Iron is a type of metal. Therefore, the iron has a sparkling surface nature. However Iron is easy to rusty. Why?​

Biology
1 answer:
mihalych1998 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When iron gets in contact with oxygen (or water, which also contains oxygen) it starts giving electrons to the oxygen atoms, in a process called oxidisation, and when that occurs, iron oxide (Fe_2 O_3) is made.

Note: iron oxide is what we call rust. And, iron is so easy to rust because it usually isn't mixed with any other protective metals or covered in protective films.

Hope it helped,

Receptors that provide animals with information from the external environment are located in the _____.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Receptors which provide animals with information from the external environment are located in ears, tongue, eyes, and the nose. These are all receptors that can be found in our sensory organs and provide us with feedback from our nearby environment and the stimuli on which we should be alerted towards.

Identify three herbivores and carnivores from finding nemo
Minchanka [31]
<span>Okay, so herbivores are animals that feed on plants, so in Finding Nemo, those would be Bubbles (a yellow tang), the turtles, and Dory (a blue tang). On the other hand, carnivores are all animals that eat meat in order to survive, so in this cartoon, those animals would be primarily the sharks: Chum (a maiko shark), Bruce (a great white shark), and Anchor (a hammerhead shark). </span>

Provide an adaptive and a nonadaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of useless organs, such as eyes in many cave-dwelling
Zepler [3.9K]

In order to be able to Provide an adaptive and a non-adaptive hypothesis, the following is required

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

It refers to a trait or an integrated set of traits that increases the fitness of an organism. It is the process of improving the fit of phenotype to environment through natural selection.

<h3>What is non adaptation?</h3>

it refers to those traits that do not result in the better adaptation of the organism to its environment, and does not increase the genetic fitness of the organism.

Let us take the case of vain organs. There may be a metabolic value to constructing a vain organ, and subsequently the humans who have misplaced that organ might also have a selective advantage. Also, if the organ is useless, the mutations that disrupt the improvement of that organ would be evolutionarily neutral, and may want to unfold to fixation via genetic drift.

So an adaptive hypothesis as to why an organism may lose useless organs is energy trade offs. The organism may additionally be losing energy in growing and retaining a vain organ, whilst this strength can be higher used someplace else. So an organism that lives in a darkish cave might also sooner or later lose its eyes considering eyes are of no use inside a darkish cave.

A non adaptive hypothesis for the evolutionary loss of organs can be random mutation. If a random mutation occurs that causes an organism to lose its eyes, in a dark cave where it does not use its eyes anyway, it could still survive, reproduce and pass that mutation down.

Elastic cartilage and most hyaline cartilages are surrounded by a protective sheath called a:.
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Perichondrium

Explanation:

Elastic cartilage (like hyaline cartilage) has chondrocytes located in lacunae and the tissue is surrounded by a perichondrium. The perichondrium (Figure 7–2) is a sheath of dense connective tissue that surrounds cartilage in most places, forming an interface between the cartilage and the tissues supported by the cartilage. The perichondrium harbors the blood supply serving the cartilage and a small neural component. Articular cartilage, which covers the ends of bones in movable joints and which erodes in the course of arthritic degeneration, lacks perichondrium.
