correct description of how the sun transfers heat to Earth? The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter. Convection cannot occur in gases. Earth can absorb heat only in the form of radiation. Electromagnetic waves do not carry energy.

Answer: The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter.

Explanation:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

1. Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

Thus convection can not take place between earth and sun as there is no liquid or gas present for movement of heat. The heat is transferred from sun to earth by radiation as it occurs through space.

Answer:

Option A, The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter

Explanation:

For convection to take place some medium is required for heat to travel.  

Basically convection takes place when heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature which also requires matter motion. Since the space between earth and sun is a vacuum, therefore convection cannot take place.  

However, sun provides heat to earth through radiation as it does not require a medium for travelling.  

Hence, option A is correct

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

  • The tissue through which the messages are relayed between different areas of the grey matter is termed the white matter.
  • The nerve fibers present in the white matter are surrounded by myelin due to which they appear white and hence, the name.
  • White matter is present in deeper parts of the brain and on the superficial parts of the spinal cord in the central nervous system.
  • White matter under normal conditions is absent from the cerebral cortex.

. intradermal vaccination with influenza virus-like particles by using microneedles induces protection superior to that with int
andrezito [222]

The most significant limitation to the clinical utility of anthracycline antineoplastic medicines, which include doxorubicin (adriamycin), daunorubicin, or epirubicin, is the danger of cardiotoxicity.

  • Nevertheless, these substances continue to rank among the most popular anticancer medications.
  • Although the oxidative stress-based concept involving intramyocardial formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has acquired the most respect, the molecular etiology of anthracycline cardiotoxicity is still quite debatable.
  • Through redox cycling of both their aglycones and anthracycline-iron complexes, anthracyclines may facilitate the generation of ROS.
  • Given the remarkable cardioprotective efficacy of dexrazoxane, this suggested mechanism has gained a lot of traction (ICRF-187).

What is Influenza?

  • It affects the lungs, nose, and throat.
  • High-risk groups include young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, persons with chronic illnesses, and those with weakened immune systems.
  • Fever, chills, muscle pains, cough, congestion, runny nose, headaches, and exhaustion are some of the symptoms.
  • Rest and fluids are the main treatments for the flu because they allow the body to fight the illness on its own.
  • Anti-inflammatory painkillers sold over-the-counter may aid with symptoms. An yearly flu shot can lessen complications and aid in prevention.
