Answer:

The correct option is B. Activation energy

Explanation:

The activation energy is usually used to designate the minimum energy necessary for a given chemical reaction to occur, that is, the basic requirement for the reaction to proceed.

For a reaction to occur between two molecules, they must collide in the correct orientation and have a minimum amount of energy. As the molecules approach, their electron clouds are rejected. This requires energy (activation energy) and comes from the heat of the system, that, is, from translational, vibrational energy, etc of each molecule. If the energy is sufficient, the repulsion is overcome and the molecules are close enough for a rearrangement of the bonds of the molecules.

The concept of Activation energy was introduced by Arrhenius in 1889. Arrhenius suggested that molecules must prossess a minimum amount of energy to react. That energy comes from the kinetic energy of the clliding molecules. Kinetic energy serves to cause reactions, but if the molecules move very slowly, the molecules will only bounce when they collide with other molecules and the reaction does not happen. In order for the molecules to react, they must have a total kinetic energy that is equal to or greater than a certain minimum value of energy called activation energy.

<u>Answer:</u>   Comparison

<em>Comparison is the determining the likelihood of two samples with the same characteristic being from two different sources.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

While comparison is made there is always a certain similar character taken which are common in nature. After <em>the two topics are placed in front then decision can be made easily on various basis. </em>

Comparison does gives the <em>definition for the good and the bad, pretty and ugly.</em> It can also be sued in a negative way to dominate someone.

Well theory isnt proven. It means you have a strong idea about the subject your talking about. So if a scientist finds evidence that suggests something against the theory then it can be changed.

Can two organisms with the same phenotype have different genotypes?
Annette [7]

Let's look BB and Bb

They both have the dominant trait which means they both have the same physical appearance (phenotype) , but while BB has both dominant and Bb has one dominant and one recessive that means that although Bb has the same phenotype as BB, it has a different genotype because it has a bit different genetic makeup
