Biology

DanielleElmas [232]3 years ago

Bones are made up of Calcium Phosphate given by the chemical formula, Ca_{3}(PO_4)_2. When bones are kept in Hydrochloric acid, given by the chemical formula, HCl, they become soft because the calcium compound present in the bones changes its form. The following double displacement reaction takes place when the bones are kept in HCl,

Ca_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} + HCl ---> CaCl_{2} + H_{3}PO_{4}

Calcium chloride is water soluble, and gets washed away. This makes the bone thin and soft.

What happens to the abundance of angiosperm and gymnosperm pollen fossils at the kt boundary?
dimaraw [331]
The KT boundary marks a mass extinction event. the KT boundary is the time between the Cretaceous and Tertiary periods. An asteroid hit the earth at the end of the Cretaceous and that caused the end of the Cretaceous period. Before the KT boundary, pollen from angiosperms and gymnosperms is high. After the meteor hits the earth, a mass extinction occurs and the amount of pollen from gymnosperms and angiosperms decreases dramatically, while the amount of spores from ferns increases. During the Cretaceous period there were many species of gymnosperms and angiosperms but they disappeared at the KT boundary, when the asteroid hit the earth.

Describe the relationship between proteins and nucleic acid
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

Proteins and Nucleic Acids are not similar in structure. They look nothing alike, either as large molecules or in terms of their building blocks. While they're both made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, the elements are assembled in vastly different ways. The major relationship between the two has to do with protein production -- DNA contains the information that a cell uses, with the help of RNA, to make protein.
