A dichotomous key helps you identify unknown specimens based on their traits because there are only two options available per trait. Selecting one from the two options (usually contrasting characteristics) from each step leads to smaller and smaller groups until the option is reduced to single and unique trait of an organism.
Considering you need to identify an organism. So, on the top of they key is animal with options: (a) with red blood cells and (b) no red blood cells. The option you will select is no red blood cells and under option b, you’re given two choices again: (a) hard bodies and (b) soft bodies. You’ll select soft bodies, then two options again are given: (a) with shell and (b) without shell. The option you’ll select would be without shell, and so on.
<u>Answer:</u>
Option (C)
There is no change in mass during a chemical reaction;
<u>Explanation:</u>
The law of mass conservation can better explain this phenomenon. According to the rule, "Energy can not be either produced, nor can it be lost."
In simpler terms, the total masses of all substance involved in a chemical reaction are same. Furthermore, the total atoms on either sides, i.e., reactant side and product side are the b.
The hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is indicated by its <u>pH </u>value.
Explanation:
- A measure of acidity or alkalinity of water soluble substances (pH stands for 'potential of Hydrogen'). A pH value is a number from 1 to 14, with 7 as the middle point.
- Under normal circumstances this means that the concentration of hydrogen ions in acidic solution can be taken to be equal to the concentration of the acid.
- The pH is then equal to minus the logarithm of the concentration value.
- Values below 7 indicate acidity which increases as the number decreases, 1 being the most acidic.
- The pH of a solution is a measure of hydrogen ion concentration, which in turn is a measure of its acidity.
- Pure water dissociates slightly into equal concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl (OH−) ions. For a neutral solution, [H+] is 10−7, or pH = 7.
Dehydration would happen if not my mistaken
