5 facts about the reproductive system

1 answer:

4 0

After you ovulate, your egg is fertile for between 24 to 48 hours and a man’s sperm can survive in the female body for 48 hours. There have actually even been documented cases of live sperm surviving in the female reproductive system for eight days after intercourse!One breast is always larger than the other. Most of the time, it goes without notice but it is typical for breast size to be slightly mismatched. Some women can be born with two uteruses or two vaginas and have no idea until they notice abnormal menstruation or excessive bleeding. You are born with all the eggs you will ever have in a lifetime which can be anywhere from thousands to millions however, only about 300 to 400 of these eggs will mature and be released for fertilization. You ovaries take turns each month releasing eggs.

An owl has good night vision because its eyes can detect a light intensity as small as 5.0 × 10-13 W/m2. What is the minimum num

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

Explanation:

Light intensity, $I_{min}$ = $5\times 10^{-13} W/m^{2}$

Pupil has a diameter, d = 8.5 mm

= 8.5 x $10^{-3}$ m

Radius of the eye, r = 4.25 x $10^{-3}$ m

∴ Area of the eye, A = $\pi .r^{2}$

= $3.14\times \left ( 4.25\times 10^{-3} \right )^{2}$

= $5.6\times 10^{-5} m^{2}$

Let $P_{min}$ be the minimum number of photons.

Therefore, $P_{min}$ = $I_{min}$ x A

= $5\times 10^{-13}$ x $5.6\times 10^{-5}$

= $2.8\times 10^{-17}$ W

Thus the minimum number of photons is given by

$N_{min}=P_{min}/E$

where E = $hc/\lambda$

= $\left (6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8} \right )/548\times 10^{-9}$

= $3.62\times 10^{-19} J$

Therefore, $N_{min}$ = $\frac{2.8\times 10^{-17}}{3.62\times 10^{-19}}$

= 77.34 photons per second

Thus, the minimum number of photons per second is 77.34

1. Describe the plasma membrane, and explain why it is called a bilayer structure.

irina [24]

Answer:

Plasma Membrane is like all other cellular membranes, the plasma membrane consists of both lipids and proteins. The lipid bilayer (or phospholipid bilayer) is a thin polar membrane made of two layers of lipid molecules

What type of volcano is found along a convergent boundary

Zina [86]

A shield vol may be produced by hot spots which lay far away from the edges of tectonic plates. Shields also occur along the mid-oceanic ridge, where sea-floor spreading is in progress and along subduction related volcanic arcs.
