Which are factors of rock types that affect the rate of weathering? Select three options

Biology
1 answer:
vagabundo [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Incomplete

"Check all that apply. porosity, moisture, temperature, mineral, softness, or ease of dissolving"

<em>From the options, the three answers are </em><u><em>mineral composition,</em></u><em> </em><u><em>ease of dissolving</em></u><em> and p</em>

Explanation:

Weathering is the phenomenon in which surface of rocks are broken down and leaches or washed away.

The factors that affect the rock type and rate of weathering of said rock include:

  1. Composition: this translates to the <u>mineral composition </u>in the rock and how susceptible to chemical weathering reaction
  2. Surface area and porosity: Surface <u>porosity </u>determines how easily the rock can be leached by wind or rain.
  3. Climate: Mechanical weathering due to extreme climate change can cause freezing and thawing of the rocks, thereby enhancing disintegration of the rock. This is determined by the <u>ease of dissolving </u>of the rock.

Which hypothesis most likely explains the results at 60°C and 70°C? O A. The substrate has been used up because of the high temp
Leni [432]

Answer: Option B

The enzyme has changed shape because of high temperature.

Explanation:

Enzymes are biological catalysts in living organisms that speed up the rate of chemical reactions.

High temperature changes the shape of enzymes.

Increase or high temperature lead to decrease in enzymes activities. This is due to enzyme protein been denatures by high temperature which is the breaking of molecular bonds within the enzyme protein. When the enzymes bonds are broken, the shape of the enzymes changes and they no longer act as catalysts.

Dr. Paul Ehrlich observed that the differential stain developed by Dr. Gram suggested bacteria could be killed differentially by
Illusion [34]

Answer:

d. Ribosome

f. Cell wall

Explanation:

In humans 80s type of ribosome is present and in bacteria 70s type of ribosome is present. Human cells do not have cell wall while bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wall. These differences can be targeted by the potential antibacterial agents.

For example, tetracycline antibiotic inhibits the binding of important molecules to bacterial ribosome which ultimately inhibits the protein synthesis in bacteria. Vancomycin antibiotic on other hand inhibits the cell wall formation in bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.
