Well, usually the qn would be what is different between a compound and a molecule. but if you ask like this then, here goes.

An element is the simplest substance that can not be broken down into its components using physical processes. exp: Na, S, K

A molecule is a substance that make up of an element bonded together.
exp: O2, S2, F2(diatomic molecules)

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

B. change shape

Explanation:

Shrimps that live in the cold waters off Alaska will die if introduced into warm water because  the shape of the enzyme molecule determines how it functions in chemical reactions. For example, when these shrimps are introduced to warm water, Synthesis of enzymatic activities needed for various roles (e.g digestion) will be slower or will not occur at all and this is detrimental to the survival of the Shrimp.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A possible scenario would be many rusty pipes with abundant soil in an abandoned area or house.

The probable microorganism would be clostritium tetani, which causes tetanus disease.

This clostridium is eliminated once the oxidized surfaces are exterilized, eliminated and cleaned with disinfectants.

In addition, it could be sprayed with disinfectant on the ground to kill the presence of possible spores of this bacterium.

Explanation:

Clostridium tetani is a bacterium that affects the central and peripheral nervous systems of humans.

Today there is a vaccine for this bacterium, which is called tetanus and is administered against a possible accident, surgical act or risk of having been inoculated with the bacteria.

The current tetanus vaccine has a longevity of 10 years in the human organism, once this period has passed, the booster should be given.

This bacterium coexists with other microorganisms in this environment with accumulations of soil and rust, which the most dangerous would be fungi (they trigger deep mycosis). An example of these fungi is: histoplasma capsulatum, responsible for generating histoplasmosis.

What happens to the precipitation that reaches land? Select all that apply
r-ruslan [8.4K]

The correct answers are: All of them.

- Runs off into the ocean;

The parts of the land that are close to the ocean, and are leaned towards it, especially if it is a more rocky landscape, when receiving precipitation, the water runs off directly into the ocean, though this is happening only on a relatively small area.

- Runs off into the streams and rivers;

Most of the precipitation on the land, ends up in the closest streams and rivers which increase their volume and carry the water further downstream.

- Enters the water table of groundwater;

Part of the precipitation managed to get through the soil and the rocks, and enters deeper, eventually reaching the underground reservoirs and filling them, thus contributing to the levels of the groundwater.

- Taken up from shallow soil by plants;

The plants need water for survival, so when there's precipitation, through their roots (some through their leaves), are taking water from the soil, thus spending part of it for their own needs.

How do balanced chemical equations show the
Furkat [3]
Option C - They show that the number of atoms of each element is the same in the products and reactants.

The conservation of mass essentially states that no matter can be created or destroyed. It is because of the conservation of mass that we have to balance chemical equations in order to ensure than no atoms are destroyed or created.

How does isolation relate to speciation
pashok25 [27]
Isolation such as geological can cause speciation because if one species where divided into two because of geological reasons, they're likely to change their behaviors and physical appearances to match that region.
