If you exercise at an intensity of 1 liter of oxygen per minute, about how many calories would you burn in one hour?

2 answers:

7 0

A human being burns about 5 calories per liter of oxygen consumed so if a person were consuming 1 liter of oxygen a minute they would burn about 300 calories an hour. While sitting still the average person consumes about 250 ml a minute so at 5 liters a minute they would be getting an aerobic work out.

When exercising carbohydrates an fats are oxidized to release energy used by muscles, during this oxidation 1 liter of oxygen is equivalent to approximately 5 calories. Therefore if one liter of oxygen is consumed every minute during exercise, then in an hour 60 liters of oxygen will have been used. But since one liter of oxygen is equivalent to 5 calories, then in an hour 300 calories will have burned.

Which statement describes transform boundaries?

WARRIOR [948]

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. California's San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.

Which environmental factor could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a population of tuna?

jeyben [28]

Answer:

The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).

Explanation:

There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.

The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.

For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.

Other options, such as an increase in food availability, a decrease in tuna fishing or a decrease in tuna predators, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.

Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves a five nucleotide DNA sequence GA(A/T)TC. The ambiguity in the central position - (A/T) - means

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

C) 2.0 kb

Explanation:

It is given that out of the 4 nucleotides A, T, C & G each one has equal probability to occur at any position on the DNA molecule which simply means that the probability of occurrence of any nucleotide at a position is 1/4.

Also, it is given that probability of occurrence of either A or T at 3rd position is equal which means that the probability at that particular position will be 2/4 = 1/2.

Now, GA(A/T)TC is the DNA sequence where Restriction enzyme HinfI cleaves so the total probability of an average HinfI cleavage fragment will be = 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/2 x 1/4 x 1/4 = 0.00195 = 0.2 i.e. 2 kb.

Sonja [21]

Answer:

The answer is the purpose of the purchase.

Explanation:

A marketing company is a business record and leading standard proposal published by a customer to a merchant, showing varieties, sizes, and allowed charges for commodities or stints. It is employed to constrain the acquiring of commodities and militarizes from obvious suppliers. In extension, the consumer should forever acutely and explicitly state their requests to the agent so there is no trouble when the buying order is initiated.
