What is the definition of Convection?

Biology
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. A hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense and sinks.

2. Radiation

3. When you are making soup and the water is rising and lowering.

4. conduction

5. Conduction

6. convection

Explanation:

1. Convection is one of the three methods of heat transfer involving the transfer of heat by the rise and fall of a fluid (liquid and gas) caused by difference in temperature. Based on this, a hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense and sinks is a perfect definition of convection.

2. Another method of heat transfer called RADIATION involves the transfer of heat between surfaces without a contact between them. The sun heating the human body represents an example of radiation because there is no direct contact between the heat source (sun) and the heated surface (human body).

3. Making soup and the water is rising and lowering is an example of convection because it involves the rising and lowering of a liquid (soup) due to a temperature gradient.

4. Conduction is a method of heat transfer that involves the transfer of heat through a solid medium in direct contact with one another. The solid material is called the CONDUCTOR. The transfer of heat from a warm sand to the bare feet, acting as the conductor is an example of CONDUCTION.

5. Heat is transferred when one touches a fire. This represents CONDUCTION because the fire transfers the heat via a solid medium (hand) in contact with it.

6. The warm air near a room rises because there is transfer of heat, caused by a difference in temperature, through the fluid (gas) causing it to become more dense and rise.

If the paramecium was not able to contract its contractile vacuole, it would be in danger of bursting. The cell would not be able to hold too much water. This would happen faster if the paramecium was in water with a low salt concentration because there is more water and less salt, so the water would accumulate faster.

Please watch the Generation Genius video and answer the questions. Generation Genius video on electromagnetic Spectrum:
monitta

Answer:

  1. the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves.
  2. The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio waves, infrared photons have still more, then visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, and, the most energetic of all, gamma-rays
  3. Energy is transferred from one place to another by the propagation of waves
  4. It uses Ultraviolet light radiation
  5. As light passes through a prism, it is bent, or refracted, by the angles and plane faces of the prism and each wavelength of light is refracted by a slightly different amount. ... As a result, all of the colors in the white light of the sun separate into the individual bands of color characteristic of a rainbow.
