The correct answer is; "Assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups"

Polymers are formed from monomers either by condensation or by addition of monomers.

A polymer is formed by the joining of one or more monomers. This can happen in either of the following ways;

  • condensation
  • addition

Condensation polymerization involves the loss of a small molecule. When the molecule that is lost is water, we can call it dehydration. Loss of molecules does not occur in addition polymerization.

The two monomer molecules that join to yield the polymer by dehydration must have H and OH moieties in suitable positions for dehydration to occur. A typical example is assembling molecules in either hydroxyl or carboxyl functional groups.

What do the organisms in each trophic level eat
strojnjashka [21]
Trophic levels can be represented by numbers, starting at level 1 with plants. Further trophic levels are numbered subsequently according to how far the organism is along the food chain. Level 1: Plants and algae make their own food and are called primary producers.Level 2: Herbivores eat plants and are called primary consumers.Level 3: Carnivores that eat herbivores are called secondary consumers.Level 4: Carnivores that eat other carnivores are called tertiary consumers.Level 5: Apex predators that have no predators are at the top of the food chain.*Hope that helps XD*

Consider the statement "We are fish to a cladist." A cladist is someone who only recognizes groups descended from a common ances
kolezko [41]

Answer:

B. polyphyletic group

Explanation:

Polyphyletic group is a taxon which comprises of organisms which are unrelated and do not share a recent or immediate common ancestor. Polyphyletic group is often used to refer to a group of organisms with similar characteristics called homoplasies, but not inherited from  a common ancestor. This means that the organisms are of multiple origins irrespective of the traits that make them similar.

Therefore, from the question, because we do not consider ourselves fish, we would describe the group "fish" as polyphyletic.

During Mendel's first set of experiments, he allowed true-breeding tall plants
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

What Mendel wanted to happen was to obtain middle-sized plants. What actually happened was that Mendel got tall plants. Due to this result, Mendel called Reccesive to the genes thatdetermined the short offspring, and Dominant to the genes that determined the tall offspring.

Why is it difficult to evaporate seawater?
Alika [10]

Answer: Different liquids will evaporate differently depending on the force of attraction between the molecules of the liquid. The weaker the force of attraction the higher the rate of evaporation and vice versa.

In Sea water the water molecules are attracted to the salt ions and thus it requires more energy to evaporate.
