Sulfur emissions from industry combine with water in the atmosphere and form acid rain. A new factory is built very close to the lake that Josh visits often. By examining the table that shows what pH range different species can survive, Josh decides that the aquatic life will be affected by the changes in pH that the lake. Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are
A) perch and frogs.
B) mayfly and bass.
C) snails and clams.
D) frogs and salamanders.
The correct answer is option (C) snails and clams.
Acid rain is formed when oxides of sulfur and nitrogen combine with water molecules. Industries are one of the major contributors to acid rain. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity in water.
A factory built close to the lake can cause acid rain which affects the pH of the lake. Any change in the pH of the lake has an effect on the organisms in it. A pH of 7 is considered to be neutral and pH values below 7 indicates acidity and pH values above 7 indicates alkalinity. Organisms have an acid tolerance level beyond which they are affected and can die. Perch has an acid tolerance of up to pH 4.5 and frogs can tolerate an acidic pH of 4.0. The acid tolerance level of Mayfly and Bass is a pH of 5.5. Salamanders can tolerate an acidic pH of 5. Whereas, Snails and Clams have a very less pH tolerance of 6. They are highly susceptible to acidic pH.
Thus, Josh correctly decides that organisms that will be the most affected are snails and clams.
I am not sure what is the answer
Answer:
Independent variable: Glass of milk
Dependent variable: Time of sleep
Control variable: same type of milk
Explanation:
Independent variable in an experiment refers to the variable that the experimenter manipulates or changes in order to get a response in another variable (dependent). In this case, the independent variable is the GLASS OF MILK taken before bed.
Dependent variable is that variable that is measured in an experiment. It is the variable that responds to the changes made to the independent variable. In this experiment, the dependent variable is the TIME OF SLEEP of the students.
A control variable or constant is the variable that is kept unchanged throughout the course of the experiment in order not to alter the outcome of the experiment. In this experiment, a control variable can be the SAME TYPE OF MILK taken by each student.
Answer: Homeostasis
Explanation: One way that a cell maintains homeostasis is by controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane. The lipid bilayer is selectively permeable to small, nonpolar substances. Proteins in the cell membrane include cell-surface markers, receptor proteins, enzymes, and transport proteins.
Three lots with parallel side boundaries extend from the avenue to the boulevard as shown in the diagram attached.
Given;
x + y + z = 140 metersAccording to the proportion theorem,
Solving for x, using cross multiplication:
Similarly,
x/40 = z/35
solving for z by cross multiplication,
z = 35x/40
z = 7x/8
Now, the third proportions,
y/30 = z/35
Solving for y,
y = 30z/35
y = 6z/7
x + y + z = 140
4y/3 + 6z/7 + 7x/8 = 140
(224y + 144z + 147x)/168 = 140
224y + 144z + 147x = 23520
Substitutoing z = 7x/8,
224y + (144 × 7x/8) + 147x = 23520
224y + 126x + 147x = 23520
224y + 273x = 23520
Now,
Substitute y = 3x/4
(224×3x/4) + 273x = 23520
168x + 273x = 23520
441x = 23520
x = 53.33
Now,
We know that
y = 3x/4
so,
y = 40
And,
z = 7x/8
Z = 46.66
