The correct answer is: D) excited

A molecule is in an excited state when its energy level is higher than the ground state. That molecule stays in excited state for short time and then returns to a state with lower energy. This return to a lower energy level is described as decay and is the inverse process of excitation.

The transition from ground to excited state of an atom is possible if electrons gain energy that is higher than the difference in energies between the two energy orbits.

List and explain the 3 paths natural selection can take.
evablogger [386]

Answer:

1. Stabilizing Selection  

2. Directional Selection  

3. Disruptive Selection  

Explanation:

Stabilizing Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when there are selective pressures working against two extremes of a trait and therefore the intermediate or “middle” trait is selected for. If we look at a distribution of traits in the population, it is noticeable that a standard distribution is followed:

Example:  For a plant, the plants that are very tall are exposed to more wind and are at risk of being blown over. The plants that are very short fail to get enough sunlight to prosper. Therefore, the plants that are a middle height between the two get both enough sunlight and protection from the wind.

Directional Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of one extreme of a trait. Therefore when looking at a distribution of traits in a population, a graph tends to lean more to one side:

Example: Giraffes with the longest necks are able to reach more leaves to each. Selective pressures will work in the advantage of the longer neck giraffes and therefore the distribution of the trait within the population will shift towards the longer neck trait.

Disruptive Selection  

This type of natural selection occurs when selective pressures are working in favour of the two extremes and against the intermediate trait. This type of selection is not as common. When looking at a trait distribution, there are two higher peaks on both ends with a minimum in the middle as such:

Example: An area that has black, white and grey bunnies contains both black and white rocks. Both the traits for white and black will be favored by natural selection since they both prove useful for camouflage. The intermediate trait of grey does not prove as useful and therefore selective pressures act against the trait.

Answer:

After you have established a research question, which of the following should you do first?

put your research question into a null and alternative hypothesis

Explanation:

It expedient that after research question has been established, one needs to make a null hypothesis and alternate it, this gives a clue of what the researcher intends to find or problem to be solved.

Explain how the sun determines climate distribution. What type of weather conditions does the sun control?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

The rate of energy coming from the Sun changes slightly day to day. It has been suggested that changes in solar output might affect our climate both directly, by changing the rate of solar heating of the Earth and atmosphere, and indirectly, by changing cloud forming processes

The Sun warms our planet, heating the surface, the oceans and the atmosphere. This energy to the atmosphere is one of the primary drivers our weather. Our climate is also strongly affected by the amount of solar radiation received at Earth.
