As fluid moves through a vessel, which factors determine the flow resistance? (Select all that apply.)

Biology

Answer:

- the length of the vessel

- the radius of the vessel

- the viscosity of the fluid

Explanation: A blood vessel can contract and relax so therefore the most important of these three factors is the radius of the blood vessel as very small changes in the radius of the blood vessel may lead to large changes in the resistance.  The smaller (more narrow) the blood vessel is the more difficult it will be for the blood to flow increasing blood pressure and therefore resistance and an increase in radius will reduce resistance.   The longer the blood vessel the more resistance.  Blood viscosity generally does not change that much but it can be changed by factors such as temperature, hematocrit (ratio of volume of red blood cells to total blood volume) and low flow states.  The more viscous the blood the higher the resistance.  At higher temperatures the blood would be less viscous and there will be reduced flow resistance.

As distance west of kilauea increases the size of the islands generally appears to decrease. What is likely the reason for this
MakcuM [25]

The reason is two fold, the first is the active volcano of Kilauea implies there is a lot of heat under the big island of Hawaii, and that heat causes the island to be buoyed up. However, the other islands do not have active volcanos, are colder, and have subsided, the 2nd is, because the volcanoes on the older islands are dormant, those islands are and are no longer growing and are steadily eroding away.

How can microalgae be used to create biodiesel
mestny [16]

The oil extracted through these methods is referred to as "green crude" and it's not ready to be used as fuel until it undergoes another process called transesterification. This step adds more substances to the mix, including alcohol and a chemical catalyst that causes the alcohol to react with the oil. This reaction creates a mix of biodiesel and glycerol. The final step in processing separates the glycerol from the mixture and leaves a biodiesel that's ready to be used as fuel. Maybe one day it really will be easy being green.

Explain why a plant that does not get enough nitrate has weak growth
blagie [28]

Answer:

Nitrate deficiency

Explanation:

Plants absorb nitrates in water through their roots. Nitrates are present in high levels in plant fertilisers. Without nitrates, the amount of chlorophyll in leaves reduces. This reduces the plant's ability to photosynthesise and grow properly, which reduces the farmers' crop yield .
