5 0

Answer:

Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids, they contain the carboxyl, COOH, functional group. The general formula for a fatty acid is R-COOH where R represents a long hydrocarbon chain. If the hydrocarbon chain, R, contains only single bonds between the carbon atoms, the fatty acid is said to be saturated.

EleoNora [17]

Answer: Is the fertilizer supporting the growth of beetles?

Explanation:

Here, Kyle wants to get rid of beetles in his garden but he observes that in an area where there is fertilizer there are more beetles. Thus, Kyle can frame the hypothesis that, "Is the fertilizer supporting the growth of beetles?". This hypothesis is forming the basis of experimental trials that can be done on beetles who were exposed to fertilizer and those who were not in laboratory conditions to check whether fertilizer is effective in supporting the growth of beetles. If the fertilizer is useful in supporting the growth then it should not be used in the garden.

Which coefficients balance this equation? _CH4 + _O2 -> _CO2 + _H2O A. 1, 1, 1, 1 B. 1, 1, 2, 1 C. 1, 2, 1, 2 D. 2, 1, 2, 1
ICE Princess25 [194]
C. 1,2,1,2 
 
1 CH4+ 2 O2= 1 CO2+ 2 H20.

when balancing, you need to make sure that each side has the same number of each atom. The reason for this is to abide by the law of conservation of mass; essentially you can't have more or less than you put in the equation. 

When you put the coefficients of C. into the equation you have a total of 2 carbon atoms on each side, 4 hydrogen atoms, and 4 oxygen atoms.

A scientist requests a research grant to develop a plant that does not undergo photorespiration. He claims that such a plant wou
sergey [27]

Answer:

This project is feasible because plants that don't have photorespiration are photosynthetically more efficient and have higher productivity compared to plants that undergo photorespiration  

Explanation:

C4 plants are photosynthetically more efficient compared to C3 plants because these plants (C4) don't have photorespiration, which is a process that decreases the photosynthetic activity. Photorespiration is the process by which the Rubisco enzyme, which is involved in the first step of carbon fixation, adds oxygen to Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), an organic compound involved in photosynthesis. This process (photorespiration) is known to waste energy generated by photosynthesis, thereby making photosynthesis less efficient. It is for that reason that C4 plants have high productivity. Some examples of C4 economically important crops include maize, sorghum, sugarcane, etc.
