Answer:

What it means when they say draw "to scale" the size you draw has to be relative or similar to its actual size.

For example if you draw a 100-foot building with windows 5 ft high building and scale it down where 1 inch = 10 ft. The drawing of the building would be 10 inches tall with windows 0.5 in high.

Since you are drawing a cell, it would be a bit different. When you select a size of the cell you will draw, the organelles should be sized or scaled to the size it would be if the cell were actually that big.

In other words, it should be proportion to the actual size of the cell.

If you look at the head face of a penny for example, you would see President Licoln's head scaled down to the size of a penny. The eyes and nose are proportioned to the size of the penny as well.

In which position are the earth, moon, and sun during a new moon?

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

A. Moon is between the Sun and Earth

Explanation:

The new moon stage is the faze in which we can not see the Moon from Earth. In this stage, the Moon is lacking from the sky, or rather we can not see it because it is totally dark from the side that is facing the Earth. The reason for this is that the Moon is located between the Sun and the Earth. The Sun is making half of the Moon bright as it always does, but in this stage it is the half of the Moon that is facing the Sun, while the other half that is facing the Earth is totally dark as it doesn't receive any sunlight at that time.

How do cricket communicate temperature and reactions and body parts allow them to do this?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

as temperature rises, mussles in a crickets body contract more, causing it to chirp more often

Explanation:Crickets, like all living things, have many chemical reactions going on inside their bodies, such as reactions that allow muscles to contract to produce chirping. Crickets, like all insects, are cold-blooded and take on the temperature of their surroundings. This affects how quickly these chemical muscle reactions can occur. Specifically, a formula called the Arrhenius equation describes the activation, or threshold, energy required to make these reactions occur. As the temperature rises, it becomes easier to reach a certain activation energy, thereby allowing chemical reactions, such as the ones that allow a cricket to chirp, to occur more rapidly.
