A team of scientists placed five rocks in five separate, artificial environments. All the rocks came from the same formation and

had the same chemical composition. The table describes the environment for each rock: Rock A Rock B Rock C Rock D Rock E intermittent rain showers temperatures alternating between -2°C and 20°C frequent acidic showers that contain carbonic acid covered with algae and lichen placed in an oxygen-rich environment hot and dry environment low temperature of 35°C After the experiment, the scientists observed that one particular rock had large fractures and had split into two pieces. They also observed that, compared to the other rocks, the chemical composition of this particular rock had remained largely unchanged. Which rock most likely fits this description?

The answer is; rock A

The thermal difference and intermittent showers are the reason the rock fractures and peels. The below freezing temperatures cause the rainwater in the cracks of the rock to freeze. When water freezes, it expands causing stress in the rock. The large temperature range causes thawing and freezing of the water and this alternation causes the rock to crack in the end.

Since rocks are not good conductors of heat, the outside of the rock heats up and cools faster than the inside of the rock. This causes stress that causes the rock to peel.

Seedless bananas were probably first caused by a blank
lana [24]
In animals and plants, there are two pairs of chromosomes - one set from a male and the other set from a female. But occasionally, the original fertilized cell doesn't quite divide correctly and more than two sets arises. The fertilized cell continues to divide with the result that all the cells have the extra set of chromosomes. This happens much oftener in plants and the plant will be sterile and can't form seeds.

Identify the neurons described
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

<u>Motor neurons </u>send messages to the muscles and glands to respond to stimuli.

<u>Sensory neurons </u>move information towards the central nervous system for processing.

<u>Interneurons </u>carry information from one type of neuron to another.

Explanation:

  • Neurons are basic structural and functional units of Nervous system.
  • Neurons possess electrical excitability, the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a action potential.
  • Neurons can be classified on the basis of their structure and function.
  • On the basis of structure neurons are classified as, Multipolar neuron;Bipolar neuron; Unipolar neuron.
  • On the basis of function neurons are classified as, Afferent or sensory neuron; Efferent or motor neurons; Interneurons or association neurons.
