In the southeastern United States, there is a small type of lizard called a fence lizard. They have short legs and live under le

aves and dead logs.
Over the last 70 years, fire ants have moved into the lizard's environment. When fire ants sting the lizards on their body, the lizards can die
Scientists have observed that in places with fire ants and lizards living together for a long time, the lizards have longer legs. In places where fire
ants have only been there a short time, the lizards' legs are shorter overall
Fire ants move into a new environment with the lizards. What will most likely happen to the lizard population over the next several years?
A. Some of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants, and they would pass on those traits to their
offspring. The other lizards would die
B. All of the lizards would try to develop new traits to avoid the ants. They would all survive and pass on those traits to
their offspring
OC. Due to random mutations, some lizard offspring are born with different traits that help them avoid the fire ants. These
offspring will most likely survive and reproduce, while the lizards born without those traits will die.

What refrigerant safety group classification has the highest flammability and the highest toxicity?
timama [110]

Answer;

-B3

Explanation;

Refrigerants are divided into two groups according to toxicity:

-Class A signifies refrigerants for which toxicity has not been identified at concentrations less than or  equal to 400 ppm;  and

-Class B signifies refrigerants for which there is evidence of toxicity at concentrations below 400 ppm.

They are also divided into three groups according to flammability:

-Class 1 indicates refrigerants that do not show flame propagation when tested in air at 21°C and 101  kPa;

-Class 2 indicates refrigerants having a lower flammability limit of more than 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and  101 kPa and a heat of combustion of less than 19 kJ/kg;

-Class 3 indicates refrigerants that are highly flammable as defined by a lower flammability limit of less  than or equal to 0.10 kg/m3  at 21°C and 101 kPa or a heat of combustion greater than or equal to 19  kJ/kg.

-Therefore; the answer for the above question would be Class B and class 3.
