Answer:
B. 26amu
Explanation:
The nucleus of an atom in an element contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton number equals the electron number in a neutral atom. The proton number is also called the atomic number, denoted by Z.
The mass number also called Atomic mass unit (amu) in this case, of an element is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number in the atom of that element. The mass number is denoted by A.
Hence, A = Z + N
Where A = Mass number
Z = Proton (atomic number)
N = Neutron number
In this question, N is 11 while Z is 15
Hence, the mass number of the element in the question, in AMU, is 15 + 11 = 26amu.
Answer:
1. polarity
2. hydrogen bonding
3. High heat capacity
4. Adhesion
5. polarity
6. surface tension
7. high heat vaporization
8. hydrogen bonds form a rigid and stable network
9. Water is a polar substance and fat is a nonpolar substance.
10. Cohesion
Explanation:
Water is a polar molecule that is held together by hydrogen bonds to form strong cohesive forces. This accounts for the surface tension in water. Surface tension is the force acting on water that it makes to behave like a stretched elastic skin.
The polarity of water accounts for the fact that it is found in several parts of the body where it largely plays the role of a polar solvent.
High heat capacity of water enables it to function well in the area of thermoregulation in the body. High heat vaporization accounts for the fact that water helps maintain extreme temperature changes in an area.
When in solid state, the hydrogen bonded network in water becomes rigid and forms a very stable network of water molecules. Being polar, water does not interact with fat because like dissolves like.
In plants, the attachment of water to plant roots is known as adhesion and is necessary for the capillary movement of nutrients to plants via the root.
Answer:
A. They have the same function
B. They have evolved independently
C. They indicate an evolutionary relationship
Explanation:
- Analogous structures are structures with a different embryonic but have evolved to perform similar function.
- <em><u>Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution which is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages or different embryonic origin.</u></em>
- Examples of analogous structures include; wings in flying animals like bats, birds, and insects, and fins in animals like penguins and fish.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
This is true because Meteorites originate range from 4.5 billion years old to 200 million years old.
Have flat bases and are often described as "puffy", "cotton-like" or "fluffy" in appearance.
Have a nice day!!!
