A state is looking to reduce the cost of transportation, which uses 7.10×10^14 BTUs per year. Currently the cost of 10^6BTUs is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$ 284 million dollars

Explanation:

If the energy usage of all transportation is 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year, if their efficiency is to increase by 20%, The new energy usage will be (1 + 20/100)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = (1.02)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

The energy saved is thus the difference 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year - 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

Since 10⁶ BTU costs $ 20.00, then,

0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU costs 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU × $ 20.00/10⁶ BTU = $ 2.84 × 10⁸ per year = $ 284 million dollars

So the state saves $ 284 million dollars in one year

Most fertilizers contain ammonia. Ammonia (NH3) forms when hydrogen reacts with nitrogen. Which balanced equation represents amm
Lana71 [14]
<span>The balanced equation for ammonia (NH3) is 3H2 + N2 ď 2NH3. This equation starts from H2 + N2 ď NH3. We have 1 N and 3 H on the right side (the product side) of the equation, so we multiply each by 2 to get 2 N and 6 H. We do this so that we don’t have an odd number of H atoms. We then balance the left side (the reactant side) of the equation with the right side, N is already balanced, but we have to multiply H by 3 to get 6 H atoms (to match the right side of the equation.</span>

In flowering plants, plasmodesmata are narrow channels through cell walls that connect the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. An expl
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Option-D

Explanation:

Plasmodesmata are the plasma membrane lined pores present in the cells of the plants. Inside these pores runs a closed tubelike structure which is an extension of the endoplasmic reticulum.

The plasmodesmata allows cell to cell communication which involves symplast mode of transport that is through its cytoplasm.

The small water soluble molecules like amino acid and sugars can easily pass through these plasmodesmata via diffusion. The large molecules can be transported through these plamodesmata through selective diffusion.

Thus, Option-D is the correct answer.
