Why is mass a better unit for measuring matter than weight?*

Biology
1 answer:
SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Because mass is constant, while weight depends on gravity.

Explanation:

For example, your mass on Earth will be the same as your mass on planet Mars. Your weight however, will change depending on the force of gravity exerted on you.

The Great Electron Chase: Describe the flow of electrons from rain falling on your strawberry garden into the strawberry plant (
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

As the rain water is absorbed by the strawberry roots to the leaves, the first step of light independent stage of photosynthesis; Photolysis takes place.

                               H20 = 2H+ + 2e + 2O2.

Generally, the chlorophyll is made up of primary and accessory pigments in its photosystems I and II. These photosystems emitted their electrons through photo activation; these are picked up by electron acceptors; for photophosphorylation in ATPs synthesis. Therefore, these photosystems are positively charged. Hence, PI takes electrons from P II (since it is Cyclic photophosphorylation).Thus P1 is now stabilized, why PII is unstable. To regain its stability, it replaces its lost electrons from the electron of photolysis of water above. This is the electron from the rain water on the (stored in chlorophyll) strawberry. The electron from PI combines with H+and picked up by NAD to NADH. (2H+2e+NADP= NADH).

When the strawberry is consumed, it undergoes digestion and its cellulose metabolized to glucose (the electrons are trapped in the elements C,H,O in the glucose) which flows into the blood stream. As the individual undergoes cellular respiration the glucose with its electrons are the substrate. The glucose, undergoes substrate level phosphorylation (Glycolysis).These electrons are transferred from glucose to the new elements in pyruvate as glucose moves from one stage to another. The electrons are also transferred as part of  H picked up by NAD to NADH. They are transferred from pyruvate to Acetyl, as the latter forms Acetyl Co A with coenzyme A.  

The Acetyl CoA, enters the Krebs’s Cycle, and as, moves from one step to another, these electrons are transferred from one intermediate to another. They are eventually transferred by NADH, FADH2 into the matrix of the mitochondria, where they splits from hydrogen atoms, and carried by electron carriers. As they move from one carries to another, PMF is generated which pumps the H+ across into the inner membranes, to generate the electrochemical gradients for ATPs synthesis, as the protons returns to the matrix.

When these electrons reached the end of the carrier molecule, they are accepted by oxygen the final electron acceptor, to form water. These electrons is transported as water, to the kidney where they are pass through the stages of glomerular filtration, reabsorption, secretion before they are emptied in urine as waste.

<span>Based on a study of recreational drugs that have been linked with a higher incidence of sudden infant death syndrome was the use of Marijuana and other recreational drugs like cocaine, crack, crystal, amphetamine, methamphetamine, and speed but cocaine was the most commonly used drug. The basis of the infant sudden death was that both maternal and paternal were using at the time of conception and during in the latter stage of pregnancy. Tobacco smoking of the mother during pregnancy can also affect the life of the baby. There is statistics base on the study on how many percents it will affect the condition of the infant.</span>

maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The sound will reach my ear in a shorter time in Scenario 1.

The speed of sound waves in solids is faster than it is in gases.

Explanation:

The sound which is produce due to hitting of metal bar with a drumstick reaches to the ears in short time because sound is a longitudinal wave which requires or needs medium for its propagation from one place to another and in solids the particles of medium are close to each other as compared to air so the sound travels faster in solid materials as compared liquid and gases and takes less time to reach my ears.
