Why might a placoderm be more useful index fossil than a cockroach?

Answers

Answer 1
Placoderms are an extinct class of prehistoric fish, whereas cockroaches (order Blattodea) very much exist and thrive today. The placoderms are only known from fossils, and were armoured prehistoric fish which lived from the Silurian Period to the Devonian Period. So we only know about them by their fossils, making their fossils very important. The Placoderms were among the first fish to develop a jaw and pelvic fins - the precursor to hind limbs in tetrapods, and this in itself provides very important information regarding the evolution of fishes and tetrapods, including ourselves.

Which is always true about the distance of a planet from the Sun?

a. The farther from the Sun, the shorter a planet’s revolution.
b. The farther from the Sun, the longer a planet’s revolution.
c. The farther from the Sun, the shorter a planet’s rotation.
d. The farther from the Sun, the longer a planet’s rotation.

Answers

The answer is B. A planet distant from the sun has a longer elliptical path around the sun that one closer to the sun. An analogy is that if you draw a circle with a larger diameter (straight distance from sun as center to the planet) then the bigger the diameter of the circle (elliptical path).

Answers

organism, population, community, ecosystem, biosphere

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-organism→population→community→ecosystem→biosphere

Explanation:

Ecologists have tried to organize the ecosystem into levels which gave rise to the concept of ecological level of organization.

In an ecosystem, the ecological organisation move from simplicity to complexity in which the lowest level is an organism or species. When these similar organisms live together they form a population.  A group of these population form a community of organism which forms an ecosystem in the biosphere.

Thus, the ecological organization will be organism→population→community→ecosystem→biosphere

What type of polymer is made by bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes? A. di-polymers B. multi-polymers C. addition polymers D. subtraction polymers

Answers

Hello! 

The type of polymer that is made by bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes is called addition polymer

Addition polymers are those whose polymerization reaction doesn't produce low molecular mass compounds but the bonding of molecules one after the other. Such a reaction implies that there is a rupture in the bonding between monomers (the building blocks of the polymer) to allow the formation of a chain. 

Bonding an alkene to one or more alkanes or alkenes is an example of an addition polymerization.

A radioactive tracer has a half life of 2 hours. How much of a 2500 g sample will be available after 24 hours?

A) 2.44 g
B) 1.22 g
C) 0.610 g
D) 0.31 g

Answers

hello
the best answer would be c

Final answer:

Using the concept of half-life, we find that after 24 hours, which is 12 half-lives for a substance with a half-life of 2 hours, a 2500 g sample of a radioactive tracer will decay to 0.610 g.

Explanation:

The student is asking about the amount of a radioactive tracer remaining after a certain period, given its half-life. To calculate this, we apply the concept of half-life, which is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. In this case, the half-life is 2 hours.

After 24 hours, which is 12 half-lives (24 hours ÷ 2 hours per half-life), the amount of substance remaining can be calculated as follows:

After 1 half-life (2 hours): 2500 g ÷ 2 = 1250 g

After 2 half-lives (4 hours): 1250 g ÷ 2 = 625 g

...

After 12 half-lives (24 hours): 2500 g ÷ (2^12) = 2500 g ÷ 4096 = 0.610 g

Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is C) 0.610 g.

Women who wish to become pregnant should have sexual intercourse after a surge in: women who wish to become pregnant should have sexual intercourse after a surge in: luteinizing hormone (lh). progesterone. follicle-stimulating hormone (fsh). androgens.

Answers

I believe the answer is luteinizing hormone. Luteinizing hormone also known as lutropin is a hormone produced by the anterior pituitary gland. The hormone is considered a gonadotrophic hormone because of its role in controlling the function of ovaries in females and testes in males which are known as the gonads. In females it controls the length and sequence of the female menstrual cycle, including ovulation, preparation of the uterus for implantation of a fertilized egg, and ovarian production of both estrogen and progesterone.

Final answer:

RNA polymerase initiates transcription by binding to the promoter region on DNA, unwinding it, and then synthesizing a complementary RNA strand. Uracil is incorporated into RNA rather than thymine. This enzyme catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds to extend the RNA strand.

Explanation:

The role of RNA polymerase in the initiation step of transcription is to bind to a specific region on the DNA called the promoter. This action signals the DNA to unwind, allowing RNA polymerase to read the template DNA strand and synthesize a complementary strand of RNA. Transcription begins with RNA polymerase establishing the initiation site without the need for a primer, which is different from DNA replication. Unlike DNA nucleotides, which use thymine, RNA includes uracil nucleotides (U) in place of thymine (T). Once RNA polymerase has bound to the DNA at the promoter, it then catalyzes the joining of ribonucleotides, which form the backbone of the RNA strand, by creating phosphodiester bonds, elongating the transcript as it goes.

When stimulated by the binding of specific chemicals, the membranes of taste bud receptors and olfactory neurons?

Answers

The answer is depolarization. Depolarization is the influx of cations, especially sodium ions, from the extracellular fluid into the neuron cell hence generation an electrical impulse along a neuron. The resting potential of neurons is -70mV. When depolarized, the electronegativity in the inside of the neuron cell reduces.
Taste bud receptors if not stimulated are normally polarized. With the presence of the food, chemicals from the food bind with the cell protein which depolarized the cell membrane receptor. Depolarization will lead into the propagation of electric impulse. This will lead into the creation of sensory impulse. The larger number of the chemicals in the food will lead into a stronger impulse.

which families of metals are not so reactive, which allows them to exist by themselves in nature?

Answers

Precious metals (silver (Ag), gold (Au)) and platinum metals (ruthenium (Ru), rhodium (Rh), palladium (Pd), osmium (Os), iridium (Ir), platinum (Pt)) are extremely nonreactive, they are very stable and can be found in nature in elementary form. Poor reactivity of these metals originates from the fact that their atoms are significantly smaller than the alkali metal atoms, so their valence electrons are much closer to the atomic nucleus and are more firmly attached to it. That is why they have higher values of the ionization energy than alkali metals.

Answers

1) The answer is C. Weddell and Crab eater seal usually form breeding groups or colonies when breeding. The Leopard and Ross seals are solitary when breeding. Antarctic and elephant seals on the other hand breed in dense groups on beaches when breeding.

2) The answer is C. Sea ice is frozen water that forms, grows and melts in the ocean.It occurs both in the arctic and antarctic. The sea ice grows during the winter months and melts during the summer months making it a seasonal ice. Areas with sea ice do not absorb much light because sunlight that strike it are reflected back into space.

3) The answer is C. Heat capacity. When the sun heats the surface evaporation of water occurs. The water vapour is lifted into the atmosphere using heat currents. The water vapour  combines with dust particles to form clouds which later rain.

4) The answer is C. The cold water is denser and thus is moves to the bottom(downwelling). Water that is rich in nutrients then moves up to the surface to replace the cold water. The increased nutrients trigger the growth of organisms like the algae.

5) What is the difference between El nino and La nina.
El Nino is the warm phase of ENSO while La Nina is the cold phase of ENSO. El Nino usually brings rainfall and warmth to western pacific regions and coldness and dryness to the eastern pacific region while La Nina brings coldness in the eastern pacific regions and heavy rains that cause floods in the western pacific.

6) The answer is C. During the La Nina year the sea surface temperature is greater than normal in the Western pacific. The La Nina is an exaggeration of the usual seasonal cool cycle unlike El Nino which is an exaggeration of the warm cycle. The La Nina year occurs after some El Nino years.

7) Names for hurricane are beneficial over latitude longitude identification because they are easier to remember. They avoid confusion which is more likely when using latitude longitude identification.They also help to spread awareness and are much easier to track.

8)The answer is B. The leopard is the second largest seal that have powerful jaws and long teeth. They use these teeth to kill smaller seals, fish and squid. They also feed on penguins. This is why they do not rely on krill as a major food source.

9) The answer is A. The adelie penguins feed mostly on krill but switch to fish during breeding because fish and squid are more abundant and krill is more scarce. I think this is because during the breeding season birds spend short periods at sea and hence more fish is available.

10) The answer is A. Due to the fact that penguins live in cold environments, they have adopted a few features to keep them warm. These features include fat under their skin,layers of features and staying together in groups. Penguins swim fast in order to launch themselves in the air.

11) The population of penguins have greatly increased due to the hunting of baleen whales. Baleen whales are know to eat krill and fishes. This means when there is a reduction of the baleen whales there will be an increase in the amount of krill and fish. This will result to an increase in the amount of penguins since food availability will increase increasing their chances of survival.

All restriction sites are palindromic. what does this mean?

Answers

I think this means that nucleotide sequences at the restriction sites are the same when read forward or backward. Restriction sites, or restriction recognition sites, are locations on a DNA molecule containing specific (4-8 base pairs in length) sequences of nucleotides, which are recognized by restriction enzymes. Palindromic sequence is a nucleic acid sequence on double-stranded DNA or RNA wherein reading 5' to 3' forward on one strand matches the sequence reading 5' to 3' on the complementary strand with which it forms a double strand.

Restriction sites being palindromic means they read the same in both directions on complementary DNA strands, a feature used by restriction enzymes to cut DNA at specific points for genetic engineering.

All restriction sites being palindromic means that their sequence of bases reads the same in the 5' to 3' direction on one strand of DNA as it does in the 5' to 3' direction on the complementary strand. For example, the restriction enzyme known as Hind III recognizes a specific palindromic sequence which is the same forward on one strand and backward on the complementary strand. This feature is crucial for the function of restriction enzymes, which are tools used by molecular biologists to cut DNA at specific sites. The ability of these enzymes to recognize and cleave palindromic sequences allows for the precise manipulation of DNA during cloning and genetic engineering processes. The palindromic nature ensures that the cut, or cleavage, creates predictable and complementary overhangs, often referred to as 'sticky ends'. These sticky ends can then be used to bind or 'ligate' DNA fragments together in a desired sequence, facilitating DNA recombination.
