Alyssa investigates properties of matter. The answer to which question would best

Biology
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

This question is incomplete as it lacks options, the options are:

A) What is the radius of each particle of the substance?

B) Does the substance contain more than one type of atom?

C) Was a chemical reaction necessary to create the substance?

D) What is the electrical charge of the particles of the substance?

The answer is B

Explanation:

In chemistry, an element is a substance made up of a single type of atom i.e. only one atom of the same type constitutes an element while a compound is a substance that contains two or more different elements. If a compound contains different elements, it means that a compound will certainly contain more than one type of atom.

According to this question, the best question to ask when Alyssa wants to differentiate between an element and a compound is: DOES THE SUBSTANCE CONTAIN MORE THAN ONE TYPE OF ATOM?

- If the answer is yes, the substance is a COMPOUND

- If the answer is no, the substance is an ELEMENT.

Infer: How might the size of a group affect its defense?
uysha [10]
I don't know exactly what you mean but the size of a group affects its defense because there is a larger group. Therefore, more people would be protecting it, adding more to its defense.

kaheart [24]

Answer: Carbon dioxide

Explanation:

The chemolithophs are the prokaryotes which uses inorganic matter in order to make organic materials for the other processes.

These organism get energy by the oxidation of the inorganic compounds. The   organism such as human beings breaks down the organic compounds in order to get energy and nutritional building block.

The macro molecule used by the organism is carbon dioxide.

What has to happen before mitosis begins?
Leokris [45]

Mitosis is simply a stage in a cells life cycle, which could be broken down further into stages of mitosis. The rest (so not mitosis) is know as Interphase and is where the cell does its normal function, so if it's the cell is in a region of muscle it would contract/relax as normal etc.

Immediately before mitosis (or M phase) is what's know as G2 phase, where the G stands for growth and is where particular gene pathways are expressed to promote growth of the volume of DNA (chromosomes are duplicated, so from 46 to 92). At the end of this stage is a checking process where the DNA is scrutinised for any errors, if all is okay then the cell can proceed to mitosis, if not then the process is stopped so that errors in copying the DNA can be fixed. This is know as a restriction point and the cell must meet the requirements to pass. This is often seen as a way cells can prevent damage being replicated and therefore interfering with normal cell processes. When cells are cancerous they are able to override this and therefore divide and spread the damaged DNA.

Based on biology and neo-Darwinism, _____ explains how environment selects organizations for survival or extinction.
lutik1710 [3]

Given what we know, we can say that biology and neo-Darwinism both support the idea that natural selection explains how the environment selects organizations for survival or extinction.

<h3>Natural Selection. </h3>
  • This concept is often summarized by the phrase "survival of the fittest".
  • This refers to the ability of an organism to adapt to its environment.
  • The better-adapted organisms will live to pass on their genetic information, thus changing the organization of the species.
  • Those not able to do so will face extinction.

Therefore, since natural selection involves the survival or extinction of a species based solely upon their ability to adapt and change their genetic organization in response to their environment, we can say that this concept helps to explain how the environment selects organizations for survival or extinction.

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via
love history [14]

Answer:

Neurotransmitters are released from axon terminals via exocytosis

Explanation:

Dendrite is the receiving part of the presynaptic neuron, while axon is the transmitting part of the neuron. So, after initiation, action potentials travel down axons to the terminals. Action potential travels through the membrane of the presynaptic cell causing the voltage-gated channels permeable to calcium ions to open. Ca2+ flow through the presynaptic membrane and increase the Ca concentration in the cell which will activate proteins attached to vesicles that contain a neurotransmitter (e.g. acetylcholine). Vesicles fuse with the membrane of the presynaptic cell, thereby release their contents into the synaptic cleft-space between the membranes of the pre- and postsynaptic cells (exocytosis of the vesicle's content). Neurotransmitter ACh (from the vesicles) binds to its receptors on the postsynaptic membrane and its binding causes depolarization of the target cell (muscle cell). Depolarization occurs because sodium enters the cell as a result of neurotransmitter receptor binding.
