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.

Answer:

Option A, The trees had become coated with soot and the dark moths were better camouflaged.

Explanation:

During the industrial revolution, bark of the trees became dark in color due to which the light colored moth were easily identifiable.  

In response to this environmental change, the moth also evolved and became dark in color.  

However, the total moth population of moth then constituted of both light and dark colored moths but the birds could eat only the light colored moth because they could not camouflaged themselves against the color of trees’ bark.

igomit [66]

Answer:

C. Understand the process

Explanation:

When scientists create models of earthquakes, they are trying to learn more about them to try and keep people safe in the event that one does happen. It is practically impossible to change the location of an earthquake or stop it from occuring, since earthquakes are caused by the movement of massive continental plates. Scientists also definitely do not want to increase the waves formed in the process, as this would contribute to the damage. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C, understand the process. Hope this helps!
