Answer:
1. an eclipse of the Sun
2. state (phase) of matter
3. 5.0 g/cm3
Explanation:
1. Eclipse of the sun occurs when the planetary bodies align in such a way that causes the moon to block sunlight from reaching the Earth. The eclipse of the Sun will be the most predictable occurrence because it follows a pattern of occurrence. Eclipse of the sun occurs after a specific period of time, hence, based on this, scientists can predict that when it will occur next using its previous pattern of occurrence.
2. Considering the following groups: Group A: water, aluminum, water vapor
Group B: gasoline, ice, air
Group C: alcohol, iron, oxygen
One would realize that each constituent of each group exists in a particular state of matter. For example, in group B, gasoline is a liquid, ice is a solid while air is a gaseous mixture. Same applies for group A and C where water and alcohol are liquids, iron and aluminum are solids, while water vapor and oxygen are gases.
This shows that the STATE (PHASE) OF MATTER was the basis of classification.
3.
A cladogram is a diagram used to represent a hypothetical relationship between groups of animals, called a phylogeny.
In this set of examples the answer is:
D) The lamprey does not have a vertical column
Lampreys have a notochord that remains throughout life, but they have primitive vertebrae made of cartilage. Lampreys have vertebral arches, but nothing resembling the vertebral bodies found in all higher vertebrates. Even the arches are discontinuous, consisting of separate pieces of arch-shaped cartilage around the spinal cord in most parts of the body, changing to long strips of cartilage above and below in the tail region.
Answer:
The capillary action of water helps it to move from the roots to the leaves in plants
Explanation:
A cell membrane pump helps human cells to maintain a relatively constant sodium and potassium concentration.
<u>Option: A</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sodium potassium pump is a plasma membrane protein that utilizes energy ATP — Triphosphate Adenosine turning into ADP — Adenosine Diphosphate to deliver intracellular and extracellular sodium (NA+) and potassium (K+) ions sequentially. The purpose of this entire mechanism is to preserve cell equilibrium.
The extracellular medium has a greater concentration of Na while the K concentration of the intracellular fluid is lower. Proteins trap sodium ions in the cytoplasm and pump them out from the cells to preserve cell stability while preserving concentrations. Within the cells proteins inject potassium ions into the cell.
