When an ionic compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) is placed in water, the component atoms of the NaCl crystal dissociate int

o individual sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-). In contrast, the atoms of covalently bonded molecules (e.g., glucose, sucrose, glycerol) do not generally dissociate when placed in aqueous solution. Which of the following solutions would be expected to contain the greatest number of solute particles (molecules or ions)?
A) 1 L of 0.5 M NaClB) 1 L of 0.5 M glucoseC) 1 L of 1.0 M NaClD) 1 L of 1.0 M glucoseE) C and D will contain equal numbers of particles.

Answer:

The correct answer is C) 1 L of 1.0 M NaCl

Explanation:

NaCl is a ionic compound so it dissociates in water into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. Glucose is a covalent solute so it does not dissociates into ions. So, when we dissolve NaCl we have twice the amount of particles in solution in comparison with glucose. According to this:

A) and B) are solutions with the same concentration (0.5 M) but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose.

C) and D) are solutions with more solute amount because they are more concentrated (1 M), but NaCl solution will have more solute particles than glucose solution ( 1 mol of Na⁺ ions + 1 mol of Cl⁻ ions).

The solution with the greatest solute particle number is C).

Milankovitch cycles describe the effects of changes as a result of climate change. There are three Milankovitch cycles:about Earth's Eccentricity (the shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun), Axial tilt (the inclination of the Earth's axis in relation to its plane of orbit around the Sun) and precession (the Earth's slow wobble as it spins on axis).
According to this, Milankovitch's cycles <span>are changes in earth's rotation and orbit around the sun that may trigger climate variation. (B).</span>

The concept of endosymbiosis (chloroplast &amp; mitochondria) is widely accepted. What kind of relationship is it?
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

mutualistic

Explanation:

The interaction between two organisms in which both the organism gets benefitted from each other is called a mutualistic relationship. This mutualistic relationship is seen in the concept of endosymbiosis.

According to the endosymbiotic theory chloroplast and mitochondria are evolved by engulfment of different bacteria by ancestral cells. Then these bacterial remained in a mutualistic relationship with each other and the ancestral cell evolved into a eukaryotic cell.

So as mitochondria and chloroplast live with a symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells, therefore, it is considered as mutualistic relationship.

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

If the original finches that had been blown over to the Galápagos from South America had already been genetically different from the parental population of South American finches, even before adapting to the Galápagos, this would have been an example of

E) both the first and third of these.

Explanation:

Genetic drift was the process of changing of allele frequencies over generations in a random fashion.

Founder effect is closely linked with the genetic drift. In this case, a few individuals of the original population start a new colony isolated from the other members of the species.

A founder effect happens when a new colony started from few members of the original population. The small size of population means that the colony may have a small variation of the genes in the original population.

A founder effect event happens when a small group of individuals was separated from the rest of the population, whereas a bottleneck effect occurs when most of the population is destroyed.
