Answer:
<em>No</em>. Gender traits in humans are largely determined by biophysical processes. There seems to be a vocal political faction that is trying to convince people in the name of liberty and equality that gender traits are completely learned, and therefore arbitrary. But this claim disagrees with scientific evidence. In general, boys play more with cars and girls play more with dolls not because their parents are perpetuating outdated gender stereotypes, but because their brain is telling them to. This fact does not mean that boys have to play with boy toys, or that boys who play with dolls aren't really boys. It is just a scientific observation about average behavior and its link to fetal development.
Answer:
1. Decibels
2. whisper - 20-decibels, normal talking - 60 decibels, rock concert - 120 decibels
3. 10,000
4. A Jet plane
Explanation:
1. The unit refers to what specifically is being measured. If the graph was of heights, it could be metres, centimetres, feet, or inches, for example. In this case, the graph is of sound level. We can see beside the Y axis label "Sound Level" that the unit is decibels.
2. Take each individual sound source and look at how tall the bars are (purple rectangles). For each one, we can look across to the Y axis (left side) and see the corresponding sound level for each
3. We were told in the introduction to the question that for every 10 decibel increase, the sound increases by 10 times. So going from 10 -> 20 decibels represents a 10x increase, and 10-> 30 represents a 100x increase.
To figure out the increase from whisper (20) to normal talking (60), take away 20 from 60 to see how many decibels difference there are between the two levels.
60-20 = 40
There is a 40 decibel increase. If 10 decibel difference = 10x and 20 decibel difference = 100x, then 30 = 1000x, and 40 = 10,000x (keep adding a 0 with every 10!)
4. We can see from the graph that the pain threshold is 120 decibels. The sound level that is greater than the pain threshold (meaning it would be painful) is the jet plane.

I believe water can go across the membrane. I hope this helps.
