Answer:

Yes, glucose dissolves in water.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can state that glucose is largely soluble in water due to the fact that it has five of polar hydroxyl groups which can interact with the hydrogen atoms in the water throughout the hydrogen bonds. Such hydrogen bond is known as an intermolecular force that forms a special type of dipole-dipole attraction when a hydrogen atom bonded to a strongly electronegative atom (like the oxygen in the hydroxyl groups) exists in the vicinity of another electronegative atom with a lone pair of electrons, therefore they occur among molecules.

Which term specifically describes the categorization of people into ethnic groups without taking into account individual differe

zysi [14]

Answer: D) Stereotyping

Choice A is false because this involves denying a person to do something based on factors such as religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

Choice B is false because this term involves a crime or suspected crime being committed, or about to be committed. And it also makes the assumption based on a person's race.

Choice C is false since segregation is the separation of people usually by race or ethnicity. Though you could have class based segregation (eg: rich vs poor) and other forms.

Choice D is true because stereotyping is where you lump a bunch of people together based on cultural or societal assumptions. Usually it's in the form of "all ___ people do such and such" where you fill in the blank with a specific race or culture.

What biomes receive less then 100 Cm of rain each year? Check all that apply

jeyben [28]

Answer:- Option 3 (desert), Option 4 (tundra) and Option 5 (grassland).

Explanation:-

The amount of rainfall varies in different biomes:-

1. Tropical rain forests - The annual rainfall in these forests falls in the range of 125 to 660 cm which varies according to the seasons.

2. Temperate rain forest - The annual rainfall in these forests can range from 200 cm to 350 cm depending on the region where they are found. The annual rainfall is higher in warmer regions .

3. Desert - As the name suggests, the desert areas do not get enough rainfall. The annual rainfall in a desert is less than 25 cm.

4. Tundra - It is a biome which is found in relatively cooler climates and the amount of rainfall is very less these regions. The annual rainfall in tundra biomes is less than 20 cm.

5. Grassland - in these biomes, the rainfall is higher than the tundra and desert but is not as high as the rain forests and thus, grass is the dominant vegetation. The annual rainfall ranges from 60-90 cm.
