Darrel conducted an experiment with the following procedure: Fill two cups with ice water. Place an uninflated balloon snuggly o

nto your left index finger. Blow a little air into an identical balloon, and place it onto your right index finger. Place both fingers into the cups of ice water. Darrel noticed that his right finger felt warmer in the ice water than did his left finger. Which of the following does the experiment show?
A. Air is a good radiator of heat.
B. Air is a good insulator of heat.
C. Air is a good conductor of heat.
D. Air is a good convector of heat.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

The resistance of the device is 27Ω

Explanation:

When a device is used in a circuit in which the voltage is 81 V, the current flowing through the device is 3 A.

In order to calculate the resistance of the device, we know that the resistance is directly proportional to the voltage in the terminals of the device and the current flowing through it.

Using Ohm's law

R=\frac{V}{I} \\R=\frac{81V}{3A}=27Ω

Hypothesize whether prokaryotic cells might have been symbiotic before the evolution of eukaryotic
lorasvet [3.4K]
Some scientists hypothesize that the eukaryotic cells are really the result of symbiotic processes!

Specifically, the internal organs of the cells could be a remnant of a symbiotic relationship in which one cell lived inside of another cell. These two cells then both split upon reproduction and eventually the cell inside was reduced to an organelle.

But according to this theory, it is very likely that the prokaryotic cells engaged in a number of symbiotic relationship, and that this actually lead to the emergence of eukaryotic cells!

1. Increased efforts to conserve areas such as rain forests are necessary in order to
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

1. Protect biodiversity

2. An indicator species

3. Biomagnification

4. Cutting down all the trees for lumber

5. Bioaccumulation

Explanation:

1. Conserving areas such as rain forests protect biodiversity because rain forests hold one of the highest biodiversity. They carry different types of resources that support different forms of life and at the same time, the organisms that live there support each other as well.

2. An indicator species is an organism that scientists can observe to see if there are changes in the environment it lives in. They judge the change or the implications based on the absence of the species in the environment (in which they used to be present), the presence of the species, and markers of adaptation due to the change in the ecosystem.

3. Biomagnification is a term used when contaminants that were consumed by the organisms in the lower trophic level are passed on to the next trophic level in higher concentrations. This is why those in the highest trophic levels are affected the most because they get the higher concentration of contaminants. DDT was banned when this phenomena was observed.

4. The greatest decrease in rain forest stability would be due to the cutting of trees. We can disrupt stability by gathering resources like nuts from some trees or when you remove one species of plant for medicine. However, the trees are an essential part of the rain forest because each part or area of the tree support different organisms. By cutting the whole trees off and several of them, you doom the organisms that rely on them as well.

5. As mentioned above, bioaccumulation is often interchanged with biomagnification but they differ in the usage of the terms. Like biomagnification, it talks about the accumulation of contaminants in organisms that ingest or absorb them. But bioaccumulation is a term used in a smaller scale, where it talks about the accumulation of the contimants in the tissues of the organism and not how they are passed on.
