Which of the following best describe gas particles?
timama [110]

Answer:

a, b, d (see below)

Explanation:

So, looking at the 3 states of matter:

Solid - holds a shape and is made up of particles that vibrate in place (because particles are always moving no matter what)

Liquid - holds shape of its container and has particles with some space in between them that allow them to flow

Gas - holds shape of its container and has particles with huge gaps of space between them that are always, constantly moving and zooming around

Refer to the image below for a better visual understanding.

So, now, looking at the answer choices:

a) moving randomly

Yes. They are—they're speeding around super fast all the time.

Every time heat is added to something, the particles start loosening up and moving.<em> A lot.</em>

So when you add heat to a solid, it starts loosening up and moving around until it becomes flowy enough to be a liquid. Then, if more heat is added, the particles moving faster and loosen up even more until they're a gas.

Imagine doing that one more time, and you'll have plasma. As you may have guessed it, plasma moves <em>super fast</em>

<em />

b) collide into each other

Yes. Because they're moving so fast and uncontrollably all the time, they're bound to have rammed into one another a few or more times.

Imagine bumper cars at a carnival, except the speed of each car is sooo fast that you could be on a highway. You're probably going to hit someone, which is why bumper cars are not that fast in reality. For safety reasons.

c) move slow

No. Since we know that they're always zooming around (refer to my bumper car example above, in bold), they obviously can't be slow.

d) high kinetic energy

Yes. Anything moving (a.k.a. in motion) has kinetic energy. If gases zoom super fast 24/7, they will have high kinetic energy.

Having high kinetic energy means that the something is moving really fast or a lot. In this case, gases are both.

e) moving orderly

No. They're moving everywhere and really fast, so they have no control over how they move because of how fast they are.

(refer to my bumper car example in answer b, in bold)

A meadow ecosystem includes many species of grasses and small shrubs, several herbivores, and a few carnivores. A fungus coloniz
Stels [109]

A field habitat vegetated by grass and other non-woody plants (grasslands) is known as a meadow. They are of ecological benefit as they are open, sunny regions, which fascinate and support fauna and flora that could not survive in other conditions.  

In the given case, when a fungus colonizes the meadow and destructs the majority of its vegetation, which comprises species of small shrubs and grasses, then this may result in the decline of herbivore species due to lack of vegetation on which they survive, which will eventually result in the reduction of carnivore species, as they feed on herbivores.

How do DNA, chromosomes, and genes work as the instructions for heredity?
Margarita [4]
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule in living organisms wherein the genetic code or <em>genes</em> is stored. The structural conformation of DNA in the nucleus of the cells is called <em>chromatin </em><em />and in cell division, chromatin is grouped into a certain number (46, in humans, for instance) called <em>chromosomes.

</em>DNA provides instructions for hereditary such that a part of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA or mRNA for the genetic code to be transported outside the nucleus. The mRNA is then translated into polypeptides to form proteins that form specific functions in the human body.<em>

The independent variable is what will change. The dependent variable is what will change because of the independent variable. The controlled variable is what will stay the same.
Ex, for the first one.
IV: the amount of sunlight
DV: plant growth
CV: pea plant

For #2.
IV: the soda
DV: the amount of sugar
CV: soda
