How do chaetoceros contribute to global atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide levels?

Chemistry

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
3 0

Chaetoceros is planktonic diatoms and known to be the largest genus with 400 described species. It has a cell wall made up of silica containing long thin spins. These spines connect the cell walls together to form a colony of cells.

Due to its high rate of growth and high lipid concentration, they can be used as bio fuel. Colonies of chaetoceros act as an important food source inside the water and they are major contributor of carbon.

In north water, they contribute 91% of the total phytoplankton cells thus acting as an important producer in the area. This contributes to the production of oxygen in north water. Total phytoplankton contributes to half of the oxygen production of Earth.

In this way, chaetoceros contribute to global atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide levels.

Which of the graphs below might represent a mixture of pure water and ice exposed to a room temperature of 3°C?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

C. Graph C  

Explanation:

We have a mixture of water and ice.

At 0 °C they are at equilibrium.

water-to-ice rate = ice-to-water rate

Next, we lower the temperature to -3 °C — just slightly below freezing.

The water will slowly turn to ice.  

The water-to-ice rate will be slightly faster than the ice-to-water rate.

The purple bar will be slightly higher than the blue bar.

Graph C best represents the relative rates

A. is wrong. The ice-to-water rate is faster, so the water is melting. The temperature is slightly above freezing (say, 3 °C).

B. is wrong. The two rates are equal, so the temperature is 0 °C.

D. is wrong. The water-to-ice rate (freezing) is much greater than the ice-to-water rate, so the temperature is well below freezing( say, -10 °C).

Derivative for tan(x)
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

  • sec² (x)

Explanation:

Use the trigonometric ratio definition of the tangent function and the quotient rule.

  • tan(x) = sin(x) / cos(x)

Quotient rule: the derivative of a quotient is:

  • [the denominator × the derivative of the numerator less the numerator × the derivative of the denominator] / [denominator]²

  • (f/g)' = [ g×f' - f×g'] / g²

So,

  • tan(x)' = [ sin(x) / cos(x)]'
  • [ sin(x) / cos(x)]' = [ cos(x) sin(x)' - sin(x) cos(x)' ] / [cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos(x)cos(x) + sin(x) sin(x) ] / [ cos(x)]²

                                   = [ cos²(x) + sin²(x) ] / cos²(x)

                                   = 1 / cos² (x)

                                   = sec² (x)

The result is that the derivative of tan(x) is sec² (x)
