Which one of these characterizes a hydrophilic substance---a substance that is easily mixed with water?

Biology

Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago

The term "hydrophillic" literally means water loving.

Hydrophillic substances are those that have an affinity of water, meaning they are easily dissolved and absorbed in water. Polar substances, those which have charges on the atoms of their molecules, tend to be hydrophillic due to the fact that water itself is a polar substance.

Which of the below features was not used to identify the early Homo distinction from Australopithecines
Jlenok [28]

The correct answer is reduction in tooth size.

The anatomy of the foot and pelvis are the feature of Australopithecus afarensis that is used to definitively classify this species as a hominin.

<h3>Australopithecines</h3>

Australopithecines are an adaptive radiation of early hominins, all of which were to some extent bipedal, had brains that were only slightly larger than those of apes, and had adaptations to a diet that included at least occasionally hard-to-chew items. They have been identified through research on perhaps ten species that lived in central, eastern, and southern Africa between 4.2 million and 1.0 million years ago. Understanding australopithecines is essential to comprehending not only the diversity of early hominins but also the origins of Homo. Our genus Homo probably originated from this radiation, albeit we are unsure from which species.

What does it mean when it says that aerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm “TO” the mitochondria???
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Kerb cycle

<u>Explanation</u>:

The result from mitochondria is ATP, that acts as a currency of the energy in the cell. In the cytoplasm of mitochondria kerb cycle occurs. In this process it has several other process, once it uses acetate and water to give NADH from NAD+ and gives carbon dioxide as waste. The NADH formed is fed by oxidative phosphorylation or electron transport. The outcome of these processes is oxidation of nutrients to give chemical energy in ATP form.

PLS HELP ME!!! In your opinion, what are the limiting factors that might affect the growth or diversity of our ecosystem? Please
sergiy2304 [10]

I claim light, water and minerals are the limiting factors that might affect the growth or diversity of our ecosystem.

Abiotic factors are the non-living components of an ecosystem and include light, minerals, water etc. These are the vital components without which an ecosystem cannot exist.  

Light is essential not only for photosynthesis in plants, but also in maintaining a livable temperature on Earth. Day and night cycles affect and form all the organisms as well as the interactions between them .  

Water in itself makes possible the process of photosynthesis in plants as well as the majority of chemical processes in living organisms. Furthermore, makes possible the absorbtion of soil nutrients by the plant roots. Without water, life would not be possible.  

Minerals are trace elements that exist in all living organisms and are vital to the existance of life. They can be found in both organic and inorganic combinations and are responsible for the existance and functioning of all mental and physical processis. They are most important in maintaining all physiological process as well as acting as catalysts for many biological reactions.    

Ecosystems are complex systems that are built on complex interactions between organisms and their physical environment. In order for any life to exist, certain conditions and requirements need to be fulfilled. Among these, light, water and minerals are vital to the existance of life. Without these three, life as we know it would not be possible. They shape both the ecosystem and the organisms living in a certain area. Their abundance dictates both the growth and diversity of our ecosystem.
