'Capturing a photon by<em> isomerization and rhodopsin </em>of retinal' is the first step necessary for initiating the visual transduction cascade in rods.

Visual transduction refers to the process in the eye where absorption of light in the 'retina' is translated into electrical signals that then reach the brain. It is correct to state that visual transduction is the photochemical reaction that takes place when light or photon is converted to an electric signal in the retina. The visual pigment in the rods, called rhodopsin, is a membrane protein placed in the outer segments of the rods.

When initiating the visual transduction cascade in rods the first vital step is to capture a photon by<em> isomerization and rhodopsin</em> of retinal'.

A 900 kg car is accelerated from a speed of 10 m/s to 30 m/s. An estimated heat loss of 20 BTU's occurs during the acceleration.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Work = 651,1011 kJ

Explanation:

Let´s take the car as a system in order to apply the first law of thermodynamics as follows:

E_{in}- E_{out}=E_{system,final}- E_{system,initial}

Where

E_{in}- E_{out}=(Q_{in}-Q_{out})_{heat}+(W_{in}-W_{out})_{work}+(Em_{in}-Em_{out})_{mass}

And considering that there is no mass transfer and that the only energy flows that interact with the system are the heat losses and the work needed to move the car we have:

E_{in}- E_{out}=-Q_{out}+W_{in}

Regarding the energy system we have the following:

E_{system,final}- E_{system,initial}=(U_{f}-U_{i})_{internal}+(1/2m(V^2_{f}-V^2_{i}))_{kinetic}+(mg(h_{f}-h_{i}))_{potential}

By doing the calculations we have:

E_{system,final}- E_{system,initial}=[0,1*900]_{internal}+[0,5*900(30^2-10^2)/1000)_{kinetic}+(900*10*(20-0)/1000)_{potential}\\E_{system,final}- E_{system,initial}=90+360+180=630kJ

Consider that in the previous calculation, the kinetic and potential energy terms were divided by 1.000 to change the units from J to kJ.

Finally, the work needed to move the car under the required conditions is calculated as follows:

W_{in}=Q_{out}+E_{system,final}- E_{system,initial}\\W_{in}=21,1011+630=651,1011kJ

Consider that in the previous calculation, the heat loss was changed previously from BTU to kJ.

Answer:

1.Economists divide the factors of production into four categories: land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. The first factor of production is land, but this includes any natural resource used to produce goods and services.

2.Management skills can be defined as certain attributes or abilities that an executive should possess in order to fulfill specific tasks in an organization. They include the capacity to perform executive duties in an organization. ... and practical experience as a manager.                                                                              3.No corrective action is required when the deviations are within acceptable limits. However, when the deviations go beyond the acceptable range, in the important areas, it demands immediate managerial attention so that deviations do not occur again and standards are accomplished.

Answer:

Common Uses: Boxwood is well-suited for carving and turning, and the tree's diminutive size restricts it to smaller projects. Some common uses for Boxwood include: carvings, chess pieces, musical instruments (flutes, recorders, woodwinds, etc.), rulers, handles, turned objects, and other small specialty items.If you want a small, compact, low-growing shrub to form a hedge that serves as an accent or border along your walkway, fence line or planting beds, dwarf boxwood varieties are the best pick. The "Dwarf English" boxwood (Buxus sempervirens “Suffruticosa”) creates a border hedge approximately 1 to 2 feet in height.
