Antoine Lavoisier performed his classic twelve-day experiment in 1779 which has become famous in history. First, Lavoisier heate

d pure mercury in a
swan-necked retort over a charcoal furnace for twelve days. A red oxide of mercury was formed on the surface of the mercury in the retort. When no
more red powder was formed, Lavoisier noticed that about one-fifth of the air had been used up and that the remaining gas did not support life or
burning. Lavoisier called this latter gas azote (Greek 'a' and 'zoe' - without life). He removed the red oxide of mercury carefully and heated it in a
similar retort. He obtained exactly the same volume of gas as disappeared in the last experiment
Lavoisier's experiments use the scientific, method of finding out the nature of an unknown substance by analysis, breaking down, and synthesis, and
then building it up again from its constituents. In his experiments Lavoisier separated air into two constituents: the one which supports life and
combustion, and is one-fifth by volume of air he called oxygen, the other four.fifths which is now called nitrogen. From the two gases he synthesized
something that has the characteristics of air. Lavoisier's experiments gave us the theory of combustion as we have it to this day: that when a substance
burns in air, it combines with oxygen of the air and the product of combustion is heavier than the original substance.

List some general characteristics of producers and list a few examples.
arsen [322]

A producer is like... a green plant or bacterium (plural for bacteria) and it's part of the first level of the food chain. Phototrophs and chemotrophs are two major producers. Phototrophs use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, in other words, photosynthesis. Chemotrophs are almost microscopic- they are found in places where water and light are scarce (or rare) or even not there at all.

Sorry if this isn't any help... I'm trying my best, I don't know much. But if it does help, you're welcome! Have a nice day!

Punnett square are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Pp.

The genotype of one parent is PP. Thus, it will produce only one type of allele, that is, P.

Similarly, the genotype of another parent is pp. Thus, it will produce only one type of gamete, that is, p.

The cross would produce offspring with only one type of genotype, that is, heterozygous Pp.

The phenotype of all the offspring will be purple as it is a dominant trait.

Which type of deposition creates sandbars?<br><br> A glacial<br> B river<br> C wave<br> D wind
Ede4ka [16]

The correct answer is option C, that is, waves.  

Waves take place at shorelines and are inhibited by the rock walls, dunes, plants, sandbags, and raised structures. The deposition of sand mediated by waves produce beaches and sandbars. The waves continuously erode and shape the coastline.  

The tides, winds, storms, and at certain occasions earthquakes results in the formation of waves. The sandbars also known as trough bars, are formed at the point of breaking of the waves.
