<span>The correct answer is expansions. What happens is that rain falls down and the water fills the cracks of rocks. When it freezes, it expands and this breaks the rock. When it melts, the hole is bigger and the next time rain falls, there's more of it, and it freezes again, and so on and so forth until the rock breaks down completely. This is how caves in the ground and cliffs are made.</span>

Masja [62]

When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.

We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.

Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.

They evolved  survive that antibiotic.

Define groundwater, and list some anthropogenic (human) sources of groundwater pollution. Why do many scientists consider ground
joja [24]

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.

Percent error is a statistical tool used for evaluating precision. It is expressed as:

Percent error = | (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value | x 100%

Experimental value represents the calculated value while the theoretical value represents the known value. A percent error value which is approaching zero means that your experimental value is close to the known value. Which can possibly mean that you have precise measurements. Calculations are as follows:

Percent Error = | (2.54 - 2.70) / 2.70 | x 100 =5.93%

Thus, the answer is b. 5.93%.

Which statement correctly describes the nuclear envelope of a eukaryotic cell? See Concept 6.3 (Page 102) View Available Hint(s)
netineya [11]

The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum

The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).
