The graph shows how much it costs to feed enough dairy cattle to produce 100 pounds of milk in two different places which statement best explains the data
Answer:
A. New Zealand farmers have access to larger areas of pastureland.
Explanation:
What would best explain the difference in costs?
Let's examine each proposed answer and see if it makes sense:
A. New Zealand farmers have access to larger areas of pastureland.
Yes, makes sense. It's true that NZ farmers have access to more pastureland than those in California, since the population density is less in NZ than in California, and its more humid. That has as consequence that they need to purchase less grain for their cows.
B. Milk in California is more concentrated than milk in New Zealand.
Nope, even if California is dryer, the milk doesn't come out as dry milk.
C. Cows in New Zealand are more efficient at producing milk.
They might be a more efficient species of cows.... but that wouldn't explain such a large gap in costs.
D. New Zealand farmers feed their cattle more expensive grain.
If it was true, their costs would be higher than those in California... it's the opposite.

Thermal vents are found at the bottom of the ocean in the benthic zone.
Please select the best answer from the choices provided
T
F
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The thermal vents, or hydrothermal vents are basically fissures on the seafloor from which issues water that has been geothermally heated. The thermal vents appear at places where there's intense geological activity, such as the divergent zones, or the hotspots, where there's lot of hot magma rising up, managing to heat up the crust around it, and with the water in that crust as well, propelling it upward under high pressure. This occurs in the benthic zone. This zone of the bodies of water is the lowest, bottom part of the body water, starting from its coastline through the deepest parts, and ending at other coastline, practically covering the deepest layer at all points of the body of water.

An acid is a(n) _____.
a molecule of other entity that can donate a proton or accept an electron pair in reactions.
Answer:
many scientists have given may definition of an Acid
Bronsted-Lowry theory stated that an acid are the donor of proton and bases are acceptors of a proton.
According to Lewis Acid theory: An Acid is one which can accept an electron to form a covalent bond.
According to Arrhenius Acid: Acid is one in which H⁺ concentration is more than OH⁻
Chargaff discovered that in DNA extracted from organisms, the amounts of guanine and cytosine are roughly the same, and the amounts of adenine and thymine are roughly the same. Why was this discovery important?
It acted as a catalyst towards the discovery of the double helix structure of DNA by Watson & Crick. It showed that G pairs C while A pairs with T as a rule. He also noticed that the percentages of G-C and A-T pairs differed between species hence this corroborated the understanding that DNA, rather than proteins, is the genetic material in cells.
Erwin Chargaff's discovery was immensely important because it led to the formulation of Chargaff's rules.
These rules state that in any given DNA sample, the amount of adenine (A) is equal to the amount of thymine (T), and the amount of cytosine (C) is equal to the amount of guanine (G).
The significance of these findings lies in the fact that they provided a critical clue for the double-helix structure of DNA, which was later proposed by James Watson and Francis Crick.
Here is a step-by-step explanation of why Chargaff's discovery was important:
Discovery of Equal Quantities: Chargaff found that the quantities of A and T, and G and C, were always equal in the DNA of different organisms. This was a significant observation because it indicated a specific pairing mechanism.Formation of Complementary Base Pairing: The equal quantities led to the hypothesis that A pairs with T, and G pairs with C. This complementary base pairing is a cornerstone of the DNA structure.Foundation for the Double-Helix Model: These findings directly supported Watson and Crick's development of the double-helix model of DNA, illustrating how the bases pair to maintain the consistent helical structure.Consistency Across Species: Chargaff's rules also highlighted that while the overall ratios of A+T to G+C can vary across species, the equality of A with T and G with C is maintained, suggesting a universal structural principle in DNA.9. How might an intense solar storm affect people on Earth?
The most powerful solar storms send coronal mass ejections (CMEs), containing charged particles, into space. If Earth happens to be in the path of a CME, the charged particles can slam into our atmosphere, disrupt satellites in orbit and even cause them to fail, and bathe high-flying airplanes with radiation.

Can you Mark me as the Brainliest??
1. A lizard is cold blooded. This means that it rely on its surroundings to regulate it's body temp. Normally if a lizard needs warmth they rely on the sun, but in the cold months in many places the heat from the sun isn't enough to be a counter effect of the cold/wind. Sometimes the sun isn't even out at all. Because of this it will A. Retreat to an underground burrow to keep warm
2. Endotherm animal is another name for warm-blooded (mammals are a great example of endotherm animals). If you think of your self, a human (at least I hope you are...) then you don't have to worry about the external temperature regulating your internal temp. You don't have to stay in the sun to keep warm or live underground (D. is just ridiculous that it should be obvious that it isn't the answer, so I'm not even going to talk about it). Your body, and all other endotherm animals generate their own body heat, therefore the answer is C.

Your family is driving across the country to the Grand Canyon. What type of pollution is your car producing?
A. Agriculture source
B. Mobile source
C. Stationary source
D. Natural source
Answer:
The correct answer would be Option B, Mobile Source.
Explanation:
Your family is driving across the country to the Grand Canyon, Air Pollution or Mobile Pollution is produced by your car.
Air pollution is the pollution generated by the Gas emission, Chemical emission, Car Emission, Dust, etc. This pollution consists of solid particles and gases. Air Pollution is very dangerous as it directly affects the Ozone layer.
As the car is moving, so the car is generating the Air pollution, which is considered a mobile source, because car is travelling from one place to another and emitting air pollution where ever it is going.

For this assignment, you will demonstrate what you have learned about the properties of water by designing and
conducting an experiment that examines one of water's properties. First review this example of an experiment
designed to investigate waters specific heat.
Design and conduct an experiment to investigate water's surface tension.
To investigate water's surface tension, you can design an experiment that involves observing how water behaves with different substances placed on its surface. Start by filling a small container, such as a shallow dish or a petri dish, with water.
Then, carefully place various small objects, such as paperclips, coins, or small pieces of paper, on the surface of the water one at a time and observe what happens. Measure the number of objects that the water's surface can support before they sink. Repeat the experiment with different liquids, such as oil or rubbing alcohol, to compare their surface tension properties with that of water.
The surface tension of water is a result of the cohesive forces between water molecules, which causes them to attract and hold together at the surface. This experiment allows you to observe how surface tension affects the ability of water to support objects on its surface and compare it to other liquids. By understanding surface tension, you gain insight into one of the unique properties of water that plays a crucial role in various natural phenomena, such as the behavior of water striders on the surface of ponds or the formation of droplets on leaves.

How do organisms typically come to live on newly formed volcanic islands?
A.They appear there randomly due to abiogenesis in order to fill the empty niches present
B. Seeds or animals get blown over in storms or pushed over through the ocean tides
C.They evolve from volcanic archea and bacteria on the island over millions of years
D.They travel there to get the beneficial and nutrient rich volcanic soil
What is one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
A.
There is a high mutation rate.
B.
There is no genetic drift.
C.
There is a large amount of gene flow.
D.
There is nonrandom mating.
Answer:
B. There is no genetic drift.
Explanation:
For a population to be in genetic balance it is necessary that, in this population, no genetic drift occurs. This can be explained through the Hardy-Weinberg balance.
According to the Hardy-Weinberg balance, for a population to reach genetic equilibrium, it is necessary that mutations do not occur in this population, natural selection does not occur, does not occur, does not occur gene flow, occurs random crosses and no genetic drift occurs.
Genetic drift is a term used to describe a suture that causes a strong change in the genotype of a population, resulting in a low genetic variability among individuals that will have to undergo selection pressure.

Data Analysis
Aquatic Organism pH Range for Life
Clam 4.5 - 5.0
Snail 5.0 - 9.0
Bass 5.5 - 9.0
Crayfish 5.5 - 8.5
Mayfly 5.5 - 9.0
Salamander 6.0 - 8.0
Trout 6.0 - 8.5
Perch 6.5 - 8.5
Frog 7.0 - 9.5
The EPA has recommended water quality criteria that include the pH in both freshwater and salt water. The recommended pH range for freshwater is 6.5 to 9.0, and for salt water it is 6.6 to 8.5. In the eastern United States, 75% of the lakes have a pH in the acidic range, from 6.5 to 4.2.
Based on this new information, what species are most likely to survive in eastern U.S. lakes, if the pH drops and remains at 4.2?
A) frogs
B) clams and snails
C) none of the species would survive
D) frogs, perch, trout, salamanders
Answer:
C) none of the species would survive
Explanation:
clam only goes down to a pH of 4.5
Answer:
The correct answer is C) none of the species would survive
Explanation:
According to the given data, the minimum pH range in which an organism can survive is 4.5-5.0 and that is for clam and that maximum range an organism can live is between 7.0-9.5 which is for frog.
Therefore according to data, no organism can live below pH 4.5 and above pH 9.5 or organism can only live between pH 4.5-9.5. So if the pH eastern U.S. lake drops to 4.2 than even clam will not able to survive in that lake.
This means the pH of the lake is too acidic for the survival of any species, therefore, the correct answer is C) None of the species would survive.
A key difference between green algae and land-based plants is that
Answer:
alge can be unicellular or multi-cellular
land based plants are multi-cellular
Explanation:
Answer:
Algae are a unicellular body found in water while land plants are the multicellular body.
Explanation:
Algae are aquatic organisms with the unicellular body that have the ability to perform photosynthesis. They are not differentiated in leaves, stems, and roots. They found generally underwater.
Land plants are multicellular differentiated into stem, leaves, and roots and connective tissue also found in them.
Thus, the key difference in algae and land plants is that the algae are unicellular while land plants are multicellular.

Explanation:
The lock-and-key mechanism refers to
the complementary shapes of an enzyme and a substrate.
the attractive forces between an enzyme and a substrate.
the ability of an enzyme to lower the activation energy of a reaction.
the ability of an enzyme to “unlock” the products of a reaction
Answer:
Option (1).
Explanation:
Enzymes are the bio catalyst that increases the rate of biochemical reactions of the body. Enzymes are highly specific in nature and works at optimum temperature and pH conditions.
The enzymes work according to the lock and key mechanism. This mechanism explains that the active of enzyme should fit into the substrate in such a way as the key fits into its lock. Hence, this determines the complementary shapes of the substrate and enzyme.
Thus, the correct answer is option (1).

1. Adaptive radiation
The adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process in which rapid diversification occurs from a single ancestral species. The reasons for such rapid diversification, thus development of new physical traits, can occur from multiple reasons, such as sudden climate change, change in the food sources, or extinction of other species. Most often it is a response where there are numerous niches in the food chain opened up and free for taking, so the organisms develop new traits quickly in order to take over those niches.
2. It is dated from about 605-600 million years ago
The first multi-cellular organisms have appeared around 600 million years ago, at least from what is known so far from the fossils and the evidence of activities left from the organisms. They were very simple organisms, and the closest we can compare to in the present are the bacteria. In order for these multi-cellular organisms to develop, around 2.9 billion years where needed, as the first single-cellular organisms appeared around 3.5 billion years ago.

A planet has an average distance to the sun of 3.36 AU. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the the orbital period of the planet and calculate it.
Answer:
You can check this calculation by setting the masses to 1 Sun and 1 Earth, and the distance to 1 astronomical unit (AU), which is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. You will see an orbital period close to the familiar 1 year.
Explanation:
Answer:
The orbital period of the planet is 6.16 years.
Explanation:
A planet has an average distance to the sun of 3.36 AU i.e. a = 3.36 AU
[tex]1\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
or [tex]3.36\ AU=3.36\times 1.496\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
i.e. average distance, [tex]a=5.02\times 10^{11}\ m[/tex]
If we want to calculate the orbital period of the planet, it can be calculated using Kepler's third law as :
[tex]T^2\propto a^3[/tex]
[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3[/tex]
Where
M = mass of sun
G = universal gravitational constant
[tex]T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.98\times 10^{30}}\times (5.02\times 10^{11})^3[/tex]
[tex]T=\sqrt{(3.78\times 10^{16})}[/tex]
T = 194422220.952 seconds
Since, [tex]1\ Year=3.2\times 10^7\ seconds[/tex]
So, T = 194422220.952 seconds = 6.16 years
Hence, the orbital period of the planet is 6.16 years.
