Answer: b It changes from a solid to a liquid

Explanation:

Solid state : In this state, the molecules are arranged in regular and repeating pattern. The molecules are closely packed that means they are fixed and vibrate in place but they can not move from one place to another.

Liquid state : In this state, the molecules are present in random and irregular pattern. The molecules are closely packed but they can move from one place to another.

Gaseous state : In this state, the molecules are present in irregular pattern. The molecules are not closely packed and they can move freely from one place to another and spread out.

In solid the particles are closely packed as the inter molecular forces of attraction are strongest. As energy is added to solids, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases and thus the molecules start moving farther and convert to liquid state. The process is called melting.

Approximately what percentage of potatoes grown in the united states are processed into products like chips and instant mashed p

irina [24]

<span>50% of potatoes grown in the United States are processed into products like chips and instant mashed potatoes. Potato chips are a billion dollar industry. Lay's made over 1.7 billion dollars in sales in 2017 and other companies made at least millions, which means that a lot of potatoes would be needed to reach these type of figures. The instant mashed potatoes number is not really surprising either considering how much the United States relies on processed food.</span>

If r-organisms reproduce at such a high rate, why don’t they usually reach their carrying capacity? If an r-population is moved

Ghella [55]

R-organisms are usually bellow carrying capacity (<span>the maximum size of some population that can survive in the given environment)</span>. Those organisms are small and produce a great number of offspring. However, their life expectancy is short and many individuals die within a short time. Because of the high rate of death, they do not live long enough to reach their carrying capacity. Their life span is short, so even if predators were removed from the population, it would not be expected they will reach their carrying capacity.

Which best describes radiometric dating?

DIA [1.3K]

The answer is; B

Rocks have naturally occurring and spontaneously radioactive atoms in them, such as carbon-14. These element isotopes decay into other types of atoms over millions of years. Therefore, by measuring the amount of these radiometric substances, and knowing the half-life of the isotopes, it is possible to postulate the age of a rock to within certain ranges of error.

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end

Explanation:

DNA replication process produces the exact copy of DNA which requires various enzymes. The function of adding a nucleotide to the daughter strand is performed by the enzyme called DNA polymerase.

The DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the process of DNA replication which requires energy provided by the dNTP. The enzyme adds new nucleotides at 3'-OH end of the DNA which favour the reaction energetically.

Thus, the new DNA strand appears to be elongated in the 5' to 3' direction.
