Milli word means 1/1000 times while kilo word means 1000 times. That means a milli meter will be equal to 1/1000 meter while 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. The conversion factor would be: 1 millimeter * (1 meter/1000millimeter) / (1000 meters/1 kilometer)= 1 * 10^-6 kilometer. The conversion factor is 1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm

Since 1 mm equal to 1 * 10^-6 kilometer, the whale length would be:28,578 millimeters * (1 * 10^-6 kilometer/mm)= 0.028578 km= 2.85 * 10^-2 km

Below are the questions:

A) A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 45 times as massive and falling at 8.9m/s , a typical raindrop speed. How fast is the raindrop, with the attached mosquito, falling immediately afterward if the collision is perfectly inelastic? 

<span>B) Because a raindrop is "soft" and deformable, the collision duration is a relatively long 8.0 ms. What is the mosquito's average acceleration, in g's, during the collision? The peak acceleration is roughly twice the value you found, but the mosquito's rigid exoskeleton allows it to survive accelerations of this magnitude. In contrast, humans cannot survive an acceleration of more than about 10 g. 
</span>
Below are the answers:

a. <span>MU = (M + m)V; where M = 45 m, U = 8.9 m/s, find V = ?. V = (45/46)*8.9 = 8.7 m/s 
</span>
b. <span>F = m dV/dT = m 8.7/8E-3 = m 1.0875E+03; so G = 1.0875E+03/9.8 = 111 G's.</span>

Germinating plant seeds can convert stored fatty acids into oxaloacetate and a variety of carbohydrates. Animals cannot synthesi
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The reason why animals <u>cannot synthesize oxaloacetate</u> is because the fatty acids which they produce, are not able to create glucose (oxaloacetate).

Explanation:

The fatty acids in animals need to be converted to acetyl-CoA first, but this acetyl won't convert into oxaloacetate, in comparison to plants, that use the glyoxylate cycle, that allows them to produce the mentioned glucose.

What is one condition that must be met for a population to be in genetic equilibrium?
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium

Explanation:

In order for the population's gene pool frequencies to remain constant, the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium must be met. Random mating, no mutation, migration, or natural selection must all be present, as well as a big sample size.
