A student is given five samples and told they are lysine (an amino acid), lactose (a disaccharide), insulin (a protein hormone),

RNA and fat. The samples are in test tubes marked 1-5, but the student doesn't know which compound is in which tube. The student is instructed to identify the contents of each tube. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. In her first test, she tries to hydrolyze a portion of the contents of each tube. Hydrolysis occurs in all tubes except tube 3. In the next test, she finds that tubes 1, 2, and 3 are positive for nitrogen but only tube 2 gives a positive result for the presence of sulfur. In the next test the student shows that the compound in tube 1 contains a high percentage of phosphate. In the final test the student shows that compound 5 is hydrophobic. Base on these data, identify what is in each tube. 1 2 3 4 5 A. lactose B. RNA C. lysine D. fat

Answer:

1. RNA 2. Insulin 3. Lysine 4. Lactose 5. Fat

Explanation:

RNA contains both nitrogen and phosphate hence it is the substance in tube 1.

Insulin being a protein contains sulfur hence it is the substance in tube 2.

Lysine does not hydrolyse hence it is the substance in tube 3.

Fat is hydrophobic hence it is the substance in tube 5.

Since lactose does hydrolyse and because the rest have been identified, it must be the substance in tube 4.

What happened when you used a colored filter and a colored lightbulb?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

A filter is a transparent material that absorbs some colors and allows others to pass through. ... A yellow color filter will let through only yellow and absorb all other colors. So when blue light is allowed through a blue filter onto a blue object, the object will still reflect blue and therefore appear blue.

A Mismatch occurs when:
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

A mismatch occurs when organisms that were well adapted to one environment cannot evolve rapidly enough to adapt to new changes in the environment. <u>Hence, a trait that once confers an adaptive advantage becomes inimical due to the changes in the environment.</u>

<em>In order words, a mismatch occurs when a once adaptive trait becomes maladaptive or no longer confers an adaptive advantage to organisms due to a change in the environment but still persists in organisms. </em>

For example, an organism with a body adapted to aquatic habitat suddenly finds itself in a terrestrial habitat due to climate change. The body that use to be adaptive to the environment would suddenly become maladaptive to the new environment.

The correct option is, therefore, A.

A boat moves up and down as water waves pass under the boat. If the amplitude of the wave gets bigger, then A) the boat will ris
nikitadnepr [17]

The answer is; D


The boat acts a particle in the wave hence moves with the waves. Since it sits at surface of the crest or trough of the wave, it rises as high as the crest of the wave amplitude and falls as low as the surface of the trough. The boat moves in a wave-like motion as it is undulates with the crest and trough.
