Joan uses a model to show how wood burns at the level of atoms and molecules. Her model tracks 840 carbon atoms that make up a s

mall fraction of a wood sample. The table shows how the carbon atoms are converted into carbon dioxide as the wood burns over time. Which of the claims about the burning wood is supported by Joan's model?
A. matter is conserved during the burning of wood

B. chemical energy is conserved during the burning of wood

C. burning wood in bossier series of chemical reactions that occur in one direction only

D. burning wood involves a series of chemical reactions that occur in both the forward and reverse directions

E. burning wood involves oxygen as well as carbon

Answer:

The correct option is A. Matter is conserved during the burning of wood

Explanation:

One of the major theories of matter states that the amount of mass at the start of a reaction is equal to the amount of the mass at the end of the reaction.

As in Joan's study, he shows that the amount of carbon atoms remain 840 during each of the combustion reactions. The number of carbon atoms in wood at the start of the reaction was equal to the number of carbon atoms in carbon dioxide at the end of the reaction. Hence, Joan's model supports the theory that matter is conserved during the burning of the wood.

Describe your DNA model. Which part do the straws represent? The pushpins? The paper clips and the black dots you made with the
Fynjy0 [20]
<h2>Answer 1 with Explanation</h2>

The DNA model represents the genetic code that defines all the characteristics of a living thing and it is made up molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains and represents a phosphate group, a nitrogen base, and a sugar group. Two long strands are formed by Nucleotides attached together to create a structure called double helix which looks like a ladder, the sides would be made up of sugar and phosphate molecules while the rungs would be the base. The straws represent the sugar-phosphate backbone which forms the structural framework of nucleic acids. It is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups.  

<h2>Answer 2 with Explanation</h2>

The push pins re-presence nitrogen-containing base is an essential molecule with a nitrogen atom having the chemical features of a field. The principal biological purpose of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids collectively. A pushpin owes its essential characteristics to a solitary couple of electrons of a nitrogen atom. It is assigned as the derivatives pair of parent compounds.

<h2>Answer 3 with Explanation</h2>

The paper clips represent ‘five prime’ and ‘three prime’ which indicate the number of carbons in the DNA’s sugar backbone. These two are the distinctive ends of the nucleic acids. The black dots represent the bonds of sugar and phosphate which make up the nucleotides and show the genetic code. These bonds have strong covalent bonds that keep the bonds attached together firmly.

A test organism develops a genetic mutation that causes neurons to develop without synaptic knobs. How will this impact neuronal
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.

The increase in the concentration of contaminants in the tissues of animals high on the food chain is termed which of the follow
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

(A) Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.

Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.

As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.

As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
