The following questions refers to the synthesis of methylcyclohexenes from 2-methylcyclohexanol: Q.1) Why do we only use simple distillation?? Answer: I think it's something regarding Le's Chatelier's principle, i.e, to move the equilibrium of the reaction to the right side of the reaction formula. Is this correct? Or is there more to this? Q.2) Why do we use gc and gcmas, instead of nmr? Answer: because gc and gcmas gives the ratio of the various isomeric products, i.e gives their...

4) Why is it suggested, by evolutionary biologists, that the teleosts (and the other ray finned fish) share a common ancestor which was freshwater, even though many contemporary teleosts are marine? a) because the earliest fossil animals are found in freshwater strata, and since teleosts are animals, the earliest teleost must have been freshwater also b) because, unlike sharks, teleosts are highly-evolved, which means osmoregulating in a wide variety of environments c) because the bodily fluid osmolarities in teleosts and...

Background Almost all animal and plant cells require oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. This is called gas exchange and it occurs by passive diffusion. Some animals do all or most of their gas exchange across their skin (for example amphibians) but they have very low metabolisms and use very little oxygen and get rid of very little carbon dioxide. On the other hand humans (and other mammals) have very high metabolic requirements and we can’t rely on gas exchange...
