Based on the physical appearance of the two crystal samples, which is a metal?

it is sample A .  !!

hope it helps

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.

answer: zinc is the substance which has a volume of 1.38 .

density is defined as the mass of an object per unit volume.

it can be calculated by dividing mass of a substance by its volume i.e.

si unit of density is kg per cubic meter and cgs unit of the same is gram per cubic centimeter.

now from the given data volume can be calculated by the formula .

hence, the volume of aluminium will be = which comes out to be 1.703 .

similarly, volume of zinc, chromium, and nickel will be 1.378 , 0.869 , and 0.356 respectively.
