5. A dedicated earth science student using an aneroid barometer measures the air

pressure at the base of Slide Mountain

as 1016.0 mb. At the same time another

dedicated earth science student measures

the pressure at the top of the mountain.

Which pressure reading could be correct

at the top of Slide mountain?

(1) 1016.0 mb (3) 1025.7 mb

(2) 988.5 mb (4) 1040.0 mb 5

(2) 988.5 mb.

Explanation:

The air pressure descends as we ascend. In other words, they are inversely proportional.

The air pressure descends as we ascend the mountain because the air molecules that are above us in high altitudes are fewer than the number of air molecules that are above us in the base of the mountain. So, the exerted pressure of the molecules on ourselves is lower in high altitudes.

Due to the reason mentioned above, we can deduce that the only correct option is option number two since the other ones show increasing or the same pressure, which is not possible as we ascend.

correct answer is a. and d.

1. amino acid refers to the fundamental building block of proteins, comprising of an amino group and a carboxyl group.

2. catalyst refers to any substance, which increases the rate of chemical reaction without being used up in the reaction.

3. a complex molecule containing he genetic code is dna or deoxyribonucleic acid.

4. an enzyme refers to a molecule of protein, which is unique in accelerating up a particular chemical reaction in the biological systems.

5. nucleic acid refers to an sequence of sugars, phosphates, and nitrogenous bases, for example, dna and rna.

6. a protein refers to a large, composite organic molecule comprising of a huge number of amino acids associated together with the of peptide bonds.

7. rna refers to a nucleic acid that takes part in the production of proteins.

8. substrate refers to a compound, which takes part in a chemical reaction, and is chemically modified by the reaction.
