A student wins a trophy. It is a metal cup on a black plastic base. The student cleans the trophy. She holds one of the metal ha

ndles and rubs the rest of the trophy with a dry cloth. Why the plastic base does becomes negatively charged? B) The metal cup does not become charged when she rubs the trophy. Suggest why the cup does not become charged.

Answer:

  In this given statement , the plastic base becomes negatively charged because  plastic is an insulator . And the metal cup does not become charged because  metal is a conductor.                              

Explanation:

<u>Reason behind , why plastic base becomes negatively charged -:</u> When a plastic base is rubbed with a dry cloth in the metal trophy, electrons are shifted from one material to the other. Thus, the substance that gains electrons (which is the plastic base) becomes negatively charged. thus , the plastic is an insulator , which causes charge (negative ) by rubbing.

<u>Reason behind , why the metal cup does not become charged -:</u>  The metal cup is a conductor, and the surplus charge on the metal flows to the person who charges the cup and to the ground so that it is not charged. Thus, rubbing a metal can trigger hand\finger injury because metals generate excess heat in rubbing .

The most likely answer is
D)Decreased number of fish species who use the estuaries. 

The Japanese model for shrimp farming in estuaries basically involves converting estuary areas into shrimp farms, isolating these areas and dedicating them solely to the farming of shrimp. This excludes other fish species from areas that were previously the environment in which they lived.

Amylase is an enzyme that converts carbohydrate polymers into monomers. Glycogen synthase is one of the enzymes involved in conv
ollegr [7]

Answer:

This question is incomplete; the complete part is:

Which of the following best explains the reactions of these enzymes?

A) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

B) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds.

C) Amylase aids in the addition of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the removal of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

D) Amylase aids in the removal of a water molecule to form covalent bonds whereas glycogen synthase aids in the addition of a water molecule to break covalent bonds.

The answer is A

Explanation:

In nature, MONOMERS are simpler units that come together to form larger units called POLYMERS. According to this question, Amylase converts carbohydrate polymers to monomers while Glycogen synthase converts carbohydrate monomers to polymers.

Monomers of carbohydrate are joined together by adding water molecule to form covalent bonds between the monomer units, hence, forming a POLYMER. This is how Glycogen synthase catalyzes its reaction of forming carbohydrate polymer (glycogen).

On the other hand, Amylase breaks down large polymer molecules into monomers by removing water molecules in a process called HYDROLYSIS. This breaks the covalent bond that holds the monomeric units together.

If i wanted to look at a onion cell what type of microscope would be best to use
poizon [28]
It is best to use regular light microscopes to observe that.

For simple structures, onion cells doesn't require a very large magnification. Magnifications for such as 100X or 150X is already enough to determine the different structures of onion cells such as cell walls or cytoplasm.

It is not very suitable to use a electron microscope especially as high school or college students, as electronic microscopes can be really expensive, usually only top universities have them. Also, it is quite complicated to control the microscope comparing to the common light microscope that we can easily find in many school laboratories. They're easy to function and they're a lot cheaper.

So, it's best advised to use a light microscope, unless if you're really into studying very detailed structures and you're experienced in doing these sorts of things, then you should use a electron microscope.

PNS axons are vulnerable to cuts, crushing injuries, and other types of trauma. However, a damaged ____________ can regenerate i
Olenka [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is - damaged, effector organ, neurilemma, damage, distance, cell body, decreased.

Explanation:

PNS axons are prone to cuts, and other types of injuries. A damaged axon can regenerate if the effector organ remains intact and a critical amount of neurilemma is found.

The degree of success of these axons regeneration depends upon factors that are (1) the amount of damage, and (2) the distance between the site of the damaged axon and the cell body it innervates The possibility of repair is reduced with an increase in either of these two factors. Neurolemmocytes play an active role in regeneration
