The equation for the thermal efficiency of a system is given by n = Tc/Thx100 where n is the thermal efficiency, Tc is the temperature of the cold reservoir and Th is the temperature of the hot reservoir. Dividing 190 by 515 gives us an efficiency of 36.9%.

How do clouds scatter light energy ?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Non-selective scatter is primarily caused by water droplets in the atmosphere. ... In the visible wavelengths light is scattered evenly, hence fog and clouds appear white. Since clouds scatter all wavelengths of light, this means that clouds block most energy from reaching the Earth's surface.

If trypsin were to be placed in an acidic environment, how would it function? How do you know?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

If trypsin is in an acidic environment, it will decrease its function, since its optimum pH is 8.

Explanation:

Trypsin is an enzyme responsible for break peptide bonds, thus hydrolyzing proteins into peptides and amino acids. This enzyme is secreted by the pancreas and poured into the duodenum —an alkaline environment— where it acts.

<u>Since the </u><u>optimal pH for trypsin to fulfill its function is 8</u><u>, if the enzyme were placed in an </u><u>acidic environment</u><u> it would decrease its function</u>. This is because enzymes work under specific pH and temperature conditions, and changes in these conditions affect enzymatic activity.

Which of the following best describes what would happen if the offspring of a fragrant, red rose bush produced flowers with no s
drek231 [11]
The answer is <span>B. The offspring would not cross-fertilize often with other roses.

Scent and colour of the flowers are important for pollination because they will attract pollinators. Flowers </span>with no scent and small, pale petals will attract much <span>fewer </span>pollinators than flowers <span>with scent and large coloured petals</span>. This means those bushes would not cross-fertilize often with other roses.
However, they would not die from a lack of pollinators, nor would produce seeds by asexual reproduction. Also, they would not yield more fruit than the parent rose, their fruit would probably be very small,
