Answer:

functional groups

Explanation:

Functional groups are molecules with specific atoms and have their own chemical properties when attached to some other substances. Glucose is a simple sugar and has an aldehyde group (CHO) as its functional group. The presence of CHO in it makes it be present in food without any harmful impacts. On the other hand, hexanoic acid has COOH (carboxylic group) as its functional group. COOH group has a tendency to donate its protons and become ionized. It is toxic as it is reactive and tends to affect the pH of the food or solution in which it is present.

1. Why is California at hingher for earthquakes than North Dakota
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

because California is located on the San Andreas Fault

Explanation:

California is one of the states that have higher seismic activity because it lies on an individual fault known as the San Andreas Fault. Faults are regions where two tectonic plates are moving with respect to one another, thereby they are prone to suffer earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault is a continental fault that extends approximately 800 miles (1,200 kilometers) through the US state. Conversely, earthquakes in North Dakota are uncommon because this state is located in the middle of a tectonic plate. The last earthquake in North Dakota had a magnitude of 3.3 (Richter Scale) and it happened almost 10 years ago (2012), in Williston.

Which of the following was the most likely effect of the Industrial Revolution on peppered moths in cities?
jeka57 [31]
The answer is d. The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.

<span>Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection. During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.</span>
