Biological muscle cells can be thought of as nanomotors that use the chemical energy of ATP to produce mechanical work. Measurem

ents show that the active proteins within a muscle cell (such as myosin and actin) can produce a force of about 8.0 pN and displacements of 8.0 nm. How much work is done by such proteins?

Answer:

The answer is 6.4 × 10^{-20} Joules

Explanation:

This question wants to effectively test your knowledge of the names of the negative powers of 10, so first of all, before calculating, let me explain what each of the symbols in the units given in the question means:

Force = 8.0 pN = 8.0 × 10^{-12} N

displacement = 8.0 nm = 8.0 × 10^{-9} N

Now let us calculate the work.

work = Force × Displacement

work = 8.0 × 10^{-12}  × 8.0 × 10^{-9} = 64 × 10^{-21}

= 6.4 × 10^{20} Joules (in standard form)

Talja [164]
I would say the best option is "A". The climate in the arctic is full of snow, which is also white. It helps the arctic fox and snowshoe rabbit to hide. I didn't say inter species competition because they aren't competing for the same resource. (rabbit, vegetarian; fox, carnivore)

I hope this helps you!

Brainliest answer is always appreciated!

Describe the biome in which the species lives and the properties of the biome
diamong [38]

Answer:

A biome is described as an area of the planet, which is classified on the basis of plants and animals living in that area. Soil, amount of light, temperature, and water are some of the important factors that determine what type of life exists in a biome.

The temperature, vegetation, and precipitation are the important characteristics of the biome.

Examples of biomes include tundra, desert etc.

What is an example of abiotic part of an environment

Temperature. 
These are just a few of many, but all abiotic factors are not living. Hence A-Biotic
Biotic means living, so when you put the ''a'' prefix it means the opposite of living.

Megan observes four cells under a microscope and makes sketches of them as shown. Identify whether the cells are prokaryotic or
posledela
I cannot found the images of the microscopy anywhere. But I can explain how you can differentiate a procaryote from a eucaryote under a microscope.

The first difference between them is the size of the cell. eucaryotes are generally much bigger than procaryotes. Procaryotes are visible only at x100 objective, but eucaryotes are visible starting from the x10 zoom.

The second difference is the presence of a nucleus in eukaryotes and the absence of it in procaryotes.

The third difference is the presence of organelles in eukaryotes and the presence of a cell wall in procaryotes (only visible at electronic microscopy).
