Yes, the specific heat capacity of substances change when there is a change in temperature. At molecular level, the internal energy of a substance is stored in form of translational, rotational and vibrational energy. It has 3 degrees of freedom for each form of energy. In lower temperature ranges, say below 1000 degree celsius, vibrational energy is insignificant.
Answer:
The importance of ecosystem stability is that if the ecosystem is not stable then it cannot survive. A current example of an unstable ecosystem in the Amazon Rain forest. It has been delt so much damage that it is begining to self destruct and kill itself as well as emit greenhouse gases instead of slowing them.
Explanation:
When two convergent boundaries collide, especially in the ocean, an Island arc is formed.
When these two convergent plates collide, the older plate which is denser subducts beneath the younger plate. As the subducting plate is pushed deeper into the mantle, it melts. The magma this creates rises and erupts. This forms a line of volcanoes known as an island arc , with considerable earth quakes created.
Examples of island arcs include Japan, Indonesia, the Phillipine Islands and the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.
Answer:
Mannitol is a drug that temporarily disrupts tight junctions. This drug is often added to medications that need to get into the extra-cellular fluid of the brain because it will make the capillaries of the <u>blood-brain barrier </u>more permeable to larger molecules.
Explanation:
The blood-brain barrier's components are endothelial cells, basement membrane, pericytes, and astrocyte endfeet. The gaps between endothelial cells are small. As a consequence, they form tight junctions that allow the passage of specific and small molecules. In this way, the barrier stops any pathogen from entering the brain. That is to say, that the blood-brain barrier is extremely selective; therefore, medications will not pass through it, so to allow the medicine to enter the brain extracellular fluid, the tight junctions of the endothelial tissue must be disrupted with mannitol.
I think the first graph, I'm not positive though.
