A student is investigating the affect of different salts on melting points. Four patches of ice of equal size are roped off and

a different
type of salt is poured on each one receives table salt (NaCl), one receives Calcium Chloride (CaCl2), one receives Potassium
Carbonate (KCO3) and the fourth receives Inert sand instead. Each patch receives an equal amount of salt or sand. The student
measures the volume of ice remaining and subtracts it from the original volume of ice to see how much melted away. What is the
dependent variable?
•
A. The type of salt applied to the ice.
B. The amount of lee that melted.
C. The ice that received sand.
D. The size of the Ice patches

Answer:

B. The amount of lee that melted.

Explanation:

The dependent variable is more of what results from an action during an experiment. It is actually what is being tested for. In the experiment, the scientist seeks to understand the effect of salts on melting point of ice. He selects the different salts which can cause a ice to melt (independent variables) then he sets up to find out the effect of the salt on the ice.

He cannot control how much ice will melt. The properties of the salts would determine the extent and rate of the dissolution of the ice pack. This is the dependent variable which relies on the nature of the salt.

Answer:

The most likely pathway is ER - Golgi - vesicles that fuse with plasma membrane.

Explanation:

The endomembrane system is an extensive sets of intracellular membrane. These system was first discovered in the late 1800s when scientist Camillo Golgi noticed that a certain stain selectively marked only some internal cellular membranes. Golgi actually thought that these intracellular membranes were interconnected, but advances in microscopy and biochemical studies of the various membrane-encased organelles later made it clear the organelles in the endomembrane system are separate compartments with specific functions.

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

The cell model below shows 2 solutions separated by a selectively permeable membrane indicated by the red dashed line.
e-lub [12.9K]

So naturally, Water loves to be with water. This is just a common knowledge of biology. The side with the least amount of water will recognize that the opposing side has more water. Water molecules in Side A will essentially try and cross the selectively permeable membrane and go onto the crowded side. This will make the Cell in A become lysed and it will shrink. Your answer will be:


C. The Water level will increase on side B and decrease on Side A until concentrations are equalized.

Give an example in the human body of a molecule cotaining ionic bonds
Lemur [1.5K]
<span>An ionic bond is a complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This generally happens between atoms that have opposite electronegativity. This means one has very few atoms in their outer shell, while the other has many. A common example of an ionic bond is that of salt, with Na and Cl. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, in which it transfers to chloride to make an ionic bond.
</span><span>
Ionic bonds are usually found in dry forms such as salts and are found in compounds throughout the human body. Ionic compounds are generally water soluble.</span>
DNA<span> - As you recall, DNA is formed in the shape of a double helix. The double strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Each single strand has a backbone made of sugar and phosphate, as well as either a purine (adenine or guanine) or pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine). Each purine is connected to a pyrimidine through a hydrogen bond, giving the double DNA strand strength, and flexibility. This bond holds the two sides of DNA together, each bond contributing to the overall strength of DNA. When DNA is replicated, special enzymes known as DNA helicase "unzip" DNA and these bonds are broken so the two strands can be individually replicated.</span>
