = 0). The duration of this phase depends on the age of the bacteria and the composition of the medium. This is the time required for the bacteria to synthesize the enzymes adapted to the new substrate (no lag phase if transplanting on the same medium as the previous one).

. Acceleration phase: There is an increase in the growth rate.

. Exponential growth: the growth rate reaches a maximum (μ = max). This phase lasts as long as the growth rate is constant. The doubling time of bacteria is the shortest. The cell mass is represented by viable cells (zero mortality).

. Slowing phase: the speed of growth decreases. There is a depletion of the culture medium and an accumulation of waste. There is a beginning of autolysis of bacteria.

. Stationary maximum phase: the growth rate becomes naked (μ = 0). Bacteria that multiply compensate for those that die.

. Decline phase: the growth rate is negative (μ <0). All the nutritional resources are exhausted. There is accumulation of toxic metabolites. There is a decrease in viable organisms and cell lysis under the action of endogenous proteolytic enzymes. However, growth persists by release of substances released during lysis (cryptic growth).

1. In addition to mechanical and chemical digestion of food, the stomach's other major function is: carbohydrate and nucleic aci
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Food storage

Explanation:

Stomach is a small pouch like structure which has the ability to store food temporarily.The storage of the food temporarily takes place in the stomach. The food that we eat reaches to the stomach by the help of food pipe.

Here, the food is stored until it is completely broken down into simpler form and enzymes act on them.

The food is then absorbed in the small intestine. But before this food is temporarily stored in the stomach where all the digestive juices and enzymes come to act on the food.
