Porque esta vivo un ser vivo?

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>Scientifically speaking, living things are alive because they have complex systems that allow them to be born, grow, reproduce and, when systems fail, die.</u>

Explanation:

The translation of the question is:

  • why is a living being alive?

<h2>Solution</h2>

Answering from a scientific point of view, not a philoshophical one, a <em>living </em>organism is differentiated from a non-living entity in that the <em>living being</em> is born, grows, has the ability to reproduce and dies.

All that is possible because the living beings posses a complex network of systems that sustain their life.

Those systems include the homeosthasis, the metabolism, the answer to external stimulus, the ability of adaptation, the development (growing) and the reproduction.

To be considered a living being the organism must count wiht all those systems.

It is important that you know that viruses are not living organisms: they are chemical molecules which do not have metabolism and do not grow.

Explain what will happen to the organisms that is affected by human activities.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Human activity is by far the biggest cause of habitat loss.

Humans are now responsible for causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and plant species. We take up more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats. ... Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats that plants and animals need to survive.

Explanation:

Human activities are the various actions for recreation, living, or necessity done by people. For instance it includes leisure, entertainment, industry, recreation, war, and exercise.

Over time, destruction of such habitats leads to reduced biodiversity, weakening the Earth's ecosystems, and ultimately posing a major threat to human life. While, significant tracts of habitat have been lost, and along with them many species of plant and animal, steps can be taken to slow and even reverse the process.

One of the most significant ways in which humans have impacted on the lives of other species is by causing climate change. Many animals, including birds and frogs, now breed much earlier in spring in Britain than they did 20 years ago. Whether or not this is having a harmful effect on them has yet to be determined.

1‑propanol ( n ‑propanol) and 2‑propanol (isopropanol) form ideal solutions in all proportions. Calculate the partial pressure a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

y_{prop} = 0.134; y_{iso} = 0.866

The partial pressure of isopropanol = 34.04 Torr; The partial pressure of propanol = 5.26 Torr

Explanation:

For each of the solutions:

mole fraction of isopropanol  (x_{iso}) = 1 - mole fraction of propanol (x_{prop}).

Given: mole fraction of propanol = 0.247. Thus, the mole fraction of isopropanol = 1 - 0.247 = 0.753.

Furthermole, the partial pressure of isopropanol = x_{iso}*vapor pressure of isopropanol = 0.753*45.2 Torr = 34.04 Torr

The partial pressure of propanol = x_{prop}*vapor pressure of propanol = 0.247*20.9 Torr = 5.16 Torr

Similarly,

In the vapor phase,

The mole fraction of propanol (y_{prop}) = \frac{P_{prop} }{P_{prop}+P_{iso}}

Where, P_{prop} is the partial pressure of propanol and P_{iso} is the partial pressure of isopropanol.

Therefore,

y_{prop} = 5.26/(34.04+5.16) = 0.134

y_{iso} = 1 - 0.134 = 0.866

Answer:

Explanation:

E = (hc)/(λ)

E = (6.624x10^(-27))Js x ((3×10^8)ms^(-1)) /

(77.8x10^(-9)m)

E = 2.55 x 10^(-11) J

You could add solid KCl to the solution to precipitate out AgCl(s). What mass of KCl is needed to precipitate the silver ions fr
padilas [110]

Answer:

0.143 g of KCl.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

AgNO3(aq) + KCl(aq) --> AgCl(s) + KNO3(aq)

Molar concentration = mass/volume

= 0.16 * 0.012

= 0.00192 mol AgNO3.

By stoichiometry, 1 mole of AgNO3 reacts with 1 mole of KCl to form a precipitate.

Number of moles of KCl = 0.00192 mol.

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5

= 74.5 g/mol

Mass = molar mass * number of moles

= 74.5 * 0.00192

= 0.143 g of KCl.
