Answer:

A. ice caps and glaciers, groundwater, surface water

Explanation:

Fresh water is a type of water, found in nature, in which there is no salt. It is water suitable for consumption (provided it is treated) for humans and animals. Fresh water is also used in agriculture. Only about 2.5% of the water found on our planet is sweet. It is mainly found in polar caps and glaciers, groundwater, surface water.

With the growth of the world population, fresh water has become increasingly scarce. Overuse, waste and water pollution are the main problems related to fresh water today.

As it is a precious and scarce mineral resource, society must be aware that, in order not to run out of water in the near future, it is necessary to avoid waste, use it rationally and do not pollute rivers, lakes and water sources.

Is the reaction of bromelain and gelatin dehydration synthesis or hydrolysis? Explain
GuDViN [60]

The reaction of bromelain and gelatin dehydration is hydrolysis

<u>Explanation:</u>

Hydolysis is a process where water breaks down one or more chemical bonds. Bromelain a protease(protein digesting enzyme). Gelatin is an animal protein but is a collagen.

These protein are dietary compounds. So, bromelain will digest the animal protein. In other words, protease can be broken down into to polypeptides i.e a polymer,only through the process of hydrolysis. Therefore, bromelain will hydrolyse the peptide bond in gelatin.

Around the year 1800, it was discovered that fossils are arranged in comparable patterns within the layers of the Earth. Name 3
frez [133]

Answer:

Study of comparative anatomy emerged in the 18th century and led to establishment of relationship between species based on the common traits

Explanation:

The three major events that occurred after this discovery are –  

a) Discovery of the fact that the age of earth is much higher than the age of earth as found in previous theories of continental drift theory

b) The age of the oldest fossils was determined and based on that relative age of all species (as found in fossils) was determined.  

c) The determination of age of fossil helped to find the gaps in the evolutionary tree and hence provoked search of these missing species.

The study of comparative anatomy started somewhere around 1800 when George Cuvier emerged as father of comparative anatomy

Based on comparative anatomy study, scientists such as Buffon and Lamarck worked on establishing relationship between species based on the common traits shared between them

Many soil-dwelling bacteria produce molecules that can be naturally synthesized and kill other species of bacteria. What are these bacteria-killing molecules called antibiotics

Antibiotics are effective pills which can be usually safe. Although they are very helpful in fighting disease,  antibiotics can actually be harmful. Important Facts About Antibiotic Safety: Antibiotics can cause side effects such as allergic reactions and severe and potentially life-threatening diarrhea caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

Antibiotics can also interfere with other medications you may be taking. Antibiotic side effects account for nearly one-fifth of  emergency room visits. These conditions are the most common reasons for emergency room visits for children under the age of 18. Taking antibiotics you don't need unnecessarily exposes you  to the drug's side effects and denies you the benefits.

Question:

In order for your mutant dragon population to become its own species, and needs to be separated from the original dragon population so they no longer will mate with each other. come up with an idea of how the mutant dragon population can separate itself from the original population. Link it to your environmental change.

Answer:

There are various tactics that can be used to separate the mutant dragon population, in order to create a new speices. One tactic is to lure the dragons to a location that provides them with a better food supply. Another tactic could be to temporarily relocate the whelps or fledglings, and leaving behind a trail for the Family to follow. The goal is separate the mutant dragon population from the other, and the propositions that I have provided above could possibly be the solution.

Note:

This is the best I could do with the limited information that was given. I advise that you only resort to this if truly needed. I don't have much experience or knowledge in this Topic. I just thought I might give it a try. I hope you get a better answer soon!
