Ina shoots a large marble (marble a, mass: 0.08 kg) at a smaller marble (marble b, mass: 0.05 kg) that is sitting still. marble a was initially moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s, but after the collision it has a velocity of –0.1 m/s. what is the resulting velocity of marble b after the collision? be sure to show your work for solving this problem along with the final answer.

Sand spinifex grass is adapted to growing on sand dunes. it is a rapidly spreading plant and the creeping runners produce new root systems. which of these best explains the benefits of these features? a. it limits water loss through the leaves. b. it provides support by anchoring the plant. c. it protects the plant from predators. d. it allows the plant to tolerate salt. reset submit

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

Omg substrates with the same size and shape as the active site will bind to the enzyme. why is the key labeled the “bad” substrate?
