Answer:

Option A, B, C

Explanation:

A wave’s highest part is called crest and the lowest part is called trough. The vertical length between the highest and lowest part of wave i.e crest and trough is called wave height. Hence option A is correct. Steepness of waves is defined as the ratio of height of wave to its length i.e wavelength. Hence option b is correct

And the steepness of wave should never exceed the ratio of \frac{1}{7} , if ration exceeds \frac{1}{7}  the wave gets steep and finally breaks down

 

Hence, Option A, B, C  are correct

Answer: Option A,B and C.

Explanation:

A wave is a physical phenomenon that is described as disturbance of one or more field that travels through a medium, transporting energy from a location to the other without transporting matter.

Wave height is the vertical distance from crest to trough.

Wave steepness=wave height ÷ wave length.

If a wave steepness ever exceeds a 1 to 7 ratio, the wave breaks

Both men and women have sex chromosomes. Men usually have one X and one Y chromosome, while women have two X's.

When an egg or sperm is made, it only gets one of the sex chromosomes from the parent. This means that women can only make eggs with an X chromosome. But men can make either X or Y sperm.

During fertilization, the sperm cells race toward the mother-to-be's egg cell. If a sperm with a Y beats all others, then the fetus will be XY. The pregnancy will result in a boy.

However, if a sperm with an X wins the race to the egg, then the fetus will be XX. The parents will have a baby girl.

Nearly everyone's chances are around 50% for having a boy and 50% for having a girl. And yet, we all know families that are all boys or all girls.

Why can carbon form very large molecules?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

(c) It can bond with other carbon atoms that are bonded to other molecules

Explaation;

-Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

-Carbon chains can bond with carbon rings to form very large, complex molecules. These large molecules can be made of many small molecules that are bonded together.

What are the structural characteristics that give the phosphoanhydride bond its high-energy status?
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

The answer to the given question out of the four options provided is given by:

Option a. Hydrolysis products are more resonance stabilized.

Explanation:

The answer selection to the above question can be justified as Phosphoanhydride on hydrolysis releases free high energy as the bonds formed by phosphoanhydride are the bonds with high energy.

Therefore, the product of hydrolysis after releasing this energy is more resonance stabilized.

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer: The correct answer is 2, 3 and 5.

Explanation:

Glycogen: This is a branched biopolymer that consists of linear chains of glucose residue that are linked together by alpha 1,4 glycosidic bonds. Branches are linked to the chains from which they are branching off by alpha 1,6 glycosidic bonds between the first glucose on the new branch and a glucose on the stem chain.

Cellulose: This is a structural polysaccharide that is found in cell walls of plants and it acts as dietary fiber when consumed. Cellulose has beta 1,4 linkages that can not be properly digested.

Starch: This is a linear chain of glucose molecules attached by alpha 1,4 bonds
