Amphibians are said to have evolved from the fish called a lungfish.

Every compound can be represented by a chemical formula. a chemical formula is the set of symbols showing the elements that make up a compound and their proportions. water’s chemical formula is h 2 2 o. that means a molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen chemically bonded. a molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together. molecules can range in size from two to thousands of atoms. a molecule of a compound is the smallest unit of that compound. every molecule of water has all the physical and chemical properties of water. that’s because every molecule of water is made of the same elements in the same proportions: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen! which of the following is a true statement? a every molecule of the same compound will have different properties. b every molecule of a compound has the same proportion of elements. c molecules can be physically separated into smaller units of a compound. d molecules cannot be represented by chemical formulae.

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

Which set of characteristics best describes sedimentary rock? a) largest type of rock, made of organic matter, hardest type of rock b) often contains layers, forms near sources of water, contains fossils c) least abundant type of rock, made of other rocks, made mostly of minerals d) most abundant type in earth's crust, made of magma/lava, contains no fossils
