Oxidation


Mechanical weathering, also known as physical weathering, is the process of rocks and minerals breaking down into smaller pieces without a change in chemical composition. Chemical weathering, on the other hand, does result in a change in chemical composition. Oxidation is a very common chemical reaction and involves oxygen.

Which cell structure is thought to have arisen through an endosymbiosis in plant but not animal cells?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Chloroplast

Explanation:

Endosymbiosis theory explains the origin of chloroplast and mitochondria in the eukaryotic organisms.

When the pro-eukaryotes engulfed the blue-green algae or photosynthetic bacteria, these bacteria formed the symbiotic relationship with the pro-eukaryotes. These photosynthetic bacteria transformed into the chloroplast organelles of the eukaryotes which can capture the sunlight and use it in the synthesis of glucose molecules. These eukaryotic cells later formed the plant kingdom.

Thus, the chloroplast is the correct answer.

A gummy bear is made up of sugar and gelatin, among other things. If a gummy bear sits in water, what will occur? Think about so

How do viruses cause disease? Please answer with complete sentences.
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Virulence, the capacity to cause disease, varies markedly among viruses. Some viruses cause lethal disease while others do not. For example, nearly all humans infected with rabies virus develop a disease of the central nervous system which ultimately leads to death. In contrast, most humans are infected with circoviruses with no apparent consequence.

Explanation: One explanation for viral virulence is that it facilitates transmission. However, a comparison of infections caused by two enteric viruses, poliovirus and norovirus, does not support this general view. Both viruses infect the gastrointestinal tract and are spread efficiently among humans by fecal contamination.
