Answer:

No, John is wrong.

Explanation:

Pineapples are one of the popular fruits among people and people eat pineapple when they are ripen. It tastes sweet and juicy. But unlike most of the other fruits, pineapple does not ripe once it is plucked. It tastes very sweet when it is properly ripen.

In the context, John kept the left over pineapple in the fridge at about 15 degree Celsius and he found that the pineapple tastes sweeter the, This is because the sugary juices from the parts that is ripen trickles and spreads to all the parts of the fruit. So it tastes sweeter. It is not because of any enzymes.

Certain types of ________ have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Answer is C. Bacteria

Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form.  So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins.  This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.

Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The correct answer is inheritance.

Explanation:

Genetic characteristics are transferred from one generation to another.The mechanism of transfer of genetically determined characteristics from generation to generation is called inheritance.

     Genetic characteristics are stored within the sex chromosome of both male(XY) and female(XX).During fertilization when the sperm cells fuses with ovum at that time some characteristics of both male and female gets incorporated into the diploid zygote which give rise to the new organism containing inherited genetic characteristics.

Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities and combine together to form hydrocarbon molecules. What type of bonds form
egoroff_w [7]
The type of bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is NON POLAR COVALENT BOND.
Covalent bond involves sharing of atoms between two elements; each element will donate electrons which will be equally shared by the elements involved. In the case of carbon and hydrogen, carbon has four electrons in its outermost shell, therefore it will form a covalent bond with four atoms of hydrogen each of which will donate one electron.

Which of the following modifies and smoothes the respiratory pattern?
stealth61 [152]

The correct answer is: A) pontine respiratory centers

The respiratory centre in the pons is responsible for generating and maintaining the rhythm of respiration. Besides this elementary function, it also has the ability to adjust respiration rhythm in c response to physiological changes. Respiratory centre consists of three major respiratory groups of neurons:

•  The dorsal respiratory group (DRG)- initiates inspiration (inhalation)

• the ventral respiratory group (VRG)-responsible for exhalation

• Pontine respiratory group- includes the pneumotaxic (controls both the rate and the pattern of breathing) and apneustic centers (promotes inhalation by sending signals to dorsal group).
