When you drop oil into cup of water, why does it hold together instead of breaking up in the water? Name at least three common s

1. Oils are hydrophobic. Liquid water is held together by hydrogen bonds, and oils do not have a polar part, and it can not break hydrogen bonds, so it is forced to not dissolve in the water.

2. Three common substances which are examples of lipids that relate to driving is oil, one common substance of lipids that is related to eating is butter, and one substance of lipids that is related to your body are fats.

1. Which grouping in the animal kingdom is the only one that contains organisms with vertebrae?
harkovskaia [24]

Vertebrata

Vertebrata is a group that contains various organisms which possess vertebrae (backbones). Animals that belong to the group are called vertebrates, and they include mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and reptiles. The backbones in the animals extends from the head to the tail, and it encloses and protects the main nerve cord. The body of vertebrates is divided into trunk, and tail regions. They also possess a unique tube shaped brain, a distinct head, and three pairs of sense organs.

Explain what frame shift means and is it more or less likely to cause a noticeable mutation than a substitution
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift mutation can be described as a genetic mutation in which a single nucleotide or more than one nucleotide is inserted or deleted from the sequence of the DNA. As the gene expresses itself in the form of triplets of a genetic code, insertion or deletion can cause devastating changes in the genetic code due to which wrong proteins will be synthesized.

Frameshift mutations can be more noticeable than the substitution mutation. In a substitution mutation, only one of the nucleotides is shifted with another. The entire genetic code is not affected by it.

During the day what typically happens to air pressure? During the night what typically happens to air temperature?
dolphi86 [110]
A sea breeze describes the wind that blows from the ocean inland towards land. This breeze occurs most often in the spring and summer months because of the greater temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land, particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun. 
During the day, the sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land. Water is a good absorber of the energy from the sun. The land absorbs much of the sun’s energy as well.  However, water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean. The warm air over the land will rise throughout the day, causing low pressure at the surface. Over the water, the high surface pressure will form because of the colder air. To compensate, the air will sink over the ocean. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze. The sea breeze strength will vary depending on the temperature difference between the land and the ocean.
At night, the roles reverse. The air over the ocean is now warmer than the air over the land. The land loses heat quickly after the sun goes down and the air above it cools too.  This can be compared to a blacktop road. During the day, the blacktop road heats up and becomes very hot to walk on. At night, however, the blacktop has given up the added heat and is cool to the touch. The ocean, however, is able to hold onto this heat after the sun sets and not lose it as easily. This causes the low surface pressure to shift to over the ocean during the night and the high surface pressure to move over the land. This causes a small temperature gradient between the ocean surface and the nearby land at night and the wind will blow from the land to the ocean creating the land breeze.

Explain how genetic information is stored in DNA and how this information is used to make functional proteins.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- codons and each codon specific for amino acids.

Explanation:

Deoxyribose nucleic acid is the genetic material of the organism which provides instructions for the organism.  DNA is made up of nucleotide monomers which are composed of five-carbon sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate group and four types of nitrogenous bases (adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine).

It is the arrangement of these nitrogenous bases which provide codes to the organism as it forms mRNA molecule through transcription. The sequence of the nitrogenous bases in mRNA is read by the ribosome during translation.

The ribosome reads the bases in triplets called "codon" which code for a specific amino acid. If the sequence of the base changes, therefore, the amino acid also changes. These amino acids bond to each other by peptide bond and form a protein molecule.
