Answer:

The cup of water has a higher average kinetic energy

Lake Michigan has a higher total kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. It is commonly called energy in motion.

The average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body is the mean kinetic energy of the individual molecules. In the case in question, the two bodies are "a cup of water" and "Lake Michigan". Heat increases the kinetic energy of a substance. since the cup of water is boiling, the individual water molecules in the cup have a higher kinetic energy than the individual molecules each of the water molecules in lake Michigan whose temperature is at environmental temperature.

Using Hypothetical values, Let's say the cup of water contains 10 molecules of boiling water which is at a temperature of 100°C, and the water in lake Michigan has 10000 molecules of water at temperature of say 25°C. since kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature rise, it will be correct to say let the Kinetic energy of each individual molecule in the cup of boiling water be 100 Joules, while the kinetic energy of the individual molecules of water in Lake Michigan be 25 Joules. The average kinetic energy is the sum of the individual kinetic energy of the water molecules divided by the total number of water molecules in the body. Hence the average kinetic energy for the water molecules in the cup will be 100 Joules, while that of Lake Michigan will be 25 Joules, four times lower than the average kinetic energy of the water molecules in the cup, even though the total number of molecules in Lake Michigan is 1000 times that in the cup.

On the other hand, the total kinetic energy of the water molecules in each body is the sum of all the individual kinetic energies of the water molecules.  So, using our hypothetical value, the total kinetic energy of Lake Michigan will be 25000 Joules, while that of the cup of water is 1000 Joules, making the total kinetic energy in Lake Michigan higher than that of the cup by 25.

In conclusion it can be said that size affects total kinetic energy, while size do not have significant effect on average kinetic energy.

Select one organism that lives in the Ecosystem and describe three adaptations the organism possesses. Explain why the adaptatio
lesya [120]

Explanation:

Hey, there!

The eco-system consists of various type of organisms in tge ecosystem. The all type of organism as producer, decomposer, consumers live in ecosystem.

Three adaptations of organism are:

  • By losing and gaining of organs: Some of the animals lose their organs to survive in some places like yak have more hair to survive in cold places.
  • By changing the colour of body: Some animals such as grasshopper changes their colour to survive in places.
  • By modification of organs: some animals modify their organs to survive such as legs and beak of ducks are modified to survive in swim and search foods.

The importance of adaptation are:

  • It helps organism to live a longer life.
  • The adaptation helps to make an organism fittest to any environment.
  • The adaptation helps an organism to search foods and live their life.

When scientists discuss the Sixth Extinction, they are referring to which pattern in the rate of extinction?
Travka [436]

Explanation:

The Holocene extinction, otherwise referred to as the sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction, is an ongoing extinction event of species during the present Holocene epoch (with the more recent time sometimes called Anthropocene) as a result of human activity.[3][4][5] The included extinctions span numerous families of plants[6] and animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fishes and invertebrates. With widespread degradation of highly biodiverse habitats such as coral reefs and rainforests, as well as other areas, the vast majority of these extinctions are thought to be undocumented, as the species are undiscovered at the time of their extinction, or no one has yet discovered their extinction. The current rate of extinction of species is estimated at 100 to 1,000 times higher than natural background extinction rates.

Which chemical or chemicals inhibit the activity of dnases during dna isolation?
sergij07 [2.7K]

EDTA inhibits the activity of DNase during DNA isolation process.

DNase is an enzyme which degrades DNA using divalent metal ions like Mg^{2+} . These metal ions act as cofactor for the proper functioning of DNase.

EDTA chelates the divalent metal ions and thus does not allow DNase to access them.

Therefore in this way DNA is prevented from degradation during its isolation.
