Answer:

D. Phototropism

Explanation:

Plants, like every other living organism, responds to external stimulus. In this question, the stimulus is LIGHT from the sun entering through the window sill. The plant is responding positively to the light stimuli by growing towards the direction where the light is coming from. This exhibit is called PHOTOTROPISM.

Phototropism, comes from two words viz photo- meaning light and tropism- meaning movement. Hence, phototropism is the growth of an organism (plant in this case) in response to a light stimulus. The case described in this question is POSITIVE PHOTOTROPISM because the growth occurs towards the light source.

Why less electro negative elements are taken as central atom

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.

Match the solutions to the descriptions of the freezing points.a. One mole of the ionic compound Na3PO4 dissolved in 1000 g H2O

rosijanka [135]

Explanation:

Depression in Freezing point

= Kf × i × m

where m is molality , i is Van't Hoff factor, m = molality

Since molality and Kf remain the same

depression in freezing point is proportional to i

i= 2 for CuSO4 ( CuSO4----------> Cu+2 + SO4-2

i=1 for C2h6O

i= 3 for MgCl2 ( MgCl2--------> Mg+2+ 2Cl-)

So the freezing point depression is highest for MgCl2 and lowest for C2H6O

so freezing point of the solution = freezing point of pure solvent- freezing point depression

since MgCl2 has got highest freezing point depression it will have loweest freezing point and C2H6O will have highest freezing point

Joseph drives 25miles North in 15 minutes then he drives 40 miles east in 30 minutes, then he uses cruise control option for 1 h

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 1.25 miles per minute

Explanation:

Average speed is the rate of change of total distance covered per unit time.

i.e Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

Total distance covered = (25miles + 40 miles + 70 miles + 15 miles)

= 150 miles

Total time taken = ( 15 minutes + 30 minutes + 1 hour + 15 minutes) = 120 minutes

Since 60 minutes = 1 hour, the total time taken is 120 minutes

Now, apply Average speed = (Total distance / Time taken)

= (150 miles / 120 minutes)

= 1.25 miles per minutes

Thus, Joseph drove with an average speed of 1.25 miles per minute.
