If earth was like a hard-boiled egg which part of earth would the egg shell represent and why

Biology
2 answers:
iragen [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Earth's crust.

Explanation:

A boiled egg can be used to represent the layers of the earth. Because eggshell is the outermost layer of the egg, it can be compared to the earth's crust. Following, we can consider that the egg white is the earthly mantle and the egg yolk is the nucleus.

The Earth's crust is the surface layer of the earth, the outer manifestation of rocks and minerals. Another possible definition also for the earth's crust is to consider it the solid layer of the planet, although many geologists believe that the inner core portion is also solidified.

The egg shell would be most representative of the Earth's Mantle or "Crust", the yolk and white would represent the molten metal inside the earths core I assume.

Answer:

B

Mutation is the ultimate source of genetic variation, but mechanisms such as sexual reproduction and genetic drift contribute to it as well Because prokaryotes are haploid, such a mutation immediately become part of the genetic makeup of the cell unlike eukaryotic diploids where a normal second copy of the gene usually protects the cell from the potentially lethal effect of such a mutation.

If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same a
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Here is the full question:

(A) If a closed container contains a mouse as well as enough food, water, and oxygen for the mouse to live for 3 weeks,

How much will the container weigh 1 and 2 weeks later after the  mouse has eaten, drunk and exercised (respiration is CO2 emission), and why?

(B) If the mouse was in a wire cage and only the weights of the mouse, food, and water were considered, would you come to the same answer as in (A) and why?

Explanation:

(A) The mouse will weigh the same. This is because solids, liquid, and gases cannot escape the closed container. All of the life processes involving reactions conserve the atoms involved. Some of those atoms will appear in the form of gases, some as solids, and others as liquids but all will be retained in the closed container.

(B) In a wire cage, gases can escape. This means that the weight will not be the same after 1 and 2 weeks. The weight would be less than the original weight of the mouse, it's food, and it's water.
