When bonds are broken, energy is released. True or false

Biology

Answer:

False. When bonds are broken, energy is absorbed.

Explanation:

Atoms form bonds to seek stability, which means lower energy compared to when they were separated. This means that separating atoms by breaking bonds is not energetically favourable.

Therefore, in order to break a chemical bond we need to provide energy to the system, which makes the process endothermic (it absorbes energy).

The attached image shows an energy diagram for the H₂ molecule, showing the variation in energy during bond formation.

City officials are proposing a recycling program. They must examine the benefits to their community, not just the environment, t
marshall27 [118]
Environmental Benefits:

less plastic decaying in dirt which 'poisons' the ground.
prevents animals from eating rubbish

Community Benefits:

a lot of waste in area may lead to an unpleasant stench which the public would happily not have.
overall makes the community safer from harmful chemicals that may be produced from decaying plastics.

These are just a couple reasons each, hope it helps.

Answer:

(Leveling off = it stays the same even though it had a increasing period) When looking at the end of the graph you can see that it came back to what it was, which means the rotifers are not increasing anymore. That's because of the carrying capacity (a species' average population size in a particular habitat), and the carrying capacity in this situation is the flask. Therefore the flask has limited space.

Some insects can walk on the surface of water. Which behaviour of water is responsible for this phenomenon?
Andrew [12]

Due to the surface of the water, light insects are able to walk on the surface of water.

Surface tension also accounts for those with wide feet (generally webbed feet). They have more area on the underside of their feet and if they move fast enough (depending on their weight - the heavier they weigh, the faster they must go to keep on the surface of the water), they are able to "walk on water".

Physical differences between the cranium of the gorilla, Australopithecus, and modern human. What does this difference tell you
Lilit [14]
The gorilla and Australopithecus have a more defined pushed out face feature unlike the modern human who evolved to have a more rounded face. The cranium for the gorilla and Australopithecus happen to be more sunken in unlike the rounded human face. This tells us that the Australopithecus most likely evolved from the gorilla. This also tells us that they lived in different environments because of their different evolutions.
