What is the difference between topsoil and clay?

2 answers:

7 0

clays are derived from the minerals in rocks by chemical decomposition. They are the end product of weathering . There are different families of clays depending on chemical composition and crystal structure and there are various clays in each family. Soils are mixtures of rocks, minerals, and clays. Like clays, soils are grouped but by texture and mineral composition rather than by chemistory and crystallography. Given enough time a soil may break down to one or more clays but a pure clay will never break down to soil.

This was a very loose description of the differences. If you need more specific information you should be able to find it using one of the internet search engines.

The difference between topsoil and garden soil is an even finer distinction than the difference between soil and dirt, and it has to do with the amount of organic matter, and to a lesser extent, the types of trace minerals and the ratio of clay, sand and silt. Garden soil is a category of topsoil

A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage

dem82 [27]

The complete question is:

a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have

A) T2 protein and T4 DNA

B) T2 protein and T2 DNA

C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.

D) T4 protein and T4 DNA

E) T4 protein and T2 DNA

A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.

A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.

The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.

Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.

As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.

In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.

Help I don’t understand and I’m so confused and I’m doing online school please help 7-15

Wittaler [7]

For questions 11-15

11. Magnesium Oxide is a combination between Magnesium and oxygen so the formula will be MgO

12. Calcium Chloride is a combination between Calcium and Chlorine, so the formula will be CaCl₂ the ₂ comes from the fact that there is two Chlorine atoms

13. Lithium Sulfide is a combination between Two lithium and a sulfur atoms,

so the formula will be Li₂S The ₂ coming from the two lithium atoms

14. Barium Selenide is a combination between Barium and Selenium so the formula will be BaSe

15. Aluminum Oxide is a combination between Aluminum and Oxygen, there are two Aluminum atoms and three Oxygen atoms, so it will make Al₂O₃

Explain the logic the woodcutter uses to justify cutting some of the trees for our use.

Y_Kistochka [10]

A woodcutter could justify cutting trees for use say in a pioneering situation whereby the pioneer needs shelter and food so trees could be necessary to say construct a small log cabin and table for eating/preparing food at to ensure the survival of the pioneer.
