Answer:

The correct option is D. 18 year old male

Explanation:

The epiphyseal plate can be described as a disc of cartilage that is required for the growth of bones. The epiphyseal plates get fused in females at a very early age, most probably between the ages of 13 to 15. In males, the epiphyseal plates fuse a litter later at about 15 to 18 years.

Hence, the presence of epiphyseal plates in the femur would prove that it was present in an 18-year-old male.

All the other options would be false because they won't contain an epiphyseal plate.

Which of the following descriptions explains the process of water freezing?
Olenka [21]

Answer: B. Water molecules slow down until they begin to bond together.

Explanation: When water is cooled, energy is removed from the system, and the molecules begin to slow down. When the  molecules have slowed suciently, their collisions are no longer energetic enough to overcome their electrostatic attraction, and  they begin to bond together. The other answer choices are inaccurate. Since ice is less dense than water, high pressure  compresses the ice and actually causes it to melt. (Compression has no effect on water volume.) Cooling has no effect on the  shape of individual water molecules.

Calculate the volume of 1 M NaOH needed to prepare 12.0 mL of a 0.10-M solution. Prepare this solution. (Refer to the Dilutions
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

<em>This is a problem of simple dilution. The dilution principle simply agrees that the number of moles before dilution must be equal to the number of moles after dilution.</em>

Recall that: number of moles = mass/molar mass or molarity x volume.

Hence, for the dilution principle:

              initial molarity x initial volume = final molarity x final volume.

In this case, initial molarity of NaOH = 1 M, initial volume = ?, final molarity = 0.1 M, final volume = 12.0 mL.

Initial volume = final molarity x final volume/initial molarity

                       = 0.1 x 12/1 = 1.2 mL

It thus means that 1.2 mL of 1 M NaOH would be taken and then diluted up to 12.0 mL mark by the addition of distilled water in order to produce 12.0 mL, 0.10 M NaOH solution.

Choose a plant or animal that you think is interesting. describe some of the threats or challenges
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its <em>ability to survive in the desert </em>or<em> periods of drought.</em> Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

  • One of these threats is the <em>"over-collection of cacti." </em>Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
  • Another threat is the number of pests, such as <u>snails</u> and<u> slugs</u>, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for<em> mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.</em>
  • People often misunderstand the <u>cactus' water level need</u>s. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.

What process is responsible for building successive rock layers on Earth?
mixas84 [53]
The correct option is deposition.
Deposition is the process by which sediments, soils and rocks are added to a particular rock which result in successive layers in the rock. Deposition is usually brought about by the action of wind, water, ice and gravity. These forces brings on sediments which are added to the rock layers.
