Answer:

C.The percentage of essential body fat is the same for both males and females.

Explanation:

Among the given statements, only C is incorrect. Typically, on average, women have 5-12% more body fat than men. This has been mainly linked with the female hormones (e.g. oestrogen). Firstly, women can store more fat in their bodies due to the presence of excessive adipose tissues. Secondly, they are suppose to carry a child at some stage of their life, so a better food supply and protection is necessary.

On the other hand, rest of the options are true. Essential body fat is always required by body. It accounts for 3% of total body wight. And, it can be found in organs, bones and muscles at different percentages.

Why did earth turn white?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer & Explanation:

  • Scientists believe that three to four severe ice ages, which froze nearly or all of the surface, occurred between 750 million and 580 million years ago, probably because Earth's land masses were all located at or near the equator, which resulted in increased weathering.
  • Weathering is when wind and precipitation break down rocks and minerals on the planet's surface. The process leads to decreased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, which allows more heat to dissipate from the surface and into space, cooling the planet.
  • Once the world iced over, carbon dioxide brought up by volcanoes could no longer be removed from the atmosphere: there were no rivers, no rain or snow and no weathering. For millions of years, carbon dioxide levels climbed, eventually rising to about 300 times what they are today.

How do frequency and amplitude affect the motion of the boat? HELP ASAP!!!!!
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: Waves are defined as energy transferred from one place to another. The way in which the energy travels is called the medium. These waves can be in the form vibrations through light or matter, such as solid, liquid, or gas (e.g. sound waves or earthquakes). The most important terms in relation to these waves are wavelength, frequency and amplitude.

Wavelength is directly related to frequency because it describes the displacement between the waves, whereas frequency describes how many waves pass within a second. Larger wavelengths are associated with lower frequencies, and smaller wavelengths are associated with higher frequencies.
