What form of natural selection is shown on a graph as selection against an extreme?
Directional selection is shown on a graph as selection against an extreme. This occurs when individuals at one extreme of a trait distribution have lower fitness than individuals with intermediate phenotypes or those at the opposite extreme. Over time, this can lead to a shift in the average phenotype of a population.
Do honey bees depend on other living things for food?
Yes, honey bees rely on flowers for nectar and pollen, which serve as their main food sources. They are dependent on these flowering plants for their survival and for the production of honey and beeswax.

How diamond and graphite are stable in octet state?
Diamond and graphite are both stable forms of carbon, but they exhibit different structures that achieve stability in the octet state. In diamond, each carbon atom forms four strong covalent bonds in a tetrahedral arrangement, leading to a three-dimensional structure where each carbon shares electrons with four others, satisfying the octet rule. In contrast, graphite consists of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, where each carbon atom forms three bonds with neighboring atoms, allowing for delocalized electrons that contribute to its stability and conductivity. Both structures ensure that each carbon atom effectively utilizes its four valence electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration.
Alkanes make good fuels because they have high energy content per unit mass, they undergo combustion reactions that release a large amount of heat energy when burned, and they are relatively abundant and easily obtainable from fossil fuel sources. Additionally, alkanes burn cleanly and produce less pollution compared to other fuel sources.
How do Levitron dimmer switches enhance the lighting control in a room?
Levitron dimmer switches allow you to adjust the brightness of the lights in a room, giving you more control over the lighting levels. This can help create different moods, save energy, and extend the lifespan of the light bulbs.
Who discoverded the boron atom?
The boron atom was discovered by two separate scientists: Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac and Louis Jacques Thénard in 1808, and independently by Sir Humphry Davy in 1808.
Why acetic acid is called mono basic acid?
Acetic acid is called a monobasic acid because it can donate only one hydrogen ion (H+) in a chemical reaction. This is because it has one replaceable hydrogen atom in its chemical structure, making it capable of forming one bond with a base.
When air is compressed it cools true or false?
False. When air is compressed, it actually heats up due to the increase in pressure, which raises the temperature of the air molecules. This phenomenon is a result of the ideal gas law, where compressing a gas without allowing it to expand or cool will increase its temperature. However, if the compressed air is allowed to expand rapidly, it can cool, as seen in processes like adiabatic expansion.
How does the galaxy affect the earth?
Fairly averagely- it's a spiral galaxy of the larger sort, revolving slowly anticlockwise and of medium age as galaxies go. Our neighbouring galaxies are somewhat closer together in distance to each other than is usual, not exactly forming a cluster but making 'near neighbours' in galactic terms. There are many galaxies in the Universe that are far larger and older than our own Milky way, but also many others that are younger and smaller. Generally speaking, the younger galaxies tend to be in closer proximity to each other than older ones.
What is really amazing, is that there are AT LEAST as many galaxies in the Universe as there are stars in our own galaxy- that's hundreds of millions!! Pretty cosmic stuff, eh?!
The galaxies move farther and farther apart as time stretches across the empty void which is our universe.
What cities are hubs for us airways?
Milwaukee and Kansas City are the main hubs for Midwest Airlines. The airport codes for these are MCI and MKE respectively.

What are the pigments that plants use?
Plants primarily use chlorophyll, carotenoids, and anthocyanins as pigments for photosynthesis and protection. Chlorophyll absorbs light energy for photosynthesis, carotenoids help in capturing light energy and protecting against damage, while anthocyanins provide protection against UV radiation and attract pollinators.
Yes - car fumes contain carbon monoxide which can kill you if breathed in an enclosed space without sufficient ventilation.
What type of oil for NBC e350?
I didn't know NBC made a car, but it will be in the maintenance section of your owner's manual. If it's a ford e350, i think it actually says 10w-30 on the cap, but check anyway.
How many volcanoes does the earth have?
No one knows exactly how many volcanoes are on the earth. There are approximately 1,500 volcanoes that have been active for the past 10,000 years. From the beginning of the earths time, the number of volcanoes could number in the millions.
The complement of a set S, relative to the universal set U, consists of all elements of U that are not in S.
Georgian Bay is relatively cold due to its location and size; it is a large inland body of water that doesn't warm up as quickly as smaller lakes. The bay's depth and exposure to cold air masses, especially in the winter, contribute to lower temperatures. Additionally, water circulation patterns and the influence of surrounding land features can further cool the water. Seasonal variations and regional climate also play a significant role in maintaining its cooler temperatures.

How do you tighten a loose Serpentine Belt on a 1990 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL?
if your belt tensioner's spring is getting tired the belt will slacken. you either have a very very stretched out belt (unlikely) or your belt tensioner needs replacing. I recommend that you replace the belt at the same time anyway.
A saucepan's capacity is typically measured in litres, with common sizes ranging from 1 to 5 litres. Smaller saucepans, around 1 to 2 litres, are ideal for cooking sauces or reheating small portions, while larger ones, between 3 to 5 litres, are better suited for boiling pasta or making soups. When choosing a saucepan, consider your cooking needs and the number of servings you usually prepare. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for exact capacity.

How do you update windows phone 7?
Well...
You need to install Zune on your PC it's free and is a useful bit of software if you want to expand how you use your phone.
Then plug in your phone and open up zune, use the USB to Mini USB you got as part of your charger. Zune will recognise your phone and will start to Sync the data from your phone with your PC (Transferring photos and stuff), this might take a while but you will need to do it..
Once it has finished, if there is an update available, a message will popup asking if you want to install an update, select yes.
If there is no message try to go into settings and update and search for update.
If then it doesn't work. Message me on my message board!
