Generally, the quantity of a solute that can be dissolved in a solvent increases with temperature

The reason why Emma cannot get all the sugar to dissolve in the ice tea is as follows;

The liquid in the iced tea, which is the solvent has reached its solubility limit, it is saturated and therefore can not dissolve any more sugar at the given temperature

Solubility limit and saturation point clarification:

The saturation point or solubility limit is the point at which the sugar in the

solution has the same chemical potential as is present in pure sugar

In order to dissolve more sugar, the temperature of the solution needs to

be raised to increase the kinetic energy of the solvent and sugar molecules

such that the bonds holding the sugar molecules can disintegrate and

more sugar is then dissolved making the iced tea sweeter

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.

Yanka [14]

Growth Hormone and insulin are protein hormones that promotes the growth and regulation of substrate metabolism.

Explanation:

The Growth Hormone performs the metabolic actions in various tissues like liver, muscle, and pancreas through insulin growth factor. Insulin slows down the growth hormone signalling through the growth hormone receptor. It is important for maintaining the responsiveness of liver to growth hormone.

The insulin signalling pathway is very important in metabolic diseases like diabetes and aging. These insulin activates a phosphorylation cascade that branches to form a network affecting multiple biological processes.

In his study of pea plants, Gregor Mendel used which method to produce offspring?

dalvyx [7]

The answer is cross-pollination, by using parents that had different traits.

Gregor Mendel researched pea plants and he established the principles of heredity. To explain his experiments and discoveries, he invented terms dominant and recessive in reference to traits. In his experiments, he used cross pollination which includes the crossing of parents with different traits. For example, he crossed a plant with green peas and a plant with yellow peas (two different traits) and studied how these traits are inherited to the next generation.
