We know that oil floats on water and do not mix
<span>
What happens to the oil when you first pour it in? It flows into the water, but then seperates.
Why does this happen? oil is lighter than water and the molecules of the oil are attracted to the other oil molecules, not water, the water molecules the same
What kinds of animals would be most affected by an oil spill at the beginning? animals that live their lives near the surface of the ocean. Why? because now the water that was clear and free-flowing is now dark and sticky. oil also changes the way how some animals survive so make their ways less effective. one example are birds like pelicans
Use a spoon to stir the oil for 30 seconds.
Answer the following questions:
What natural action stirs the real ocean? ocean currents caused by wind and the earth's roation
What happened to the oil? went back to the top
Even if you can’t see it, is all the oil still in your ocean? yes
Which animals in the ocean become affected after wave and current
action causes some of the oil to settle to the bottom, or be absorbed
into the water? bottom-feeders
Add a splash of dish detergent to the mixture and stir.
Answer the following questions:
What happened to the oil? it mixed with the water Is it all still in the ocean? yes
Sometimes cleanup efforts involve dumping a soap mixture over a spill area. Why is this done? to bond the oil to the detergent and the detergent to the water. so they can grab all the oil
What might be a negative effect of dumping the soap?</span> soap has chemicals that could upset the ballance of the ecosystem and kil some animals/plants
Answer: If a land fertilizer were used on the algae it would severely damage the plant and suffocate it.
Explanation: Fertilizers are used by homeowners to maintain and improve landscape beauty and quality. In recent years, increased use of home lawn and garden fertilizers has caused concern about pollution of lakes and groundwater. Proper fertilizer application can enhance plant growth without polluting the environment. Yet, misuse of fertilizer may not only harm the environment—especially ground and surface water—but may in fact result in injury to landscape plants as well. The nutrient phosphorus harms clear, free water by creating algal blooms. This process, known as eutrophication, turns the water green, clouds the water, causes odor problems, and depletes the oxygen for fish and other species, effectively suffocating them.
The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:
Protein carrier
Lipid carrier
Porin carrier
All of the choices are correct
Answer:
Protein carrier
Explanation:
The transport of molecules through diffusion can be passive or facilitated. The facilitated diffusion in which the molecules are facilitated to cross required tow type of protein channels which are the channel proteins and the carrier proteins.
The carrier proteins are the transmembrane proteins which are specific for ions and to transport the molecules change their shape of conformation. The change in the shape is responsible for the release of ions on the other side of the membrane.
Thus, Protein carrier is correct.
Enzymes are catalysts for reactions Their activity (how well they work) increases and decreases with temperature
Answer:
The correct answer is b. I and II
Explanation:
Sexual reproduction is present in higher forms of life and absent in prokaryotes like bacteria. Sexual reproduction results in greater evolutionary changes due to the fusion of two different gametes from two different individuals of a species.
Therefore sexual reproduction helps in increased genetic diversity in higher forms of life. In prokaryotes like bacteria, genetic diversity is maintained and increased through DNA transfer from one bacterial cell to another with the help of a process known as horizontal gene transfer.
Bacteria have sex pilli which is used to introduce the genes to the other bacteria. By this process, they increase their genetic diversity and evolve continuously. So the correct is b. I and II.
