Answer:

C) polarity

Explanation:

The polar nature of water molecules allows it to dissolve like molecules, such molecules are also polar.

  • In water molecules hydrogen bonds provides a special dipole - dipole attraction.
  • Here, the hydrogen atom is directly joined to a highly electronegative atom(oxygen, nitrogen or fluorine).
  • This leads to a charge separation in which the hydrogen atom has net positive charge and the electronegative one has negative charge.
  • This makes the molecule of water polar.
  • By this property water easily attracts oppositely charged portions of another substance and then pull them into solution.

This property of water is polarity of water.

Above 38oC and below 0oC the rate of photosynthesis decreases. Propose a hypothesis to explain why this occurs.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The right answer is A: Enzyme activity decreases at these temperatures

Temperature influences the activity of the enzymes responsible for assisting with chemical reactions in the Calvin cycle. When temperatures are low, enzyme activity is slow. As temperatures increase, the activity of the enzymes that assist in these chemical reactions also increases to a certain extent, which is the optimal response to temperature. It is at this point that the rate of photosynthesis of plants is the highest.

As the temperature continues to rise beyond this point, the enzyme activity decreases until photosynthesis stops. It is important to remember that the rate of photosynthesis in C3 plants is higher in cold conditions, whereas it is the opposite in C4 plants.

When you stub your toe, you first feel a quick, sharp pain transmitted by _______, and then a moment later, a dull, throbbing pa
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer: The correct answer to the question is option A

A-delta fibers; C fibers

When you stub your toe, you first feel a quick, sharp pain transmitted by A-DELTA FIBERS, and then a moment later, a dull, throbbing pain transmitted by C FIBERS

A-delta fibers are sensory nerve fibers that stimulate pain receptors,they transmit sensory information while C fibers are class if fibers found in the somatic sensory system,they are afferent fibers that conveys input signals from the periphery to the central nervous system.

Explanation: When one stubs the toe,the second-fastest nerve fibers carry messages not from the touch receptors, but the pain receptors; that explains the sharp pain a split second after the thud. They cause what's called second pain, the throbbing pain you feel a few seconds after you stub your toe.

When the toe is stubbed,the impact is felt first before the pain, you're slamming it with a force that is equal to 2-3 times your body weight. (that's about the same force as a karate punch) since the toe has a tiny surface area, that force can't spread out. So the pain stays concentrated at the point of impact before pain is felt,this happens as a result of nerve fibers processing the painful stimuli which brings about that feelings/sensation of pain,and it reverts back after the painful stimulus has been removed.

Stubbing of the tie brings about throbbing toe pain, swelling and bruising.
