Biology

Answer:

Argon's atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

Explanation:

Atoms are the most basic unit of matter that makes up elements. Atoms are composed of electrons orbiting neutrons and protons surrounding a nucleus.

The atomic number is defined as the number of protons in an atom, while the atomic mass is the number of protons and neutrons.

The element Argon, Ar is a noble gas, that exists in a gaseous, inert, state at temperature. Its atoms have 18 protons, 22 neutrons in its nucleus, orbited by 18 electrons- its atomic mass= P 18 +N 22.

There are 8 valence electrons in its outer shell, thus:

  • Ar is not very reactive, as it does not require electron sharing in atomic bonding.
  • It shows low conductivity, as there are no free electrons

describe the basic process of evolution by natural selection. Describe the underlying genetic basis and role of the environment
shepuryov [24]

Answer AND Explanation:

Darwin describes natural selection as a process whereby nature selects those organisms that have favourable characteristics to be parents of the next generation. The individuals possessing the favourable traits are better suited to the prevailing environmental conditions. This enables them to stand a better chance to survive in the struggle for existence due to limited resources.

Explain how the work of the following folks contributed to the development of the Theory of Natural Selection
EleoNora [17]

Thomas Malthus was economist who proposed that human populations grow faster than the resources they depend on which becomes limiting factor for them, causing the increase of populations but also increase of famine and diseases. As a consequence, the weakest members die. Darwin linked this with the “survival of the fittest" (naturals elections favors the best suited for reproduction and survival).

Georges Cuvier was anti-evolutionist and religious man, but he did have influence on Darwin theory of evolution (natural selection). He was against linear system of classification so, his believes that there is more than one lineage for species helped Darwin shaped his theory.

Charles Lyell geologists who believed that geologic processes that were at the beginning of time were the same ones that were happening at the current time (processes work the same way through time). He explained that slow changes built up over time, so Darwin linked that with the way that life on Earth changes. (small adaptations that accumulated over long periods of time change a species).

Which of the following statements is true?
Lisa [10]

Answer: All membrane lipids are amphipathic

Explanation:

The membrane lipid molecules are amphathic in nature which states that they are both hydrophobic and hydrophillic part. The lipid bi layer has been found tot be the most widely found in cell structure.

The structure is made of phosphorus and lipids and hence called as phospholipids.

The amphipathic nature of the lipids allows it to assemble spontaneously into bi layers even under the artificial conditions.

hence, all the lipids in the cell membrane or membranes are amphipathic in nature.
