Answer:

This shows that over time, some insects can become "pesticide-resistant" meaning that pesticides don't affect them anymore. And this only happens every few generations. Therefore, each generation is being naturally selected and accumulating variations that make them resist the chemicals. This shows that each cockroach's genes are changing to give them variation from the rest of the population.

I hope this helps!

Sucrose and lactose are disaccharides that have the same chemical formula, C12H22O11. However, these sugars have different chara
d1i1m1o1n [39]
The answer is <span>Disaccharides are different in structure because they are not made up of the same monosaccharides, and this gives them different properties.

Both sucrose and lactose are disaccharides, however, they are made up different monosaccharides:
Disaccharide = monosaccharide + monosaccharide
Sucrose = glucose + fructose
Lactose = glucose + </span>galactose 

Since they have different structures, their characteristics and behaviour in chemical reactions must differ, too.

What quantity is equal between two solutions that are isotonic ?
bazaltina [42]

An isotonic solution is a solution in which the amount of dissolved material is equal both inside and outside of the cell. Water still flows in both directions, but an equal amount enters and leaves the cell.  Hope this helps. :)

Which of the following are part of the body’s first line of defense against pathogens?
Fed [463]

The answer is "D"

The body's first line of defense is also known as Innate immunity and incudes mucous membranes. Both the intact skin and mucous membranes of the body offer a high degree of protection against pathogens.

 A good example is the mucous membrane of the respiratory tract. It is lined up with cilia and covered with mucus. The coordinated beating of the cilia drives the mucus up to the nose and mouth where the trapped bacteria can be expelled.

(Lymph nodes and white blood cells belong to the second line of defense, not the first)
