A bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis contains a protein that can kill cotton ballworms and certain other kinds of caterpillars. A different bacterium called Agrobacterium tumefaciens has the ability to insert its genetic material into plants.

Scientists in the late twentieth century took a gene from Bacillus thuringiensis and inserted it into specimens of Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Genetic material from the Agrobacterium tumefaciens specimens was then inserted into cotton plants. The goal of these tests was to reduce caterpillar infestation in the cotton plants.

These tests are an example of
A.
natural selection.
B.
genetic modification.
C.
creating purebred species.
D.
meiotic cell division.

You accidentally spilled an unknown liquid on a lab bench. It spreads out across the lab bench and quickly evaporates. What can you infer about the structure of the molecules? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

See note under explanation

Explanation:

That the particles have mostly non-polar structures or, have a very low degree of electronegativity (i.e. very low or no attractive interactions) so that particle - particle interaction favors the gas phase when not in an equilibrium based environment. That is, a closed container of liquid were liquid phase is in equilibrium with gas phase. However, when not in a closed container; i.e., spilled, particles evaporate rapidly moving into the gas phase from liquid phase.

Hope this helps. :-)

A boulder sits at rest on top of a mountain. What conclusion can be made about the forces acting on the boulder

Answers

Explanation:

Since, the boulder is at rest. This means that there is an equilibrium of forces acting on the boulder.

According to principle of equilibrium of forces a body can be in position of rest only when net force acting on body is zero for translation equilibrium and net moment acting on the body must also be zero for rotational equilibrium.

Therefore, net forces and net moment acting on the boulder is zero.

1. How is energy transported from where it is generated to homes?
2. How is some energy lost as it is transmitted and how can this be minimized?
Plz answer fast its worth 30 points

Answers

Answer:

1. (put in simpler words so no one knows you got it off of brainly)

The electricity that flows to our homes is generated in power stations. From here, it flows through large transmission lines, which carry it to substations. Finally, distribution lines carry electricity from substations to houses, businesses, and schools.

2.  (put in simpler words so no one knows you got it off of brainly)

The transmission over long distances creates power losses. The major part of the energy losses comes from Joule effect in transformers and power lines. The energy is lost as heat in the conductors. This can be minimized by

answer choice 1: reducing technical losses including: replacing incorrectly sized transformers, improving the connection quality of conductors (power lines), and increasing the availability of reactive power by installing capacitor banks along transmission lines.

answer choice 2: (just in case answer choice 1 isn't what you're looking for)

You can reduce losses in your home by spreading out your electricity use evenly throughout the day, instead of running all your appliances at once.

B. substances which are adsorbed differently, and which differ in their solubility in a solvent

c. liquids with differing boiling points

D gas, liquid or solid impurities from a mixture​

Answers

Answer: Fractional distillation is used to separate liquids with differing boiling points

Explanation:

Sublimation is used to separate volatile substance from a non volatile substance where volatile substance gets converted from solid to gas.

Fractional distillation is separation of a liquid mixture into fractions which differ in boiling points by means of distillation by use of a fractionating column.

Chromatography is a separation method where different rates of adsortion of different components is used to separate substances.

Consider the reaction


2 NO2 (g) <=> N2O4

If the equilibrium concentration of both NO2 and N2O4 are 0.2 M, what is the value of Kc?


A. 0.2

B. 0.3

C. 0.225

D. 5.0

E. 2.5

Please help.

Answers

Answer:

D. 5.0

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation at equilibrium

2 NO₂(g) ⇄ N₂O₄(g)

Step 2: Calculate the concentration equilibrium constant

The concentration equilibrium constant (Kc) is equal to the product of the concentrations of the products raised to their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients.

Kc = [N₂O₄]/[NO₂]² = 0.2 / 0.2² = 5
