Biology

klemol [59]3 years ago
7 0
When the starfish were removed from the area as part of an experiment, the mussel population swelled and crowded out other species. The biodiversity of the ecosystem was drastically reduced. Payne's study showed that identifying and protecting keystone species can help preserve the population of many other species.

Rock B reacts with hydrochloric acid. State the name of the rock B
choli [55]

Answer:

The sedimentary rock limestone which contains carbonate mineral Calcite and the metamorphic rocks which contain carbonate mineral Aragonite are the examples of rocks which react strongly with hydrochloric acid.

Explanation:

Rocks are naturally occurring structures formed on the Earth's crust and are composed of aggregate minerals. Classification of rocks: Igneous rocks - formed by cooling of magma on Earth's crust or seabed (basalts, gabbros, granite, etc), sedimentary rocks - formed over time by the accumulation of sediments from the weathering of existing rocks or fragments of minerals and organisms (mudstone, sandstone, shale, limestone, dolostone, siltstone, etc) and metamorphic rocks - transformed rocks formed from the existing rocks that are subjected to large pressures and temperatures (schists, gneiss, marble, etc).

The carbonate minerals like calcite, dolomite, aragonite, etc react with hydrochloric acid and release carbon dioxide gas bubbles. Calcite (calcium carbonate), which is found in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks in a varying proportion reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid. So, the sedimentary rock Limestone which mainly contains calcite react strongly with the acid while Dolostone which mainly contains dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate) reacts less vigorously. Another carbonate mineral aragonite, found in metamorphic rocks also reacts strongly with hydrochloric acid.

A bacteria culture starts with 200 bacteria and in 1 hour contains 400 bacteria. How many hours does it take to reach 2000 bacte
RSB [31]

Answer:

At 0hr it was 200 bacteria

At 1 hr it doubled and was 400

Means: at every 1 hr the population of the bacteria doubles

400 bacteria = 1hr

2000 bacteria = X

X = 2000 × 1 / 400

X = 5 hrs

The flesh on the inside of an apple is white, and devoid of pigments. Why is this the case?
andriy [413]

Answer:

The outside only looks pigmented because of the color reflecting off it, but the inside is white and unpigmented because it is reflecting all the colors. Does this help?
