Why is heat described as "lost" energy?

Biology
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]3 years ago
8 0
In residential heating, convection is the mechanism by which heat is lost by warm air leaking to the outside when the doors are opened, or cold air leaking into the house through the cracks or openings in walls, windows, or doors. When cold air comes in contact with the heater in a room, it absorbs the heat and rises.

Sav [38]
<span>1) The probability of F2 seed chosen at random will be yellow is the same as asking about the probability of forming a yellow seed in that generation. The answer is 3/4 (75%) because 1/4 = 25% GG is homozygous dominant and the rest 2/4 = 50% Gg are heterozygous.

2) In the F2 generation there are two genotypes that will breed true, which is homozygotic genotypes: GG and gg. But of these two, only one of them is yellow. The answer is 1/3 because from all the yellow seeds that resulted (GG, Gg and gG) only one has the genotype for true breeding.

3) The probability of taking out three seeds in which a least one is yellow can be calculated by subtracting the only  probability that doesn't fit the criterion, which is taking out a green seed 3 times: \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4}  = 1/64.
 Then substract that to 1 1-  \frac{1}{64} = \frac{63}{64}

4) there are three possible groupings in which the green is taken once and the yellow seeds taken twice. The first possibility (follow the example) is the green being the first to come out, another possibility is being the second and the last possibility is being taken in the third time.
For example, Green yellow yellow- probability : </span>
<span><span><span>\frac{1}{4} * \frac{3}{4} * \frac{3}{4}</span> = 9/64

This is one possibily, but since there are 3, multiply it by 3 and you obtain the final answer:2</span>7/64. </span>

Digest excess or Worn-out cell parts, Food particles, and invading viruses or bacteria.
nataly862011 [7]

the answer could not be D because a Golgi Apparatus  is a tiny structure, or organelle, in a cell that "packages" nutrients for use inside the cell. The answer could not be c. because a nucleus  is a tiny structure, or organelle, in a cell that "packages" nutrients for use inside the cell. The answer could not be  Endoplasmic Reticulum because that is where proteins are transported from one part to the other. So the only answer left is Mitochondria, because the Mitochondriamain function is to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
