Think of the shape of a wave. It looks like a squiggly line. We know the highest part of that line is the peak. The wavelength i

s the distance between wave peaks. Waves of the same type can differ in wavelength. For example, the wavelength of light waves determines its color. Amplitude is the measurement of a wave's height. It is measured in two ways. Peak-to-peak amplitude is the distance between the peak (the topmost part of a wave) and the trough (the lowermost part). Semi-amplitude is half the peak-to-peak amplitude. Most of the time when people refer to "amplitude," they are referring to the semi-amplitude: the distance from the middle of the wave to the top, or the middle of the wave to the bottom. The amplitude of a sound wave determines its volume.
Which of the following best explains the relationship between peak-to-peak amplitude and semi-amplitude?
A Semi-amplitude is half the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
B Semi-amplitude is the same distance as the peak-to-peak amplitude.
C Semi-amplitude is double the distance of the peak-to-peak amplitude.
D Semi-amplitude is always greater than the peak-to-peak amplitude.

Answer; 
Open system; can exchange both matter and energy; An example is a living organism such as human being, we actively interact with environment, which results in changes  to both the environment and human being, for instance we eat to acquire energy.
Closed system; can exchange energy but not matter; An example is a saucepan, t<span>he saucepan allows energy transfer as the saucepan heats up and heats the contents inside it, putting a lid on it, prevents matter from entering and becomes a closed system.</span>
Isolated system; Can exchange neither energy nor matter. For example is a thermos. if tea is poured into a thermos or an insulated container there is no exchange of heat or matter.

What is the different between somatic cells and haploid gamete cells?
cricket20 [7]
Somatic cells or body cells have a dipliod or full set of chromosomes. Gametes or sex cells, also called germ cells, have a hapliod number of chromosomes or half the number. Somatic cells are diploid cells, whereas the gametes are haploid cells. Meiosis does not take place during the production of somatic cells, whereas meiosis takes place during gametogenesis (production of gametes) giving rise to haploid cells. Somatic cells do not fuse during sexual reproduction, whereas gametes fuse during sexual reproduction giving rise to a diploid zygote.Somatic cells are found almost everywhere in the body, whereas gametes are restricted to certain parts

If a plant has a mutation and cannot produce Casparian strips, what process won't it be able to do?
k0ka [10]

If a plant has no Casparian strips, it will not be able to control the amount of water it absorbs and solutes. Casparian strips regulate the amount of water that gets to the xylem. Without it, a plant won’t be able to control the amount of water going to the xylem.
