Answer:
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.
The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions. The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons. The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell. That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons). Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration. That means that it forms anions.

Plants on land and in the ocean convert carbon dioxide to biomass through photosynthesis.
What do you mean by photosynthesis?Plants and other organisms use a process called photosynthesis to transform light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to power the organism's activities through cellular respiration.
A chemical reaction that occurs when sunlight is applied to algae, plants, and some bacteria. During photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide join to frame carbs (sugars) and radiate oxygen.
In plants and green growth, which grew a lot later, photosynthesis happens in a specific intracellular organelle — the chloroplast. During daylight, chloroplasts perform photosynthesis.

Do you know the different stages through which raw agricultural materials go before they reach your table? Trace the journey of a burger bun from grains of wheat at a farm to your table. Perform online or offline research and write a report on the processes involved in manufacturing burger buns.
PLATO ANSWER
The basic raw material for making a burger bun is flour. The major steps required for turning wheat into a burger bun are as follows:
Cultivation of wheat
Harvesting of wheat
Grinding wheat to flour
Baking flour to make buns
Let’s trace the journey.
Before a burger bun reaches the table, it goes through several processes. The farmer select wheat heads when they turn golden yellow and the kernels are hard and dry. A combine harvests the wheat and packs it in sacks. The farmer then stores the wheat in a granary and eventually sells it to a wholesale trading company. The wholesaler transports the wheat to a warehouse and then sells it to a flour manufacturer. The manufacturer`s first step is to cleanse the wheat of impurities, such as weeds, seeds, dirt, small stones, and metal pieces, by using a series of giant disks and magnets. The kernels then go through a giant bath, which separates any other heavy particles that remain. It also helps cleanse the grains. Lighter materials such as husks or flakes of stalk will wash away.
After the cleaning process, the wheat goes through rollers that crack the kernel, and then huge machines use various screens to filter the wheat pieces. In the production of white flour, air currents blow the bran away from the rest of the wheat, and then the remaining pieces of wheat go through a variety of rollers that grind it into finer powder. After each grinding, the machines sift the wheat through screens—and there are more than 20 such screens. Each screen filters finer and finer particles. Finally, the manufacturer fortifies the wheat by adding special ingredients such as vitamins and iron. The manufacturer then packs, labels, and stores the ready-to-bake flour for transportation and supply.
The packaged wheat flour reaches the store racks through a variety of distributors and suppliers and by various means of transport. Once on the shelf, it is a matter of time before a consumer purchases it. Some of the packaged products may reach industrial baking organizations.
After bringing home some flour, I unpack it and then mix it with salt, water, yeast, and a few other ingredients. Before rolling it, I have to give the dough some time to rise. The yeast in the dough makes it rise through the action of tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide. I then form the dough into the correct shapes and put in the oven to bake. In the baking process, the gas bubbles exit the dough, leaving the bread soft and fluffy. After baking and cooling, the buns are ready to become parts of mouth-watering burgers.
How might Kangaroo population suddenly increase? How might this affect the ecosystem?
Answer:
The kangaroo population could suddenly increase if the predator of the kangaroo found something else to hunt, or started to go extinct. If this were to happen, then the prey of the kangaroo would most likely go extinct due to the sudden rise in population of the kangaroo. If there were more kangaroo, then there would be less of whatever the kangaroo ate, then the prey of whatever the kangaroo ate would suddenly increase, it goes all the way down the chain.

Which discovery supported the endosymbiotic theory?
The discovery of independent DNA (from the host) in mitochondria and chloroplasts supports the endosymbiotic theory.
The endosymbiotic theory is the theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts, two important organelles found in eukaryotic cells, originated from bacteria that were engulfed by larger cells.
What is this theory?The presence of DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, which is separate from the DNA in the nucleus of the cell. This suggests that they were once independent organisms.
The similarity of mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA to bacterial DNA. The DNA in mitochondria and chloroplasts is similar to the DNA of bacteria. This suggests that they share a common ancestor.
The presence of ribosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have ribosomes, which are structures that are used to make proteins. Ribosomes are also found in bacteria.

Acid rain contains chemicals that can break rocks. Which describes this interaction?
A) hydrosphere and geosphere
B) geosphere and biosphere
C) biosphere and atmosphere
D) atmosphere and hydrosphere
E) hydrosphere and biosphere
The correct answer is A) Hydrosphere and geosphere
Explanation:
Planet Earth comprises different systems or spheres. Moreover, these systems often overlap or interact. This occurs in the case of acid rain that breaks rocks. Acid rain as well as other forms of water such as snow, hail, liquid water in rivers, etc. belongs to the hydrosphere, which includes all water (H2O) on Earth. On the other hand, the rocks belong to the geosphere, which comprises all the surface and materials in it such as rocks or minerals. This implies in this context the rocks from the geosphere interact with the rain of the hydrosphere.

Microcystis aeruginosis is a freshwater photosynthetic cyanobacterium. When temperatures increase and nutrients are readily available in its pond habitat, M. aeruginosis undergoes rapid cell division and forms an extremely large, visible mass of cells called an algal bloom. M. aeruginosis has a short life span and is decomposed by aerobic bacteria and fungi. Identify the metabolic pathway and the organism that is primarily responsible for the change in oxygen level in the pond between times I and II AND between times III and IV.
Complete question:
You will find the figure with cyanobacteria, decomposers, and oxygen concentration curves in the attached files.
Answer:
- between times I - II: cyanobacteria produce oxygen through the procees of photosynthesis.
- between times II - III and III - IV: decomposers consume oxygen through the process of respiration.
Explanation:
Cyanobacteria, also known as green-blue algae, inhabits the euphotic stratum, producing oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. Probably they produce among 20 - 30% of the global photosynthetic activity. When they die, they sink to deeper water strata.
At the time I, the cyanobacteria population experiences a fast growth, which can be seen through the positive sharp increase of the curve slope. The curve reaches a maximum point just before time II, where it begins to decrease. Cyanobacteria reproduce, and the population grows in size. The more cells there are, the more photosynthetic activity, and the higher amount of oxygen is produced. Following cyanobacteria growth, there is an increase in oxygen concentration, which is reflected by the sharp increase in the curve slope. Both curves are very similar, but they are separated on time, meaning that first cyanobacteria need to reproduce and photosynthesize to posteriorly observe a proportional increase in oxygen concentrations.
Just before time II, the cyanobacteria population stops growing, and at time II begins a sharp decrease in size, reflected in the curve slope. Living cells still produce oxygen, but as there are fewer cells, oxygen concentration also decreases. Cyanobacteria are decomposed by aerobic bacteria and fungi. These last organisms consume oxygen through the process of respiration. As cyanobacteria die and are decomposed, aerobic cells can reproduce at higher rates, increasing their population size. This also can be seen reflected in the decomposers curve, which is stable until time II where it shows a sharp positive increase in its slope. As decomposers' population increases, they consume more oxygen, which concentration decreases inversely proportional to the decomposers' increase. This can be seen in the curves: from time II to time III, the aerobic organisms curve increases and the oxygen curve decreases, so as the cyanobacteria curve.
Just before time III cyanobacteria population stabilizes and during time IV keeps equal. Oxygen concentration keeps following, from time II to IV. When cyanobacteria stabilize, before time III, decomposers population starts to decrease, but they still consume oxygen.

Negative pressure rooms are sometimes referred to as source isolation rooms, while positive pressure rooms are sometime called protective isolation rooms. Explain the thinking behind these names.
Answer:
Negative pressure rooms are sometimes referred to as source isolation rooms because they prevent potentially contaminated air to exit the room.
Positive pressure rooms are also known as protective isolation rooms because they prevent the entering of any pathogen in the air to the room where a patient with a compromised immune system is staying.
Explanation:
Negative pressure rooms or source isolation rooms have lower pressure than the outside. Due to this pressure difference, air can enter the place but can not leave it, trapping the pathogens. Patients with infectious conditions are in these rooms to prevent the spreading of the disease. That is why they are also called source isolation rooms. These rooms have a system that filtrates and circulates the air.
On the other hand, in positive pressure rooms, the air pressure is higher. As a result, the air, with any potential bacteria, virus, or particles, leaves the room to keep the patient safe. They are also known as protective isolation rooms because patients with a compromised immune system are there to protect them from any pathogens in the air.
