Smaller cube (1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm) 

<span>The surface area of one side = 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>There are 6 sides, total SA = 6 X 1 <span>cm2</span> = 6 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>Volume = 1 cm X 1 cm X 1 cm = 1 cubic cm (1 <span>cm3</span>)</span>

<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 6 <span>cm2</span>/1 <span>cm3</span> = 6 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>


Larger cube (6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm) 

<span>The surface area of one side = 6 cm X 6 cm = 36 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>There are 6 sides, the total SA = 6 X 36 <span>cm2</span> = 216 <span>cm2</span></span>

 

<span>Volume = 6 cm X 6 cm X 6 cm = 216 <span>cm3</span></span>

 

<span>Surface to Volume Ratio = 216 <span>cm2</span>/216 <span>cm3</span> = 1 <span>cm2/cm3</span></span>

What are some proposed disadvantages to utilizing DNA technology?
vfiekz [6]
Most of the downsides of recombinant DNA technology are ethical in nature. Some people feel that recombinant DNA technology goes against the laws of nature, or against their religious beliefs, due to how much control this technology gives humans over the most basic buildings blocks of life.

Other ethical concerns also exist. Some people worry that if companies can pay scientists to patent, buy and sell genetic material, then genetic material could become an expensive commodity. Such a system might lead to people having their genetic information stolen and used without permission. It may sound odd, but such cases have already happened. In 1951, a scientist used unique cells stolen from a woman named Henrietta Lacks to create an important cell line (the HeLa cell line) which is still used in medical research today. Her family did not know about her involuntary donation until after her death, and never received compensation, but others have profited from the use of HeLa cells.

Many people worry about the safety of modifying food and medicines using recombinant DNA technology. Although genetically modified foods seem safe in multiple studies, it is easy to see why such fears exist.

swat32

Answer:

a nutrition facility that targets women

Explanation:

It should be noted that biomechanics is known to be the study of movement, most especially in biological system. And the person involved in this study is being referred to as a biomechanists.

It should be understood that the major role of the biomechanist is to make use of the knowledge or principles acquired, that is, the principles of  physical mechanics in combination with those of biology , in order to understand how people move, how they can move more effectively, why they sometimes get injured and how to reduce the incidence of injury.

in this case, they are not expected in a nutrition facility that targets women.

Due to recent drought, a farmer has lost quite a bit of soil on his fields because?
jeyben [28]
Well... i think that when drying up, the soil breaks down into a powder, but i think you know that already. but maybe when the water all evaporates, you know it doesn't leave all of the dirt behind. like when saltwater is evaporated it doesn't leave behind the salt. so my best guess is that bits of soil was brought up wit the water
