Answer: the study of astronomy in ancient times was mainly to keep track of the time and different seasons. This was very important in farming practices eapecially when to plant.

Explanation: Astronomical achievement of ancient cultures:

1. The Aztecs built Temple Mayor used to mark and keep track of the beginning and end of the different seasons

2. The Egyptians constructed huge obelisks which may have been used as clocks interpreted as light struck them at different parts of the day

3. The Greeks developed the Metonic cycle which is a 19 year cycle on which the dates of different phases of the moon repeat

4. The Druids were believed to have built Stonehenge as a clock to tell time as well as different phases of the moon and sun.

Answer:

Obsessive compulsive.

Explanation:

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental illness that causes repeated unwanted thoughts or sensations (obsessions) or the urge to do something over and over again (compulsions). Some people can have both obsessions and compulsions.

OCD isn’t about habits like biting your nails or thinking negative thoughts. An obsessive thought might be that certain numbers or colors are “good” or “bad.” A compulsive habit might be to wash your hands seven times after touching something that could be dirty. Although you may not want to think or do these things, you feel powerless to stop.

What effect does the addition of surfactant have on the airflow? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
MissTica

Answer:

Surfactant increases airflow. It has this effect on airflow because it reduces resistance to lung inflation.  Airflow increased as predicted.

Explanation:

Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins secreted by the Type II alveolar cells. The major component of surfactant, dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is an amphiphatic phospholipid. The main function of the pulmonary surfactant is to reduce the surface tension at the air/liquid interface in the lungs by forming lining layer between the aqueous airway liquid and the inspired air. prevents alveolar and airway collapse at end-expiration and thus allows cyclic ventilation of the lungs. It decreases surface tension in the alveoli making it easier for the alveoli to increase surface area for gas exchange. By lowering alveolar surface tension, pulmonary surfactant provides two important benefits:

(1) it increases pulmonary compliance, reducing the work of inflating the lungs; and

(2) it reduces the lungs’ tendency to recoil, so they do not collapse as readily.
