2 or more different atoms are combined in definite proportions in any compound.
Answer:
Newton’s second law of motion is more quantitative and is used extensively to calculate what happens in situations involving a force. The greater the force that is applied to an object of a given mass, the more the object will accelerate.
Explanation:
For example, doubling the force on the object doubles its acceleration.
Example 1: Pushing a bicycle or a Cadillac, or stopping them once moving. The more massive the object (more inertia) the harder it is to start or stop.
Answer: the correct answer is d. all of the above must happen for defecation to occur.
Explanation:
In response to the distention of the rectal wall, the receptors send sensory nerve impulses to the sacral spinal cord. Motor impulses from the cord travel along parasympathetic nerves back to the descending colon, sigmoid colon, rectum, and anus. The resulting contraction of the longitudinal rectal muscles shortens the rectum, thereby increasing the pressure within it. This then opens the internal sphincter.
Answer:
Biomimicry is important for animals for survival, as looking like a known dangerous animal can lower its chances for being attacked. An example is the monarch butterfly, and its mimicked viceroy butterfly, having nearly identical wings.

Magnetic Striping<span>
</span><span>The confirmation of the theory of plate tectonics relies on key insights and scientific experimentation. One of these is the knowledge of the magnetic properties of ocean crust.</span><span>Early in the 20th century, Bernard Brunhes in France and Motonari Matuyama in Japan recognized that rocks generally belong to two groups based on their magnetic properties. One group known as normal polarity has within its mineral composition a polarity similar to the Earth’s magnetic north. The magnetic properties of the other group, called reversed polarity, is the opposite of the Earth’s present day magnetic field. The reason, tiny grains of magnetite found within the volcanic basalt that make up the ocean floor behave like little magnets. These grains of magnetite can align themselves with orientation of the Earth’s magnetic field. How? As magma cools, it locks in a recording of the Earth’s magnetic orientation or polarity at the time of fooling. </span><span>The Earth’s magnetic field is similar to the field generated by a bar magnet with its north end nearly aligned with the geographic North Pole. Yet the Earth’s field is the result of a more complex, dynamic process: the rotation of the planet’s fluid iron rich core. Scientists have known for centuries that the Earth’s magnetic field is dynamic and evolving. The magnetic field drifts slowly westward at a rate of 0.2 degrees per year. </span><span>However, over tens of thousands of years, this field undergoes far more dramatic changes known as magnetic reversals. During this reversal, south becomes north and north south apparently in a geological blink of an eye – perhaps over a period of a few thousands years. What these reversals recorded were stripes on seafloor maps-- stripes of alternating normal and reversed polarities of ocean crust. These “stripes” formed the pattern known as magnetic striping.</span><span>The ocean floor had a story to tell. That story would unfold in the work of three scientists. In 1962, two British scientists, Frederick Vine and Drummond Mathews, and Canadian geologist Lawrence Morley working independently suspected that this pattern was no accident. They hypothesized that the magnetic striping was produced from the generation of magma at mid-ocean ridges during alternating periods of normal and reversed magnetism by the <span>magnetic reversals </span>of the Earth’s magnetic field. </span>
