(High) Heat Capacity

Heat capacity is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance by 1 unit degree (Celsius, Kelvin, Fahrenheit, Rankine). 

Water has a relatively high heat capacity, which means that it would have to absorb relatively large amounts of heat before it could actually have a large change (i.e. increases) in temperature. Conversely, it would have to give off a lot of heat in order for it to cool down.

The heat capacity of 1 gram of water is 4.184 Joules/°C, which means that 1 gram of water needs 4.184 Joules of heat to increase its temperature by 1°C. In comparison, 1 gram of copper only needs 0.385 Joules to raise its temperature by 1°C, which means that copper heats up by about 10 times more than water when subjected to the same amount of heat.

Arrange the following in the correct sequence, from earliest to most recent, in which these plant traits originated. 1. sporophy
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Earliest- gametophyte dominance, sporophyte dependence

Middle- sporophyte dominance, gametophyte independence

Recent-  sporophyte dominance, gametophyte dependence

Explanation:

The life cycle of plant alternates between the two phases: the haploid gametophyte which produces gametes and the diploid sporophyte which produces spores.  The evolution of land plants shows how these are dependent on each other in terms of the requirement of nutrition.

In bryophytes, the gametophyte is the dominant phase on which the sporophyte depended. Later in pteridophytes, the sporophyte became dominant which is present in the later evolved groups namely the gymnosperms and the angiosperms. The gametophyte was independent on the sporophyte but in angiosperms and gymnosperms, it is dependent.

Because all of these<span>tests would help me to determine if drugs were to be present in the crime scene</span>3.It's important forscientist to have as much information as possible about the place that the drugsubstance is found because many factors can contribute when identifying a type ofdrug and because there might of have been some other substances with the drugand this could affect identifying the drug substance
