<u><em>Dwarf planets are round bodies in space that orbit the sun, are not moons, and are not large enough to clear away their paths around the sun. Dwarf planets often have similar objects that orbit near them. Dwarf planets are larger than asteroids but are still too small to be classified as a planet.</em></u>

<u><em></em></u>

<u><em>Asteroids are large lumps of icy rock or metal moving around the Sun. More than 200 years ago, astronomers were looking for a new planet when they found the first asteroids. These asteroids are between Mars and Jupiter and it is called the Asteroid Belt. Asteroids are too small to be a planet or a dwarf planet.</em></u>

dwarf planet is a planetary-mass object that is neither a planet nor a natural satellite. That is, it is in direct orbit of the Sun, and is massive enough for its gravity to crush itself into a hydrostatic equilibrium shape (usually a spheroid), but has not cleared the neighborhood of other material around its orbit.

asteroids are rocks

Sarah is writing a paper explaining protein formation. Choose the correct way to complete each sentence.
Amanda [17]

Answer :

Amino acids join by forming (1) peptide bonds.  Water is released.

The chains of amino acids vary according to their (2) side chains, which each have differing makeup.  

These chains determine the protein’s structure and they fold to create a unique (3) third-dimensional shape.

Explanation :

Amino acid : The amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Amino acids are the compound which consist both amine (-NH_2) and carboxylic (-COOH) groups along with the side chains. In the protein, many amino acids are linked by the peptide bonds.

Th peptide bonds are formed by the combining of amino group of one amino acid to the carboxylic group of another amino acid by releasing of water.

Some examples of amino acids are glycine, lysine, alanine, etc.

Peptide bond formation image is shown below.

In the image 'R' can be contained by different groups like hydrogen, methyl, phenyl, etc

How does the environment influence natural selection?
Nonamiya [84]
The environment affects natural selection. Speices need to adapt to changes in environmnet. The weaker organisms which fail to adapt to environment perish while the stronger ones who adapt to the environment survive. This is how environment affects natural selection.

How many atoms are in two water molecules? pls and thxxxxxxxxx
arlik [135]

Answer:

A water molecule consists of three atoms; an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, which are bond together like little magnets. The atoms consist of matter that has a nucleus in the centre. one mole of water contains 6.02 x 1023 MOLECULES of water But each molecule of water contains 2 H and 1 O atom = 3 atoms, so there are approximately 1.8 x 1024 atoms in a mole of water.Feb 12, 2003
