Answer:
Rock
Explanation:
Minerals are inorganic substances that occur naturally in nature and have a
a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure while rocks may consists of one or many minerals together along with some organic remains due to which it may not look shiny and crystalline from outside.
Here, the two characteristics that enable the reader to identify the object given by grandmother to Emily as rock are –
a) Looks ugly on the outside (shows the presence of organic matter)
b) solid purple color with pretty crystals (crystalline structure inside)
Answer:
Dust bowl resulted from extreme drying and loosening of the soil that resulted in soil erosion by wind. Thus, it can be related that poor agricultural practices like over plowing , over grazing and leaving the land barren are human activities that must have contributed to the dust bowl.
Explanation:
- Dust bowl is referred to a period in early twentieth century when the the American and Canadian prairies faced severe dust storms.
- These dust storms resulted from severe drought and failure of practices to prevent soil erosion.
- Several people and livestock died as a result of choking.
- Over plowing, removal of top soil and small grasses exposed the soil to eroding winds and caused the dust storms.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The net movements of water from the region of higher water potential to the region of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane is osmosis. It is a form of diffusion which involves the transport of water molecules.
In this present scenario water molecules pass through the selectively permeable membrane from higher water potential in the body, to lower water potential but high solute potential (Epsom salts). The later is called an hypertonic solution,this is because it has higher solute potential ,thus higher salt concentration than the surrounding medium,therefore water pass by osmosis into the Epsom salts.
If one is placed in this solution,the cells shrink as they lose water to the more concentrated Epsom.(hypertonic solution)
However, the body homeostatic mechanism through the kidney ensure re-absorption of fluid back to the body from the DCT and CT, via anti diuretic hormone to preserve the cell and the person.
Answer:
d. Ribosome
f. Cell wall
Explanation:
In humans 80s type of ribosome is present and in bacteria 70s type of ribosome is present. Human cells do not have cell wall while bacterial cells have peptidoglycan cell wall. These differences can be targeted by the potential antibacterial agents.
For example, tetracycline antibiotic inhibits the binding of important molecules to bacterial ribosome which ultimately inhibits the protein synthesis in bacteria. Vancomycin antibiotic on other hand inhibits the cell wall formation in bacteria by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis.
Answer:
According to a recent report it was found that 48.7% of residents in Franklin county Ohio are registered to vote. Which of the following is more likely.
We have no basis for predicting which is more likely to have an proportion less than 45%
Explanation:
Since the actual population is unknown it is difficult to ascertain the proportion that will vote even though we have a raw data of those eligible to vote which might not be up to that during voting.
