Answer:

Volume= 4 cm³

Density= 2 g/cm³

Explanation:

We have the following data:

volume= V= 8 cm³

mass= m= 16 g

The density is the mass per volume of a substance, so the density of the rock is:

density= d= 16 g/8 cm³= 2 g/cm³

When we cut the rock in half, we have a half volume and a half mass:

V= 8 cm³/2= 4 cm³

m= 16 g/2= 8 g

But the density is not altered because it is an intrisic property - it does not change with the amount of subtance. Thus, the density of a half rock is:

d = m/V= 8 g/4 cm³= 2 g/cm³

You just read an article on the Endosymbiotic Theory. Based on what you read, what is the importance of the Endosymbiotic Theory
Fantom [35]
The endosymbiotic theory which is also sometimes referred to as symbiogenesis states that all the organelles of the eukaryotic cells are prokaryotic cells that tends to live in a much larger host. This theory is important because it does explains how the eukaryotic cells are able to obtain the needed nourishment that is believed to be replenished by the prokaryotic cells.

On the Bahamian island of Andros, mosquitofish populations live in various, now-isolated, freshwater ponds that were once united
makkiz [27]

Answer:

sexual selection

natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism (changes the allele frequency) by favouring traits that are advantageous among others because they increase the survival and reproduction. In the example above, mosquitofish that live in the predator-rich ponds devoloped a trait that help them survive (swimming in short, fast bursts). This adaptation to environment is favourable by natural selection.

Sexual selection refers to the female mosquitofish and the fact that they choose their males (with better reproductive success).

Identify which property of water cohesion, adhesion, or heat capacity applies to each observation below.
olga nikolaevna [1]

4. Large, circular lily pads are able to float on the water's surface.

Answer: cohesion

Cohesion mean that water attracted to another water. This force will make the water to form a surface tension in the lake. Water lily has a wide and thin leaf which makes it giving a low force per area. If the force applied on the surface is not bigger than surface tension, the leaf will stay float above the water. Surface tension also the reason water spider could walk on water.


5. The temperature of the water is about 5°C, while the temperature of the air is about 21°C.

Answer: heat capacity

Water has high heat capacity. High heat capacity mean that the water will not be easily become cold or hot. It will need more energy to increase/decrease the temperature of the water. This is why the water could keep its temperature much lower than the atmosphere. This will protect the organism inside the water from an extreme temperature change.
