The arctic fox has adapted to its environment in a number of ways. Its fur turns white in winter and it does not begin to shiver

until temperatures plunge below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Global warming is likely to bring many changes, including an increase in mean air temperature. Over time, the arctic fox will have to adapt to this change. Which adaptation is MOST LIKELY to occur? A) Its paw pads may thicken. B) Its fur may stay white longer. C) Its tail may have thinner fur. D) Its ears may be shorter and rounder.

Answer:  C) Its tail may have thinner fur.

Adaptation is the change or alteration in the organism which imparts changes in the structure, physiology and behavior of the organism. These changes allows the organism to survive in the drastic environmental conditions.

In the given situation, artic fox being living in the cold environment Its tail may have thinner fur. is the correct type of adaptation which may allow the artic fox to survive in changing environmental conditions due to global warming. As, global warming may cause change the climatic conditions of the artic regions. The thin fur may allow the loss of heat during summer conditions.

Resethelp 1. Structure describes the alpha-helices and beta-sheets that are formed by hydrogen bonding between backbone atoms lo
ss7ja [257]

1. Answer;

-secondary structure;

Explanation;

Protein secondary structure refers to regular, repeated patterns of folding of the protein backbone. The two most common folding patterns are the alpha helix and the beta sheet. In an alpha helix, the polypeptide backbone coils around an imaginary helix axis in clockwise direction. In the beta sheet secondary structure, the polypeptide backbone is nearly fully extended. The R-groups are alternately pointed above and then below the extended backbone.

2. Answer;

- Quaternary structure

Explanation;

-Many proteins are formed from more than one polypeptide chain. The Quaternary structure describes the way in which the different subunits are packed together to form the overall structure of the protein. For example, the human hemoglobin molecule shown below is made of four subunits.

3. Answer;

-Tertiary structure

Explanation;

Tertiary structure refers to the overall folding of the entire polypeptide chain into a specific 3D shape. The tertiary structure of enzymes is often a compact, globular shape.

The tertiary structure is the structure at which polypeptide chains become functional. At this level, every protein has a specific three-dimensional shape and presents functional groups on its outer surface, allowing it to interact with other molecules, and giving it its unique function.

4. Answer;

Primary structure

Explanation;

-It is the simplest level of protein structure and is simply a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. For example, the hormone insulin has two polypeptide chains, A and B. Each chain has its own set of amino acids, assembled in a particular order. For instance, the sequence of the A chain starts with glycine at the N-terminus and ends with asparagine at the C-terminus, and is different from the sequence of the B chain.

What is the basis on which the subdivisions in a Geological time scale are made
Andru [333]
 <span>The geologic time scale is divided into periods, which are then divided into epochs, which are further divided into ages. For example, the time of the dinosaurs lasted 3 periods (Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous), each period had 3 epochs (late, early, middle), and each age fit into one of those. Many epochs have more than 1 age associated with them. 
As for the basis for differentiating the eras, I'm not so sure. The only one I can say for sure is the end of the Cretaceous, which is when the dinosaurs suddenly became extinct due to a meteor impact. I think the divisions are based on significant, global-scale events that changed the world.

Sorry its so long but that the answer i think >:) ur welcome

antiseptic1488 [7]

The right option is d) bubbles

The production of bubbles when baking soda mixes with an acid such as vinegar is the observation that indicated a chemical property of the baking soda.

Baking soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate) is a nonflammable, white crystalline powder. Baking soda is odorless, and alkaline. Baking soda reacts with vinegar (acetic acid) to produce carbon dioxide (a gas), water, sodium ion and acetate ion. Baking soda is used for many purposes such as; as an antacid for treating indigestion, for baking, in fire extinguishers, as a water softener, as a pesticide, and to remove dirts from materials.
