Energy from the sun comes from fusion. what happens during this reaction
OverLord2011 [107]

Hydrogen atoms are compressed together by the enormous gravitational force of the sun, causing them to fuse int a helium atom (which is heavier than hydrogen), subatomic particles and enormous release of atomic energy. The attached picture shows the sequence of the main reaction at the core of the sun.

What was the peak annual production of the Lucas Gusher
quester [9]

Answer:

Peak annual production was 17.5 million barrels and this high production is gained in 1902.

Explanation:

Lucas Gusher situated near Beaumont, Texas in the United States of America. On 10th January, 1901, drilling was done at the depth of 1139 feets which is equal to 347 meters. It has the capacity of oil production about 75,000 barrels of oil per day while the maximum annual production was 17.5 million barrels and this high production is gained in 1902.

identify an independent variable in the experiment graphed in figure 1. based on the data in figure 1, identify a control that s
choli [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the graph. However, the independent variable of an experiment is the variable that is not affected by any other variable during the course of the experiment but is however intentionally or unintentionally predetermined by the researcher conducting the experiment. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of age on blood pressure; age is the independent variable because the age class/groups of the individuals to be used can be determined by the researcher also the age cannot be affected by the pressure (the age of a person cannot change because of an increase/decrease in blood pressure).

Also, the control of an experiment is the variable/data in which other data in the same experiment are compared to. For example, in an experiment to determine the effect of a substance (such as sepin-1) on the growth of cancer cells (using a culture medium), the control can be the culture medium that was not given any substance or the culture medium that was given a pure substance of no effect like water. This means, in this control culture medium, the cancer cells will continue to grow normally while that growth will be compared with what is seen in the culture medium treated with sepin-1.

mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Neurons, as with other excitable cells in the body, have two major physiological properties: irritability and conductivity. A neuron has a positive charge on the outer surface of the cell membrane due in part to the action of an active transport system called the sodium potassium pump. This system moves sodium (Na+) out of the cell and potassium (K+) into the cell. The inside of the cell membrane is negative, not only due to the active transport system but also because of intracellular proteins, which remain negative due to the intracellular pH and keep the inside of the cell membrane negative.

Explanation:

Neurons are cells with the capacity to transmit information between one another and also with other tissues in the body. This information is transmitted thanks to the release of substances called <em>neurotransmitters</em>, and this transmission is possible due to the <em>electrical properties </em>of the neurons.

For the neurons (and other excitable cells, such as cardiac muscle cells) to be capable of conducting the changes in their membranes' voltages, they need to have a<em> resting membrane potential</em>, which consists of a specific voltage that is given because of the electrical nature of both the inside and the outside of the cell. <u>The inside of the cell is negatively charged, while the outside is positively charged</u> - this is what generates the resting membrane potential. When the membrane voltage changes because the inside of the cell is becoming less negative, the neuron is being excited and - if this excitation reaches a threshold - an action potential will be fired. But how does the voltage changes? This happens because the distribution of ions in the intracellular and extracellular fluids is very dissimilar and when the sodium channels in the cell membrane are opened (because of an external stimulus), sodium enters the cell rapidly to balance out the difference in this ion concentration. The sudden influx of this positively-charged ion is what makes the inside of the neuron become less negative. This event is called <em>depolarization of the membrane</em>.
