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.

Which of the following statements describes the conditions of a pneumothorax? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following stat
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The presence of air in the pleural cavity

Explanation:

A pneumothorax occurs when air builds up between the lung and the chest wall. In consequence, pneumothorax occurs when air gets into the pleural cavity (i.e., the space between the lung and the chest wall) and causes a fully and/or partially collapsed lung. Some of the most common symptoms of pneumothorax include shortness of breath (respiratory distress), rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, fatigue, agitation, dry cough, etc. Pneumothorax can be caused by a chest injury, an accident during a medical procedure, damage from underlying lung diseases, etc.

Planets are classified in yhe domain _____<br>A. archaea<br>B. bacteria <br>C. eukarya​
Gelneren [198K]

Archaea means ancient, bacteria are, well, minuscule organisms that live everywhere, and eukarya are organisms with cells that have a nucleus as well as membrane-bound organelles... my best guess if it is planets you mean, then the answer would be archaea, if it is plants, like flowers or such, then it is eukarya.

I hope this helps!

What property of a virus makes it useful for making transgenic organisms?
morpeh [17]

Viruses reproduce by incorporating their DNA into an organism's genome to tap into the host replication mechanism to reproduce themselves. Viruses, therefore, cannot copy outside their host. This property of viruses makes them suitable for the production of transgenic organisms. This is achieved by replacing the DNA piece that causes virulence in the virus with the desired gene that is to be transduced into the host organisms.
