Which statement BEST characterizes the general relationship between air pressure and elevation?

Biology
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
4 0

Both have an inverse relationship.


Explanation:

The two have an inverse relationship, that is, when elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases.

This is due to the amount of air on top of you at your current elevation.

At lower elevations, you have more air above you, and thus more pressure.

At higher elevations, you have less air above you, and thus less pressure.


At high elevation food takes longer time too cook due to low pressure, so at high altitude pressure cooker is used to cook food.


OK, :)

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

(A) True

Explanation:

The sun is producting the electromagnetic radiation which is the primary energy source on Earth and the driver of the entire climate system.

In general the sun is the source of energy that drives all life on Earth. This energy governs the weather, ocean currents and the hydrological cycles.

Without the continuous influx of sunlight and heat, life on Earth would cease to exist. The sun sets off the hydrological cycle, causing it to constantly evaporate into the atmosphere, from which it falls back to Earth.

These waves are traveling at the same speed. Which wave has the highest frequency?
Dmitry [639]

Wave of option A has the highest frequency.

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Frequency is defined as the total number of complete waves in an unit time. A complete wave consists of a complete cycle of the amplitudes of waves.

In all the figures, we see transverse waves. They have the mean position denoted by a straight line, and the waves do oscillate up and down to complete a full cycle. The most number of waves in a given time has the highest frequency. If we count the full number of waves in the particular given time, Wave A has 5.75 complete waves, wave B has 3.5 complete waves, wave C has 2 complete waves and the wave D has 2.75 complete waves. So the wave A has highest number of complete oscillations in a given time. So wave A has highest frequency.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a. Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

The primary or main pigment in plants is the chlorophyll. The chlorophyll gives plants their characteristics green colour and helps in the absorption of light during photosynthesis.

Other pigments in plants include carotenoid with its characteristic yellow, red or orange colour; anthocyanin with its re/blue colour and betalains with its red/yellow colour.

<em>Hence, if pigments from a particular species of plant are extracted and subjected to paper chromatography, one would expect the pigments to be separated into several colour bands ranging from green to yellow/orange.</em>

The correct option is a.
