The 2 level portion in the graph represents the changing of state.

Every substance has internal energy, which includes kinetic energy and potential energy. Kinetic energy means the temperature, and the potential energy means the bondings or attractions.

When a substance is heated up, they first increase their temperature as the same state. For example, the ice starts at - 5 °C, they won't start melting immediately as they're not at their melting point yet. Instead, they first absorb heat and increase their temperature to 0°C. This is same for when water increase their temperature until their boiling point. Their kinetic energy is increasing, but potential energy is unchanged as they stay at the same state. That's why the slope is increasing.

However, but once the ice or water has reached their melting or boiling point, they have to go through a state change. During that time, they do not increase their temperature (K.E. unchanged) . Instead, the heat they absorbed is used to increase the potential energy to break the bonds and turn into another state. The heat absorbed is called latent heat.

This explains why in the graph, there's 2 level portions, as the substance is going through a state change and increasing their potential energy instead of their kinetic energy (temperature)

Explain how scientists know what stars are made of.​
natita [175]

Answer:

Scientists are perhaps some of the smart few that make up the human population and are never short on knowledge. They research and discover and conduct tests to gain more knowledge, but the answer to your question is stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores, and scientist know this because of their research.

What function do receptor proteins and structural proteins have in nerve cells?
Dovator [93]

A receptor refers to a protein molecule, which attains chemical signals from external of a cell. The receptor proteins are categorized by their location. On the other hand, the structural proteins refer to the fibrous proteins. One of the essential activity of the structural protein is to maintain the configuration of the cell.  

In the nerve cells, the receptor proteins pick up signals of pain and structural proteins helps in maintaining the shape and configuration of the nerve cell.
