You are given a compound that has a melting point of 560 C. You dissolve some of the compound in water and measure the pH of the resulting solution to be 11. You are told that the compound is either KCl, Ca(OH)₂, C₆H₁₂O₆, or H₂SO₄. Which of these compounds where you give? Explain.

The organelle pictured is found in cells of and is theorized to have once been an independent organism.

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

When a population split into two subgroups what is most likely to cause the subgroups to develop different traits?
