Consider a coccus and a rod of equal volume. Which is more likely to survive in a dry environment? Explain your answer Which wou

ld be better adapted to a moist environment? Explain your answer.

Oxana [17]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Coccus  is suitable for dry environment and a rod is better adapted for moist environment.

Explanation:

The probability of Coccus would be  better suitable for a environment which is dry. A sphere posses less surface area for the volume, as such,  moisture which is  lost through osmosis  is less in dry environment conditions.

During a moist environment, the ratio of the surface area to volume of a rod shaped bacterium is high, which allow higher efficiency to transfer water and solutes into and outside of the cell, and to make possible for a cell which is in rod shaped, have a metabolic rate higher.

Assume that at sea-level the air pressure is 1.0 atm and the air density is 1.3 kg/m3.
scoundrel [369]

Answer

Pressure, P = 1 atm

air density, ρ = 1.3 kg/m³

a) height of the atmosphere when the density is constant

   Pressure at sea level = 1 atm = 101300 Pa

   we know

   P = ρ g h

   h = \dfrac{P}{\rho\ g}

   h = \dfrac{101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

          h = 7951.33 m

height of the atmosphere will be equal to 7951.33 m

b) when air density decreased linearly to zero.

  at x = 0  air density = 0

  at x= h   ρ_l = ρ_sl

 assuming density is zero at x - distance

 \rho_x = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x

now, Pressure at depth x

dP = \rho_x g dx

dP = \dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times x g dx

integrating both side

P = g\dfrac{\rho_{sl}}{h}\times \int_0^h x dx

P =\dfrac{\rho_{sl}\times g h}{2}

 now,

h=\dfrac{2P}{\rho_{sl}\times g}

h=\dfrac{2\times 101300}{1.3\times 9.8}

  h = 15902.67 m

height of the atmosphere is equal to 15902.67 m.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Answer

Explanation:

The very first generation of star systems in the universe probably consisted only of hydrogen and helium. This means that,

There were no comets or asteroids in these first-generation star systems. As the comets and asteroids were the only soruce of elements other than Hydrogen and Heliums ( As starts mainly consists of helium and hydrogen).
