Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

The mechanical weathering refers to the break down of rocks into smaller particles or sediments by the physical processes. This takes place in the terrestrial areas. The temperature and rainfall plays an essential role in controlling the rate of mechanical weathering. They are also known as physical weathering.

The mechanical weathering process takes place in different ways-

(1) In the region where the temperature is relatively cold, the rocks that are comprised of fractures traps water in it during the day time and at night the water in these fractures gets frozen. As a result of this, the volume of water in the ice increases by about 9%, and it exerts a pressure on the sides of the rocks due to which the rock breaks. This process is known as the freeze and thaw method.

(2) In the places where there is maximum rainfall and temperature, the rocks get affected. The water and the wind flows over the rock surface, and due to the abrasion process, the rocks are eroded by water and wind respectively.

(3) In the regions where temperature changes occur frequently, the rocks undergo expansion in the day time due to high temperature and undergo contraction in the nighttime due to low temperature. Due to this continuous expansion and contraction process, the rocks are weathered.

Thus, the process of breaking down of rocks due to the physical processes is known as the mechanical weathering process.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B).

Answer:

13 - D

14 - D

15 - C

Explanation:

for 13

A molecule is two or more atoms chemically combined

An example would be carbon dioxide which contains the two atoms, carbon and oxygen

Reasons its not the other answers:

Electrons, Protons and Neutrons are all parts of an atom therefore they cannot be classified as molecules.

For 14

Remember an atom is the most basic unit out of the units we are talking about

The answer would be D

Reasons its not the other answers

Water is considered to be a molecules as it contains two or more atoms (hydrogen and oxygen)

Air is considered to be a mixture as it contains oxygen and nitrogen which can be separated

Salt is considered to be a compound because salt is made up of two atoms (chloride and sodium) in which they are held up by an ionic bond

For 15

The answer would be C (III only)

Carbon hydrogen and oxygen all happen to by atoms

Reasons its not other answer choices:

Like stated previously water is considered to be a molecule therefore we can eliminate the other answer choices

Other notes:

Compounds and molecules both are combinations of two or more atoms however they are not to be mixed together

the main difference between compounds and molecules is how they are held together

Compounds are held together by ionic bonds while molecules are help up by covalent bonds

compounds and molecules  are made up of atoms that cannot be separated

Mixtures - A mix of two or more substances that can be separated

Which is the most diverse group of seedless vascular plants?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The most diverse group of seedless vascular plants are <u>the ferns .</u>

Explanation:

Ferns -

Ferns are the most advance seedless vascular plants and is the most diverse group . Ferns have branching roots and large leaves . But the whisk ferns , have lack of roots and leaves due to evolutionary reduction . In the process of evolutionary reduction , the natural selection reduces the size of the structure which no longer favors the particular environment . Hence , Photosynthesis in whisk ferns takes place in their green stem .

This problem has been solved!
larisa [96]

Answer:

The smallest size tube that will hold the entire reaction is 0.5ml

Explanation:

25ul (DNA sample) + 25ul (enzyme) + 50ul (buffer) + 400ul (water) = 500ul total

since 1000ul=1ml, then 500ul = 0.5ml

Answer:

The device that mostlikely would not be used P20

Explanation:

P20 is a pipette used to measure and sample volumes of 20ul maximum.

Answer:

The reaction mix will have 400 units of the enzyme.

The working dilution will be 0.8 Units/ul.

Explanation:

The mix has 20ul of the enzyme which is 20Units/ul. Then we have 20ulx20Units/ul= 400 Units of enzyme in the mix.

Since the final volume is 500ul, the final concentration 400Units/500ul=0.8 Units/ul.
