Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

Answer:

The corrext answer is E. make; break

Explanation:

In living organisms, the metabolism is either anabolic or catabolic where anabolic metabolism is energy consuming and catabolic metabolism is eneegy releasesing. It should however be noted that anabolic reaction builds or biosynthesize new mollecular structures while catabolic reaction breaks down complex structure bonds into simple structures

The braking down of bonds in catabolic reations realeses energy to sustain the anabolic rection process for the formation of new bonds
