Answer :
Explanation :

In a chemical reaction, substances (elements or compounds) called reactants are changed into other substances (compounds or elements) called products. Hence, reactants are those which start the chemical reaction.   For example: 1. In the burning of natural gas, methane (CH4) and oxygen (O2) are the reactants in the chemical reaction. are the substances formed by a chemical reaction. In the burning of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the products formed by the reaction.   2. H2+O2 ----> H2O Here H2 & O2 are called Reactants and H2O is called Product.

Answer : 1. "Capillary action phenomenon"
Explanation :

Answer: A) Capillary action phenomenon Explanation: Blotting paper absorbs ink by the process of capillary action. The capillary action is based on the property of surface tension of liquid.   All unsized paper will absorb water. Blotting paper is not sized and made bulkier to provide capillary action for faster absorption of liquid.   Blotting paper has also been sold as a cosmetic to aid in the removal of skin oils and makeup.

Answer : 2. "2x^2"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 2x^2 Explanation: In an algebraic expression, like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same powers. Calculating x-squared plus x-squared is a matter of combining like terms.  Now x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2   Hence, x-squared plus x-squared is equal to 2 times x squared.

Answer : 3. "By creating a repetitive pattern"
Explanation :

Answer: C) By creating a repetitive pattern Explanation: The Three Rhetorical Appeals is an argument made by Aristotle in which he states that there are three elements to the art of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.   Ethos is the ethical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience of the author's credibility/character. Pathos is the emotional appeal, which intends to persuade the audience by appealing to their emotions. Logos is the logical appeal, which intends to persuade the audience using reason and logic.   In order to make an ethos, or ethical appeal, convince the audience that you are a reliable, intelligent and can be trusted. Here is how you can achieve this: 1. Provide personal experience or know someone whose experience can relate to what you are talking about 2. Use detailed and recent research in your argument 3. Use professional and appropriate vocabulary 4. Avoid sounding overly emotional 5. Only use first person when talking about personal experience; otherwise, write in third person.

Answer : 4. "All the above"
Explanation :

Answer: D) All the above Explanation: Random mutations are the ultimate source of genetic variation. Mutations are likely to be rare and most mutations are neutral or deleterious, but in some instances, the new alleles can be favored by natural selection. Polyploidy is an example of chromosomal mutation.   Mutations are changes in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect. 1) mutation - an alteration in DNA sequence, various types 2) intragenic recombination - results in entirely new associations of genes not present in either parental genome. Two forms of intragenic recombination: a) crossing overb) independent assortment3) reticulation – acquisition of genetic material from unrelated or relatively unrelated sources (e.g., hybrid species, horizontal gene transfer).
