What happens when thermal energy is absorbed

1 answer:

7 0

Heat, once absorbed as energy, contributes to the overall internal energy of the object. One form of this internal energy is kinetic energy; the particles begin to move faster, resulting in a greater kinetic energy. This more vigorous motion of particles is reflected by a temperature increase.

What’s Newton’s first law

Klio2033 [76]

Newton’s first law had to do with inertia, which is a property that explains that something in motion will continue in motion unless stopped by a force of some sort.

“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”

Describe logistic population growth from a small population to a large one. be sure you talk about the population growth rate (t

gavmur [86]

When a population is small in a habitat, its population growth is exponential. This means it doubles its population with every generation. This is because there is plenty of resources and little competition between individuals of the population. However, as the population grows bigger, the population reaches carrying capacity (the maximum number that the ecosystem can hold). The growth slows and stagnates as stiff competition results to an equal death rate as birth rate.

What is ne function of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?

navik [9.2K]

Smooth ER, by contrast, is not associated with ribosomes, and its functions differ. The smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, which are used in the production of new cellular membrane.

Which of the following is the best definition of a saturated fatty acid?

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The best choice would be C.

A saturated fatty acid is a basic unit of lipid that consists of only single carbon to carbon bonds.

Saturated fatty acids have been “saturated” with hydrogen ions and only have single carbon to carbon bonds, unlike unsaturated fatty acids that have both single and double bonds and have kinks and aren’t straight.

Saturated fatty acids are solid in room temperature(animal fats) and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid in room temperature(oils/plant fats).
