HI there!

This Answer Can Easily Be Found By Analyzing What Increases the reaction rate.Several factors can increase the rate of a chemical reaction. In general, anything that increases the number of collisions between particles will increase the reaction rate, and anything that decreases the number of collisions between particles will decrease the chemical reaction rate.

INCREASE THE CONCENTRATION OF THE REACTANTS

A higher concentration of reactants leads to more collisions per unit time and leads to an increasing reaction rate.

INCREASE THE PRESSURE OF GASEOUS REACTANTS

Changing the pressure of gaseous reactants is, in effect, changing their concentration. The increased number of collisions caused by a higher pressure generally increases the reaction rate.

DECREASE THE PARTICLE SIZE OF SOLID REACTANTS

Reaction depends on collisions. If a reactant is a solid, grinding it into smaller particles will increase the surface area. The more surface area on which collisions can occur, the faster the reaction.

INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE

Usually, an increase in temperature causes an increase in the reaction rate. A higher temperature means that the molecules have a higher average kinetic energy and more collisions per unit time. It also increases the number of collisions that have enough energy to cause a reaction to take place.

CHANGE THE SOLVENT

The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the medium in which the reaction occurs. The reaction may go faster in an aqueous solution than in an organic solvent or in a more polar solvent.

ADD A CATALYST

Catalysts lower the activation energy of a chemical reaction and increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. They do this by an alternative mechanism that has a lower activation energy.

Analyzing the answers Given from A-C These answer have something to do with Decreasing. By decreasing The Temperature,Amount of reactants, And having less surface area will only Decrease our reaction rate.

Having this In mind, Our Correct answer is D

Hope this has Helped

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: More than 99 percent of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are extinct. As new species evolve to fit ever changing ecological niches, older species fade away. But the rate of extinction is far from constant. At least a handful of times in the last 500 million years, 75 to more than 90 percent of all species on Earth have disappeared in a geological blink of an eye in catastrophes we call mass extinctions.

Though mass extinctions are deadly events, they open up the planet for new forms of life to emerge. The most studied mass extinction, which marked the boundary between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods about 66 million years ago, killed off the nonavian dinosaurs and made room for mammals and birds to rapidly diversify

The height of wind formed waves depends on what three things?

Ganezh [65]

The height wind waves or waves generated by the wind are surface waves that occur on the surface of oceans, lakes, rivers, seas and canals etc. Waves can travel thousands of miles before reaching land. They range in size from small ripples to over 100 foot high. They are dependent on the following three things:
1. Wind speed - the height of waves is dependent on the speed of the wind. The faster the wind, the higher the waves and vice versa. 2. Wind direction - the height of waves is dependent on whether the wind is blowing offshore or onshore. Offshore winds blow from the land onto the sea so tend to cause bigger waves3. Storm winds in a cyclone or hurricane. These winds travel in circles around the eye of the storm and are usually very high in intensity. Depending on the intensity of the wind and the speed at which the wind is travelling, the wave height will differ.

Which is not true about euglena?

RUDIKE [14]

Well, Euglena is in phylum Euglenophyta, and Paramecium is in phylum Ciliophora. You can verify that with a quick Google search.

Does that sort of narrow it down? :)

What are the different structures and functions of roots?

seraphim [82]

Different structures and functions of roots

Explanation:

Roots are the underground descending non-green part of the plant.

Root functions: Anchorages the plant to the soil, absorbs water and nutrients from the soil.

Characteristics: Positively geotropic and hydrotropic, negatively phototropic; does not have nodes, internodes or stems.

Types:

Tap root
Adventitious root – fibrous, foliar and true adventitious roots

Structure and functions:

Root cap or Calyptra: Cap-like structure covering the root tip .

Function: protects the meristematic tissues of the root, secretes mucilage which enhances the root tips to grow into the hard soil.

Meristematic zone or growing point sub-terminal behind root cap. These cells are inverted and looks like a dome.

Function – helps in the root growth by adding new cells to the root tip and other basal regions

Zone of elongation behind the meristematic zone.

Function – helps in elongation of the root

Root hair zone: This is the zone of differentiation where cells differentiate into vascular tissues like phloem, xylem, endodermis, cortex etc.

The main function of root hair is to increase the total surface area of root to facilitate more absorption of water and other nutrients from the soil

Zone of maturation: the major and mature portion of a root.

Function - lateral roots originates from this zone and radial differentiation leads to secondary growth.
