Biology
1 answer:
ExtremeBDS [4]3 years ago
3 0

B.) Cohesion

Explanation:

The best term that fits the description of the term surface tension of water is cohesion.

Cohesion is the intermolecular forces that holds together the particles of liquids and solids.

  • Surface tension is a phenomenon in liquids that causes them to come together more and shrink on the surface.
  • Surface tension is made possible by cohesive forces between water- water molecules.
  • Adhesion is between different molecules like water and glass.
  • In capillary action, a liquid is able to rise up in a column
  • Sublimation is a phase change from solid to gas.

Which population is limited by density-dependent factors?
dedylja [7]

Answer: (c) A local wolf population experiences a lethal epidemic of parvovirus.

Explanation:

A limiting factor is one which is capable of limiting the population of the species. It can be a living factor or a non-living factor.  

The density dependent limiting factor is a factor which affects the population of a species depending upon the size of the population. There are many density dependent limiting factors such as disease, migration, predation and food.  

C is the correct option, this is because of the fact that the epidemic outbreak can spread over to the large number of members of the population. If larger the population size more likely will be the chances of spreading.

Reactant product
gogolik [260]

Answer:

4 grams

Explanation:

If in an experiment, we have 4g of reactants, the mass of the products will also be 4g.

This is in compliance with the law of conservation of mass in a chemical reaction.

According to this law,

  "in a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed but changed from one form to another".

If:

      A + B →  C

         4g        4g

mass of A and B must be equal to the mass of the product according to the law of conservation of mass.

Chargaff's Rule. If there is 20% Adenine in the cell, what is the percentage of Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine found in the same
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

A= 20%

G= 30%

T= 20%

C= 30%

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if Adenine makes up 20% of the DNA nucleotides, Thymine is also 20%.

Then, 20% + 20% + C + G = 100%

40% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 40% = 60%

So, divide 60% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 30%

Finally, A= 20%; G= 30%; T= 20%; C= 30%
