It has a global outreach and is an effective tool to help raise global awareness of the threats faced by migratory birds, their ecological importance, and the need for international cooperation to conserve them.

The perfect paging size varies from system to system, so there is no single best when it reaches to page size. There are several factors to consider in order to come up with a fitting page size, such as paging time, page table, and its effect on the total performance of the operating system.

DNA is a very long chain polymer made up of thousands of repeating units called nucleotides.

Nucleotide Unit is composed of a phosphate group, a pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

The sides of the DNA ladder are made up of alternating deoxyribose sugar -- phosphate group units.

True, Water is a Pure substance and not a mixture.

We know that, A mixture is when two or more substances combine physically together. You can find that the mixture retains the properties of the original components.

In water, two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom chemically, forming a new substance that has properties different from hydrogen alone or oxygen alone.

Therefore, water is not a mixture; it is a compound and it is pure.

We know that polar substances are soluble in polar solvents and non polar substances are soluble in non-polar solvents only. Here the hydrocarbons are non-polar molecular substances and water is a polar solvent. So water can't dissolve hydrocabons.

Hence, as hydrocarbons are non-polar substances, they are insoluble in water as it is a highly polar solvent. 

A metalloid is an element with properties between metals and non metals or the mix of both.

The six metalloids are arsenic, silicon, germanium, boron, antimony and tellurium.

Hence, silicon is the only metalloid in the given list.
