Why does food coloring penetrate a smaller potato cube faster than it penetrates a larger potato cube?

Biology
2 answers:
klemol [59]3 years ago

Answer: (C) The larger cube has more volume, so the food coloring takes more time to soak in.

Explanation: Since the potato cube was very small, it absorbed the dye faster than the big potato cube because of its small surface area compared to the bigger cube. (PS: I've done a experiment about this topic before)

Answer:

Option D, he smaller cube has more surface area compared to volume, so there are more places for the food coloring to soak in

Explanation:

The surface area is the major key factor that effects absorption of any substance by  other substance.

Here, the surface area to volume ratio of a smaller cube is higher as compared to that of a large area.

Thus, the coloring particles find more area to absorb for a smaller cube than a larger cube and hence food coloring penetrate a smaller potato cube faster than it penetrates a larger potato cube

Thus, option D is correct

Small, isolated populations of collared lizards remain in glades of desert-like habitat scattered throughout the oak-hickory for
dusya [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options

A. most populations were fixed for a single genotype, but genotypes varied among populations

B. average heterozygosity was declining steadily over time

C. individual populations were polymorphic for several loci and most populations were genetically similar to one another

D. all populations were fixed for the same allele at each locus studied

Solution

As per the study conducted by Templeton, it was found that human affect the biodiversity at all biological levels such as genetic, ecosystem, species etc. and behind genetic variation two important factors are genetic drift and gene flow.  

Both the gene flow and genetic drift produce opposite results as genetic drift increase variation with in the species but decrease variation with in the local population and the opposite of this happens in gene flow.  

Genetic drift has actually lead to speciation of collared lizards  among themselves for a specific genotype

Hence, option A is correct
