Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Lanark proposed a theory of evolution hinged on use and disuse of body parts. This is a theory that upholds the transfer of acquired traits to offsprings. Darwin's theory of evolution was rather based on natural selection or 'survival of the fittest'. Darwin's theory has more evidence backing it compared to Lamarck's theory. The field of genetics which appeared long after Darwin's death confirmed that inherited traits are indeed passed from parents to offsprings. These inherited traits are usually those that give organisms an edge over others in their environment.
Earthworms are brown and not green or beige because, the brown earthworms have the same colour as the soil and are better enabled to escape from predators. From Darwin's theory, the brown earthworms are the 'fittest' hence they survive in their environment. Lamarck's theory may approach the matter from the point that earthworms move with their bodies on the soil more frequently, hence they 'acquired' the brown colour and passed it on to their offspring.
From the activity, "Hiding in the Background", individual worms spent their entire life cycle in either green or beige colour. Their colour didn't change as a result of the environment where they lived, rather the green earthworms were more in number, not particularly because of any specific changes the earthworms themselves had undergone, but because most of their predators concentrated on eating the beige worms. As a result of this, there were many green worms when the next generation began compared to the number of beige worms. Hence, there were more green earthworms.
Answer:
Viscosity
Explanation:
The viscosity of the liquid is the independent variable. The flow rate is the dependent variable in this hypothesis.
The statement given is called the hypothesis. It is a form of scientific guess into a phenomenon.
- An independent variable is the cause.
- A dependent variable is the effect produced.
- In this hypothesis, the cause of the various flow rate of the liquid is the viscosity.
- It is therefore the independent variable.
- The flow rate is the dependent variable.
Democritus (460-370 BC) was a Greek philosopher who theorized that all matter could be reduced to particles that could not be divided, which he described as “atomos.”
John Dalton (1766-1844) Proposed the atomic theory.
Answer:
The identity of unknown substance is Barium.
Explanation:
The given compound has a formula of MCl2. And the percentage of chlorine in this compound is said to be 34.1 %. But, we know that the mass of chlorine in this compound is, 35.5*2 = 71 g
Therefore, if we let x be the total mass of the compound, then:
34.1% of x = 71 g
(0.341)x = 71 g
x = 71 g/0.341
x = 208.2 g
Hence, the mass of other atom M, must be:
M = x - 71 g
M = 208.2 g - 71 g
M = 137.2 g
Now, we look into periodic table in group II. We find that the element is Barium with atomic mass of 137 g.
<u>The identity of unknown substance is Barium.</u>
