What indicates a positive test for the presence of salt?

Biology

The presence of salt that is sodium chloride cannot be tested at once. Two different tests are performed to show the presence of both sodium and chloride.

To test for the chloride ion:

Add few drops of aqueous solution of silver nitrate to aqueous solution of sodium chloride, white precipitate is seen which cannot dissolve in cold water and dilute nitric acid. This precipitate formed is soluble in solution of ammonium hydroxide to give a colorless diamine silver chloride solution.

To test for the sodium ion:  Use a flame test.

Dip a wire of platinum in concentrated hydrochloric solution and hold it in the  flame of the Bunsen burner until the flame no longer changes its color. Again dip the wire in hydrochloric solution and rub some sodium chloride on the wire and put it again in the burner, an intense yellow to orange color forms that shows the presence of sodium ion.

If the substance passes both the tests in the given way then it is salt (sodium chloride)

Which factor most likely caused animals and plants in India to differ greatly from species in nearby southeast Asia?
Dominik [7]

Answer:

India was a separate continent until 45 million years ago

Explanation:

India was part of the Gondwanaland continent which was one of the two remnants of Pangaea, while Asia was part of Laurasia, the other remnant of Pangaea. Because these two land masses were separate, the animals and plants were evolving separately for millions of years. India further separated from Gondwanaland, and it was actually a very large island for millions of years, resulting in isolation and development of unique animals and plants because of it. As India was moving it reached Asia and collided with it, thus becoming one land mass. Some Asian species managed to get in India, but mostly in its northern parts, while the central and southern parts remained dominated by the indigenous species. The Himalayan Mountain Range that formed because of the collision also helped in preserving lot of the indigenous species as it became a natural barrier that most species can not go through.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

It depends on the type of microscope that you have  

Explanation:

For example, in the case that you have a fluorescence microscope, it is possible to create a fusion construct of the domain fused to the Green Fluorescence Protein (GFP) and then introduce it into the cell. The observation of fluorescence from this construct enables to confirm the existence of the signal sequence (i.e., the C-terminal domain) in the organelle
