mammals excrete nitrogenous waste primarily as urea, which is water-soluble, in liquid urine. Birds and reptiles excrete it prim

arily as solid uric acid, which is not water soluble. How could this possibly be adaptive, given that it takes more energy to convert excess nitrogen into uric acid than it does to produce urea

What is fusion and how does it relate to e=mc squared?

E = mc2 Meaning

At the beginning of the 20th century, the notion of mass underwent a radical revision. Mass lost its absoluteness. One of the striking results of Einstein’s theory of relativity is that mass and energy are equivalent and convertible one into the other. Equivalence of the mass and energy is described by Einstein’s famous formula E = mc2. In words, energy equals massmultiplied by the speed of light squared. Because the speed of light is a very large number, the formula implies that any small amount of matter contains a very large amount of energy. The mass of an object was seen to be equivalent to energy, to be interconvertible with energy, and to increase significantly at exceedingly high speeds near that of light. The total energy of an object was understood to comprise its rest mass as well as its increase of mass caused by increase in kinetic energy.

In special theory of relativity certain types of matter may be created or destroyed, but in all of these processes, the mass and energy associated with such matter remains unchanged in quantity. It was found the rest mass an atomic nucleus is measurably smaller than the sum of the rest masses of its constituent protons, neutrons and electrons. Mass was no longer considered unchangeable in the closed system. The difference is a measure of the nuclear binding energy which holds the nucleus together. According to the Einstein relationship (E = mc2) this binding energy is proportional to this mass difference and it is known as the mass defect.

Which reason best explains why the cell membrane helps the cell maintain homeostasis
Liula [17]

Answer:

Homeostasis involves maintaining a balance of several factors that make a cell healthy.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is a lipid bilayer that prevents that passage of water and ions. This allows cells to maintain a higher concentration of sodium ions out the outside of the cell.

How long can sperm live outside of the body?
liraira [26]
About 20 minutes<span>Sperm can live outside of the body for only about 20 minutes to an hour, depending on how exposed the semen is to the air and other environmental factors. To avoid the slightest risk of pregnancy, a woman should make sure that ejaculated semen doesn't get at all close to her vagina.</span>

Which structure of the heart is responsible for prevening blood from flowing in tthe wrong direction?
Sloan [31]
The valves are responsible for preventing blood from flowing in the wrong direction, they are present in the veins, and the arteries don't need them because the aorta (biggest artery) pumps or in other words pushes it with such a force that no other force can change its direction, in the veins there is no structure present for pumping them as a result we have got valves so that they go in one direction...... the meaning of the word valve is to allow in one direction
