BTX or batrachotoxin is a type of steroidal alkaloid which was first derived from the skin of Dendrobatidae or poison dart frogs. This neurotoxin prevents the muscle and nerve cells from transmitting electrical signals. The toxin permanently blocks electrical signal transmission from the nerves to the muscle by binding and inactivating the sodium channels.

Answer:
O . All of these are important to life
Given:
The heat content of the pizza is Q = 500 kcal
The volume of the cold water is V = 50 L
The mass of a liter of cold water is 1 kg.
Calculate the mass, M, of cold water.
M = (50 L)*(1 kg/L) = 50 kg
The specific heat of water is
c = 4.184 kJ/(kg-K)
Also,
1 kcal = 4184 J, therefore
Q = (500 kcal)*(4184 J/kcal) = 2.092 x 10⁶ J
Let ΔT = increase in temperature of the cold water, °C (same as K).
Then
Q = M*c*ΔT
or
ΔT = Q/(M*c)
Answer: The temperature increases by 10 °C (or 10 K)
