Which of the following best describe gas particles?

Biology
1 answer:
timama [110]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

a, b, d (see below)

Explanation:

So, looking at the 3 states of matter:

Solid - holds a shape and is made up of particles that vibrate in place (because particles are always moving no matter what)

Liquid - holds shape of its container and has particles with some space in between them that allow them to flow

Gas - holds shape of its container and has particles with huge gaps of space between them that are always, constantly moving and zooming around

Refer to the image below for a better visual understanding.

So, now, looking at the answer choices:

a) moving randomly

Yes. They are—they're speeding around super fast all the time.

Every time heat is added to something, the particles start loosening up and moving.<em> A lot.</em>

So when you add heat to a solid, it starts loosening up and moving around until it becomes flowy enough to be a liquid. Then, if more heat is added, the particles moving faster and loosen up even more until they're a gas.

Imagine doing that one more time, and you'll have plasma. As you may have guessed it, plasma moves <em>super fast</em>

<em />

b) collide into each other

Yes. Because they're moving so fast and uncontrollably all the time, they're bound to have rammed into one another a few or more times.

Imagine bumper cars at a carnival, except the speed of each car is sooo fast that you could be on a highway. You're probably going to hit someone, which is why bumper cars are not that fast in reality. For safety reasons.

c) move slow

No. Since we know that they're always zooming around (refer to my bumper car example above, in bold), they obviously can't be slow.

d) high kinetic energy

Yes. Anything moving (a.k.a. in motion) has kinetic energy. If gases zoom super fast 24/7, they will have high kinetic energy.

Having high kinetic energy means that the something is moving really fast or a lot. In this case, gases are both.

e) moving orderly

No. They're moving everywhere and really fast, so they have no control over how they move because of how fast they are.

(refer to my bumper car example in answer b, in bold)

In a population of 100 pea plants; 30 flowers have a genotype of WW, 40 have a genotype of Ww, and 30 have a genotype of ww. How
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

30.

Explanation:

There are total 30 "W" alleles are in the population. "W" alleles are the dominant alleles in the population because it appears in the shape and appearance of an organism while on the other hand, ''w'' is the recessive allele that has very less chance to be appear in the presence of dominant allele i. e. ''W''. So we can say that dominant alleles are appeared in the population.

Why is a frameshift mutation more damaging than a substitution?​
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Frameshift mutations change the entire protein sequence and messes up the entire amino acid sequence that occurs after mutations, but substitution only changes one single amino acid.
