Which definition best describes an acid?

Biology
2 answers:
MArishka [77]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

An acid is a chemical species that donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bonded that can release (dissociate) to yield a cation and an anion in water. The higher the concentration of hydrogen ions produced by an acid, the higher its acidity and the lower the pH of the solution. Hope this helps.

Why were slaves important to the colonial economy? Hint: discuss economic interdependence found in the lesson Answer:
bekas [8.4K]

There are many reasons to why slaves were essential in the colonial economy:

Slaves were generally used more in the south, because large plantations were found there, which meant that the need for large amounts of workers.

Slaves provided cheap labors, and as they were not "citizens" of the US, they were not allowed their rights.

Slaves were also relatively easy to buy and replace, however, their survival rates were not that good after they traveled long distance.

etc.

hope this helps

Suppose that in unicorns, two autosomal loci interact to determine the type of tail. One locus controls whether a tail is presen
Nina [5.8K]

Explanation:

As you can see in the picture below, this is a dihybrid cross with a twist.

We can accomplish that mutually parentages are heterozygotes for both characters because the genotypes are  

9 unicorns with curly tails (shown in green)

3 with straight tails (shown in red)

3  curly tales trait carriers with no tail (shown in dark blue)

1  straight tail trait carriers with no tail ( shown in light blue)

If this was an ordinary case of the dihybrid cross, we would get a 9:3:3:1 phenotype ratio.

However, since the first trait, the presence of the tail, is affecting the other trait, the trait texture, the ratio is altered.

\frac{1}{4} of the offspring (genotypes tt C_   and tt SS) has no tail, therefore we cannot observe the texture of the tail (some of the tailless individuals have Curly alleles -blue squares marked with green, some of them have Straight alleles -blue square marked with red ).

Therefore, the altered ratio is  \frac{1}{2} curly tails,\frac{1}{4} straight tales, \frac{1}{4} tailless

Which of the following statements about action potentials is correct?A) Action potentials for a given neuron vary in magnitude.B
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Action potential refers to the generation of electrical activity due to the influx and efflux of ions in the cell.

The cell which transmits the action potential is known as the neuron and the neuron maintains the membrane potential at -70 mv. The influx of sodium ions causes depolarization when it crosses the threshold value.  

The generated action potential now travels in the neuron through its long tubular structure called an axon.  The axon transmits the signal from the cell body towards the axon terminal and thus is known as the down the axon.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
