    What are the factors that lead to evolutionary change? Using mathematical equations, Hardy & Weinberg in the early 20th century showed that evolutionary change – measured as changes in allele frequencies in a population from one generation to the next – will not occur unless certain kinds of “evolutionary agents” are affecting the population. The Hardy-Weinberg equation can be used to describe the allele frequencies in populations that are not changing evolutionarily – and also can be used to determine if populations are changing over time.…

    a.) The first property of water is its polarity. A water molecule is formed by one oxygen atom covalently bonded to two hydrogen atoms. The electronegativity of the oxygen atom creates an unequal sharing of electrons between the O and H atoms of the molecule. This also gives water the ability to form hydrogen bonds between the slightly negative oxygen atom and the slightly positive hydrogen atom. Water has a high specific heat due to the hydrogen bonds. Because of this, water requires a large amount of energy to raise its temperature by just one degree. The polar nature of water allows the water molecules to attach to one another this is called cohesion. Cohesion gives water its surface tension where the water molecules bind to each other making it difficult for the surface to be broken.…

    Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide, water, and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants, algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen is conveyed to tissues, cells and the oxidation products carbon dioxide and water given off (dictionary.com). Aerobic respiration is a cellular respiration that requires oxygen too and order to help generate energy. The two processes which are photosynthesis and respiration are links plants and animals in different ways. Photosynthesis links the two through air. The reason being is because of the oxygen that is link out is use by the plants and animals to make respiration. The respiration than makes glucose which is used to help energy be reserved for period of darkness and to help and the structure of plants. When glucose comes about that is how sugar gets transferred into the human body.…
