The purpose of a dichotomous key is to identify organisms

Explanation:

A dichotomous key is a kind of a tool that guides to classify and identify different organisms.

This key as the name indicates - dichotomous- consists of two parts or options to identify a species.

The method utilizes a series of questions/answers with two possible outcomes.

Taxonomically, a dichotomous key is used to basically identify a species or an organism by its scientific name.

All of the natural elements like the plants, animals, birds, etc are identified using this key.

Types of dichotomous key includes nested, linked, branching tree etc.

How has globalization resulted in increasing environmental damage around the world?
beks73 [17]
I would say A.
 B and C can be eliminated because they have to do with using resources more efficiently. Now we're down to A and D, and of the two, I'd say A is most plausible. Globalization is the connection of the world with each other. With all this technology, companies see endless possibilities to sell their products. They use more and more natural resources, which can deplete those resources quickly.

What element is this? how do you know?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

Helium

Explanation:

We know that this atom has two positive particles on the nucleus (protons) with two neutral particles (neutrons). We can also see that it hass two electrons on the orbitals. Knowing this, we can say that the element is Helium.

Helium has a relative atomic mass of 4 and it's atomic number is 2. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons and electrons the atom has, and the atomic mass can be used to calculate the number of neutrons:

Relative atomic mass = Neutrons + atomic number

So we know that:

Neutrons = relative atomic mass - atomic number

Neutrons = 4 - 2 = 2.
