Question:
<em>The diagram shows the potential energy changes for a reaction pathway.</em>
Part 1: Does the diagram illustrate an endothermic or an exothermic reaction? Give reasons in support of your answer.
Part 2: Describe how you can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram and if each is positive or negative.
Answer:
Part 1: The diagram illustrates an endothermic reaction as the products has a higher potential energy than the reactants do. There is a positive slope of the diagram and there is enough energy to meet the activation energy requirement.
Part 2: You can determine the total change in enthalpy and activation energy from the diagram by the potential energy of the reactants. If the reactants have a high potential energy, then the enthalpy is also high, and if the reactants have a low potential energy, then the enthalpy is low. You can determine if the diagram is positive or negative by knowing if its an endothermic or exothermic reaction. An endothermic reaction is positive because the products are higher than the reactants and a exothermic reaction is negative because the reactants are higher than the products.
Answer:
Standard taxonomic system is important to the scientific community because it provide several advantages like that organise and classify the organism that organism can be easily categorised it helps to understand the characteristics of a specific organisms, it also benefited to universal recognition that scientific names are standardised and it is accepted universally and it also help to understand the similarities and differences between different species that belonging to the same genera.
(Drawbacks of modern taxonomy) :it is based on physical traits and it is also physically similar and species may not be related and it does not use molecular evidence
The significant role of spore formation in the reproductive cycle of this bacterium would be to allow the bacteria to survive in extreme conditions. The spore formed is called an endospore which is a thick cover made of protein. These spores are mostly resistant to heat and chemicals which makes the bacteria survive in harsh conditions. Spores can only be destroyed by sterilization and it require very high pressures and very temperatures. In microbiology and medical settings, this process is usually done in a device known as the autoclave. Sterilization is a process that involves the killing of all microorganism in a system whether it is harmful or beneficial.
Nests, small organisms such as lizards, snakes, small birds, rock formations, skeletons of small animals.
