Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.
Answer:
Lake A: pH = 4.5; Lake B: pH = 7.5
Explanation:
I think that one because if you look on the acid vs base chart acid is from 0-6 and bases are from 8-14 and acids are less toxic, so you would infer that lake A has acid and lake B has bases.
i would have picked the ones closest to 7 ,which is neutral, but I'm not sure that a base can be lower then 7 so I didn't pick answer C
Answer:
Haemoglobin; liver; binds; stored; bile duct; small intestine; lipids.
Explanation:
Serology can be defined as the study of blood and the reactions between antibodies and antigens in the blood.
In Biology, blood pH can be defined as a measure of the hydrogen ion (H¯) concentration of blood i.e the level of alkalinity or acidity of blood.
Basically, the normal blood pH of a human being should be between 7.35 and 7.45.
Hence, one of the ways in which the body regulates blood pH is with proteins. Proteins help regulate blood pH by accepting and releasing hydrogen ions. Typically, when the blood pH falls, the hydrogen ions (H¯) are accepted (absorbed) while hydrogen ions are released when the blood pH rises.
For example, a protein such as haemoglobin which makes up a composition of the red blood cells, binds an amount of acid required to regulate blood pH.
In the spleen, haemoglobin from red blood cells is broken down to form (unconjugated) bilirubin. Unconjugated bilirubin is insoluble in blood plasma so binds to albumens in the blood and is sent to the liver. Bilirubin binds with glucuronic acid to form conjugated bilirubin. It forms part of the bile, which is stored in the gall bladder. Food in the gut stimulates gall bladder contraction and the bile passes down the bile duct to the small intestine, where it aids in the digestion of lipids.
Gamma waves have the highest energy and can be extremely harmful. Hope this helped.
