Describe an experiment you would perform to prove that an orange contains vitamin C

1 answer:

5 0

To prove that a certain fruit (in this case, an orange) indeed contains a certain compound (in this case, vitamin C); then the vitamin C should be extracted and isolated from the orange and must be confirmed by molecular analysis. The extraction process involves using chemicals (i.e. 6% MPA), and procedures such as centrifugation and filtration. Then the extract is stored and subjected to high-performance liquid analysis (HPLC) to measure the vitamin C content.

Answer:

artificial selection/selective breeding

Explanation:

The illustration is an example of artificial selection.

By definition, artificial selection is the deliberate perpetuation of some traits in living organisms simply because the traits are desirable. The organisms are selected because of the traits and allowed to breed either naturally or otherwise in order to ensure that these traits appear or are even consolidated in the offspring of the breeding.

The offspring from selective breeding are expected to combine the desirable traits of the two parents and thus, appear better than each of the parents.

When you listen to your favorite music, what is the order in which the sound approaches and enters your nervous system and is in

kvasek [131]

In the ear, the sound waves enter through the auditory canal and hit the eardrum (tympanic membrane). The eardrum amplifies the sound and the waves move on to the middle ear, where three bones called the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) amplify the sound further and vibrate. Then, the sound waves go to the cochlea where tiny hairs and other receptors turn the sound waves into a nerve impulse. This impulse is sent to the brain via the auditory nerve and interpreted by the brain.

The main structural differences between plant and animal cells are the additional structures found in pants. The structures include, the cell wall, the chloroplasts and also the vacuoles. The similarity between them is that they both contain plasma membrane, a nucleus, a nucleolus, mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus, peroxisomes and the microtubules.
