how can the structures identified in the cheek cell be used to distuingish between living and nonliving things

answer: zinc is the substance which has a volume of 1.38 .

density is defined as the mass of an object per unit volume.

it can be calculated by dividing mass of a substance by its volume i.e.

si unit of density is kg per cubic meter and cgs unit of the same is gram per cubic centimeter.

now from the given data volume can be calculated by the formula .

hence, the volume of aluminium will be = which comes out to be 1.703 .

similarly, volume of zinc, chromium, and nickel will be 1.378 , 0.869 , and 0.356 respectively.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
