Summarize how earth atmosphere and surface receive energy

1 answer:

4 0

Energy is transferred between the earth's surface and the atmosphere in a variety of ways, including radiation, conduction, and convection. The graphic below uses a campstove to summarize the various mechanisms of heat transfer. If you were standing next to the campstove, you would be warmed by the radiation emitted by the gas flame. A portion of the radiant energy generated by the gas flame is absorbed by the frying pan and the pot of water. By the process of conduction, this energy is transferred through the pot and pan. If you reached for the metal handle of the frying pan without using a potholder, you would burn your fingers! As the temperature of the water at the bottom of the pot increases, this layer of water moves upward and is replaced by cool water descending from above. Thus convection currents that redistribute the newly acquired energy throughout the pot are established

Why? from the smallest single celled organism to the tallest tree, all life model 1?

arsen [322]

From the smallest single celled organism to the tallest tree all life depend on the properties and reactions of four marcro molecules which are carbohydrate, protein, lipids and nucleic acid.
This is because, these organic molecules are the building blocks of all living things and they are responsible for most of the structure and functions in the body.

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

II, III, IV, I

Explanation:

Blood pressure regulation is an example of negative feedback mechanism. When the blood pressure is low, sensor in the blood vessels called baroreceptors detect this and send a signal to the control center which is the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus compares the current blood pressure with the normal and proceeds to send signals to the heart, as well as blood vessels and kidneys. The heart begins to beat faster, thereby increasing the heart rate and a a result, blood pressure goes back up to normal.
